League Table 2014/15

Pre season I thought Perth would miss the playoffs.

I have now accepted that they are the real deal in the sense they will finish in the top 4. I'm not yet ready to accept they are the real deal in the sense that they are favourites to win the competition. They seem to be just doing enough to win games and a not a lot more than that.

I think we should stop counting our chickens. This thread could be a laugh in 2 months.

All of our threads are a laugh after 2 weeks.

I don't think chickens are being counted.

No one seems to be saying we definitely WILL finish in the top 2/3/4... 

I think people are just admitting/acknowledging that at the start of the season most of us were worrying / angsting over whether we would be 5th/6th/7th/ or 8th ish, and that now the focus has shifted to 2nd/3rd/4th/5th

That's a good thing.

Anyone else worried that we aren't looking to strengthen in the transfer window? We have two squad spots, and the money that Brockie was on.

He is also looking to recruit players for next season, with a defender and a striker top of his wishlist.

While the departures of Jeremy Brockie and Reece Caira mean there are two roster spots available, Merrick had no plans to bolster his squad in the January transfer window.

He had spoken with Marco Rojas' father and manager Rodi Rojas about a potential return but to no avail.

"There's no doubt that Rojas is going to stay in Germany and that's fine," Merrick said.

"I'll always look around and see who's available, check in with players and see how they're doing. I'll never try and twist someone's arm but I'll always let them know there's an option where I'm coaching. That's how I got the likes of [Michael] McGlinchey and [Nathan] Burns, I always keep in touch."

My answer to that is I trust Ernie's transer nouse. Look at his record. Trust him. He knows what he is doing. Within the constraints of how much he has to play with, who is available, and the gaps in our team, I am confident he'll do a good job of getting the best he can for us.

Plus, note that what he has achieved with transfers he has achieved at a time when he could not point to the form results and standings he can right now. So I reckon he has extra leverage/pulling power now to compared to before this season.

Yep, we know though that we don't have much depth in a few areas, and that teams like Sydney, City, and Roar are also going to strengthen in January, I would like us to be at least looking..

speak for yourself, I sure as heck aren't!

Where's Fever Bot?

Feverbot fell asleep during that dire game and hasn't woken up yet.

Wouldn't happen if Fever Bot was a T-1000.

He'll  be back.

Hmmm, didn't post the Brisbane vs Sydney game until the next day also. Not a fan of nil nils?

Hi Patrick, is there a way Fever Bot can incorporate the goals for, against and diff into the table?

We are currently in SECOND PLACE!!! 

Same Points (25), Goal Diff (11), and Goals Scored (25) as Victory. We have more wins though (8v7)!!

FeverBot is probably going to be unable to realise that unless Glory get another goal.

EDIT: Actually, A-League have got rid of Games WOn as a seperator. Victory ahead on Points in Head-To-Head matches.

And not even half way through the season.

We've never had FeverBot before.

FeverBot is the difference, surely!

A win tomorrow and we will have matched (or passed) our total points in 4 of the last 7 seasons - just past the half way point of this season!

Sorry about the wait - been camping.

Mind Blown!

Anyone elae getting fudgeing nervous after looking at the latest table?

You don't have to justify your personal/fashion tastes on this forum.  I'm quite liberal so it is of no concern to me.

Nervous? More tingly & excitey.

For the benefit of Number8, BBS and any other revisionist, the three seasons that we are not on the verge of passing total points for the season are the times we made the play offs (2009/10, 10/11 and 11/12) - all under Ricki "no plan" Herbert.

7 points clear of our previous best at this time (18 points) and in both of those seasons we lost the next game.

So if we win we'll be 10 points better than any previous season.

[quote=bringbacksmeltz] hey im just honoured to get a mention :) bottom line is we are now a decent  team something sadly lacking since 10/11 for the rose tint crew [quote] And you know what? There is nothing any one can say in arguing against that.
