Paston Out Injured!

Not good, but I have confidence in Crowther. I think he'll get a lot of experience from this when starting.

Plus, I am living with the theory for every goal that the opposite team scores against us, we'll score 3.

Needs more Gleeson.

Crowther is just plain dumb.lol. he has all the physical features but nothing else

Jeez what a spell we are having....first Muskrat then Siggy suspended for violent conduct and now our star keeper out.

Just means we have to win the midfield battle and keep the ball up the front.

hmmm I knew we were having a too smooth of a run earlier in the season.

sh*thouse

 

i have confidence that an extended run in the first team will help develop crowther into a good player, he should do alright

pretty hard though to start without 2 first choice defenders in front of him siggy in particular

time to step up crowther

Man that is sucky as . I think we should start off with a big old We love you Crowther. Because if he concedes a goal his confidence will drop agian. Especilly playing Sydney again.

Is Greenacre also out still? This is the sort of team you play agiaisnt youngheart Manawatu.

Exactly. The players we love get attention, then so should he and get his confidence going and know that we're all behind him.

Shouldn't all just be about Lochy even though he's a one man band

100% GOULD.

Jesus.. Thats rough

How about Theoklitos on loan? I'm not sure about the loan windows but he would be a good choice seeing Norwich clearly don't want him

Got home, went to yellowfever.co.nz and said 'Ohh f**k'

Bugger..... This is the time for the team to show some spine. With players out for several reasons, the rest need to stand up and be counted.
If they do stand up, we'll be fine - if not we could be in for the wooden spoon.

I'm nervous now though

Anyone see the Auckland City Game this morning?

I think Spoonley could be up to the task. He's a talent

unfortunately he's a little busy

Sack Ricki.

f**k we didnt need this

Also, TW would be pretty reluctant to let him go.  The Zoo would fall apart even more without Jim at the back.

I feel sick reading about this.  Very depressed and not confident of a win in P Town.  But hoping like hell for one.  Don't want to lose our unbeaten status, esp to Sydney.

Spoonley looked pretty average this morning...

Yeah a clean sheet and good saves against pros.
Damn he sucks.

Open your eyes mate

Sorry but Spoonley is just too small to be a top quality keeper.

Hey WPF do u have pastons injuries to minutes played stats

He made 1 good save and fumbled the ball numerous times.

Ahhhhhhhhhh CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder what Julio Cuello and Michael Utting are up to.

Utting is eating pies in between selling houses.

lol from memory Jelio was good at catching dogs but not much else!  

Shay Given is the same height as him.

Try again.

Nah, he's too busy abusing and swearing at referees.

The only positive out of this is that with sustained game time, we will find out if Crowther is the business or bust. Logically, if you give him 8 games he should settle into it and perform and show us what he is actually capable of and why he was signed. If he doesn't then Ricki would be wise to cast him aside at the end of the year and find another 2nd keeper of quality or put a young kiwi in there and develop him instead.

Wonder what Moss is thinking about his transfer now....

remember what Paston was like with Moss at no.1 every game ?

then when he left Paston really stepped up an is now a really good keeper.

hopefully Crowther can do the same.....

yea my understanding was crowther was reasonably regarded at QPR, so have to judge him after a run in the side. Not sure about Gouldy as our permanent second keeper though...

Needs more Gleeson
