Furns (@newyboys) is joined for this F3Derby week episode by David (@JeterPool), Michael (@BodyNovo) and Emma (@Synapse101).
After the opening question, we delve into the details of a 3-2 victory at home to Wellington Phoenix. We go through the major talking points from the game and review the overall performance while discussing player performances and tactics.
There isnt any news on the ownership front, however we discuss the news David Eland is leaving his interim role at the Jets at the end of the season. We get into some correspondence from fellow Jets supporters, before we preview the game on Sunday 28th February against Central Coast Mariners away from home. We then give our tips and thoughts on the rest of the games in Round 21.
