Furns (@newyboys) is joined this episode by David (@JeterPool), Michael (@BodyNovo) and Glen (@SufferJetsCity).
After the opening question, we spend some time reviewing the loss away from home to Adelaide United. We review the overall performance before discussing tactics and formations, as well as highlight some stats and player performances, including our new signings.
We discuss some correspondence from fellow Jets supporters before delving into the protracted Carney transfer to Sydney FC and how it affects the club, our other transfer business as well as how the current state of the club affects us in the transfer market.
We then preview the game on Sunday 7th February against Melbourne City at Hunter Stadium and give our tips and thoughts on the rest of the games in Round 18.
We round out the podcast by reading out your iTunes reviews.

Adelaide United Coach Record – Guillermo Amor 0% win ratio (0 wins, 2 drawn, 0 losses)
KEY FACTS:
General
Newcastle haven’t scored against Adelaide in the last 4 matches.
Both results this season have 0-0 draws.
Last week’s defeat was the club’s heaviest defeat at home and the second worst defeat in the club’s history. It came exactly 1 year after the 7-0 loss to Adelaide.
The Jets haven’t scored away from home since Rd4 against Melbourne City
Players
Mateo Poljak, Ben Kantarovski and Milos Trifunovic are all 1 booking away from an automatic suspension
Ben Kantarovski equals Matt Thompson’s number of A-League appearance (121) for the Jets this weekend.
Steven Ugarkovic could become the 136th player to appear for the Jets in the A-League.
Milos Trifunovic has a goals per minute ratio of 1 goal every 213 minutes. Some notable comparisons are Joel Griffith (198), Adam Taggart (168), Milton Rodriguez (200) and Sasho Petrovski (137).
Nigel Boogaard set a new club record as the quickest player to receive 2 red cards for the Jets. Boogaard took 12 matches while the previous holder, Mateo Corbo, took 14.
Coaches
Scott Miller’s Jets remain the least potent goalscorers in the club’s history.
Newcastle Jets
The Jets have only received 1 penalty in this fixture’s history.
At least one Jets player has received a booking in every match in this fixture’s history.
Newcastle have lost their last 3 matches on the road.
Newcastle have never defeated Adelaide on a Sunday.
I’m ordering Indian food Sunday because that’s my tradition for Adelaide away games following last year’s thrashing.
Adelaide United
With 3 wins on the trot and being undefeated in 8 matches, Adelaide are the current form team in the league.
Eugene Galekovic has kept 10 clean sheets against the Jets.
