vs Cold Ghost - 15 Jan 8:30pm SS3

 

Why can't you be a bit more constructive with your comments instead of picking holes in mine? Is it because you have to wear that stupid Darth Vader outfit?

 

Seriously, this is not change for the sake of change. It's not a dumb idea. It's a commentary on the coaching and selection policy currently at the club which I personally think is flawed.

 

And something else to consider...... how do you know anyone who has not been in the match day squad or had any matches are better than established players? We haven't seen any of them. They have had little chance to prove themselves, and my suggestion that against a very young and inexperienced GCU team would be an ideal chance to try one or two of them seems reasonable.

 

Lastly, i've been a forum member since 2007 and don't make many posts because I think about what I want to say before I say it. On the other hand you Mr Vadar have made many, many posts towards your First Team status, unfortunately volume does not make you an expert.

Why don't you break the mould and say something worthwhile for a change? I welcome robust debate, and if you want to enter into it at least try and come up with some alternatives that add value to the conversation.

 

I love being part of the Nix family and want to see the team and players  do well, not just bag and slag them, and  just as importantly not bag my fellow supporter. With all due respect, taking your Star Wars costume aside, I'd like to invite you to do likewise.

 

Cheers

I see the midfield 3 as being interchangable with Sanchez playing just in behind the front two, with Ifill changing either side of Pavlovich. Perhaps Smith more central and Manny wider on the right when Ifill moves to the left from time to time. It's a fluid style of play requiring a lot of communication on the field, but do-able.

 

I wasn't sure about Tsats...thanks for the info. My main aim is to free Manny up into midfield. Vinnie Lia is another option i guess, but would like to see a younger player introduced soon beforte the playoffs.

 

 

 

Most of this season Ricki has played Greenie on his own up front  with little suppor. he may be more productive in a two man striking partnership than maybe Pavlovich, alternatively Alex Smith has played an attacking role in his pre.nix days . he couild also be an optiont

 

Advocating dropping Greenacre (workhorse and suffering from poor service delivery) Lia (who has been our most consistent midfielder) and starting a 2nd string LB at RB is deserved of ridicule. I'm happy to conede that Brown is a point of contention for 90% off fans - he is not with me but  I don't trumpet it much as it might seem stupid to you and the rest of the fans. I'll add to the fact that our away record is sh*t and you want to increase the chances of a loss but fielding that team just because its a 'young GCU side'? You must have missed how they played on the weekend then. It is not reasonable and bringing in a young inexperienced player with zero game time... well again, you do it to yourself. For the record, I am pretty much happy with the team as it is with the swap of Paston for Warner and Ifill for Bertos. That team has balance, and will get the job done.

 

Its the 'Lochhead Syndrome'. Last year everyone wanted him dropped cause he was so sh*t. When he was gone, he was really missed. When he got back people marvelled at him and how he made a difference when he just kept doing what he always did. I noticed that the cries for Lochhead to go have started again but the short memories forget what happened last time. It now happening with other players too and hence these far out formation ideas.

You clearly can't see anything other than your own point of view and continue to use veiled insults such as "bring some form of common sense or football intelligence to it" to which I'm not going to rise to.

Getting rid of Bertos and Brown from the starting line up is indeed based on 'current form', and I am a huge fan of Vinnie Lia but would like to see a change in personnel in an away game just to surprise the opposition, hence my lineup. He is still included in the squad and I'd expect him to come on and show what he does every week, but with more impact later in the match, just this once. If he did start though I'd still be happy with that. I'm just having trouble fitting him into the lineup I'd like to see, that's all.

 

I watch all home games at the stadium, then I go home and watch the whole game again a few days later after reading reports and forum comments, then I think about what may and may not work. As things stand right now, the satus quo will not work for us on an away day, so why not try something different? By all accounts they've tried everything else, but not changed tactic or personnel a grteat deal, hence my comments and team selection.

 

One last point, I never suggested anything you say is stupid, everyone is entitlted to their opinion, but am disapointed you seem to think I am and deserving of ridicule. I'd certainly be more interested in your thoughts if they weren't so polarising in a negative way. I'll leave this post for others now.

cheers

 

 

Its not you I am ridiculing but your opinion. You are right that I don't see anything other than my own point of view unless someone has a better one and makes a reasoned argument for it but then you are doing the same thing I am . You seem to take it personally and want to have a 'lets all be friends' summit cause I think your opinion is stupid and call you on it. I never accused you of saying anything I said was stupid but by all means if I put something stupid out there, shoot it down. You wont hear me crying about it.

 

But three days earlier we were pretty good. Was that an aberatio or was Sundays game?

 

We were great against newcastle, good against Adelaide (despite our usual ineptness in front of goal away) and great against Sydney, but there was so little of anything positive in Sunday...

 

However, you add Sunday to 7 away in the last 11 and it's not a good sign.

 

No one at the ground, no one watching is AUs.  If he has a 'mare it will be under the radar.

 

Edit: Ignore. Completely wrong.

ah right... not riduculing me ..but my opinion! Any you are quite right, my opinion is stupid.Of course, silly me.

 

And for the rest of you..... I'd like to see changes because our away form is so poor. With seven games away it's a must in my opinion.That's it in a nutshell. Time for a few changes to see if that will work.

 

 

 

 

 

Or the relative crapness of Leo?
