Season 15: Week 4

This could be the first game this season decided by more than 1 goal, Sydney look way too strong. I reckon Sydney 3-0.

ALF should have scored in the first 20 seconds but his lob of Moss goes just wide.

Too easy for Ninkovic, 1-0

Well that's one way to atone for a defensive blunder!

Matt Millar levels things up after finding himself with a free header in the box, 1-1

Really open game with loads of chances bit it doesn't fell like a high quality game.

Hoffman with a shocker, should have scored.

Dear god, Hoffman's messed up two chances in 15 seconds.

To this very day it still hurts that he once scored two against us.

ALF! 2-1

Thoughts on that Ridenton tackle? I'm really surprised he didn't get at least a yellow, the studs were up and that is a big no no.

Fully expected a yellow, would not have been surprised if red. Thankfully common sense prevailed imo. 

Grant is absolutely tearing them apart down that side. A couple of poor crosses aside he's been phenomenally good.

McGowan's shot from a corner takes a massive deflection, 3-1

enjoying watching Sydney, they're a good team

Kosta skips past a couple defenders and slots his first for Sydney, 4-1

on the other hand, Newcastle are hopeless. I think Ernie is a busted flush

kosta gets off the mark. While Mossy's leg injury/slip helps him get by. 

They've defended very badly. At the other end all the meaningful chances are falling to Hoffman instead of Arroyo who has been largely a spectator the whole game.

their attacking movement is fantastic

You know a team's got an embarrassment of riches when it can sub off two of its best players with 20 to go.

Hoffman butchers a 1 on 1 with the Keeper.

Hoffman spurns another chance. Jets fans must be gnashing their teeth.

Which is absurd

Sydney very strong, and Newcastle are poor! Watched this game in particular to see how Ridenton and Moss were getting on. Ridenton looks worse for the Jets than he did for us, first half did literally nothing except run across the pitch receive the ball from his defender a couple of times and pass it straight back. No forward play from him at all, even when he was pushed higher up the pitch and began taking corners - he'll be the jets scapegoat this year.

Maybe that's a little hard on him. Agree he wasn't good at all but that needs to be seen in the context of a very poor team performance all round. It's confusing that Ernie persists in pushing him higher because he just doesn't have the ability to unlock a defence or any real scoring potential. He doesn't have quick footwork or a tight turning circle, so 2nd half especially he repeatedly lost possession under pressure. 

Defensively he is OK but when the likes of a rampant Sydney are ripping you to pieces no one is going to shine.

Ernie has problems with his squad that's for sure. For a start what Hoffman is doing leading the line is beyond me.

Not a lot is happening in this game

Between the football and McBreen's tedious wittering I am very nearly asleep.

Fantastic save from Lopar. Roar have actually had the better of this game.

How aren't Brisbane  winning?

this is fun

2-0

toivonen looked offside

Shambles! The Ola goal was superb though.

wow! another scorcher

Better than Ola's too. That's what true class can bring to a team. Singlehandedly brought them right back into the game.
