Game over, we can't score two goals from behind. At least there isnt much weekend left to be fudgeed.

Insanity to leave both OVH & Ball out of the squad if they are both fit

It's gonna be debated further for sure if the Nix lose, with 16 yr old Brook Smith on the bench. Would have thought GSR would have been next cab off the rank if not picking the above 2, and Rojas injured.


There’s 4 guys coming off the bench with known quality. And Supyk a bit of an unknown quantity with a year’s extra growth. 

The main issue is a lack of goals, and the debate is whether Ball and Oskar improve that by a tiny bit or a little bit! 

It all feels a bit of a free hit without Rojas. We’re looking for plan C, not A/B.

Not sure we should be looking at it like a free hit. We’ll never progress of the team thinks that. Opportunity for some youngens to step up, lord knows we need them to.
 
I guess I mean expectations. Rojas on I expect us to be up by at least a goal and needing a closer. At which point the closers become important. 

Without Rojas I have no expectations so I feel anything we can get is a bonus.

At least it wasn't just Hughes this time. All three of our CBS fudgeed up that time

If we go four down I'm turning off the tv. At this point I'm only watching to see if we shark the bed less than Auckland.

I can guarantee that Chiefy has absolutely no plan that will score us enough goals for this. We've hardly been prolific as it it.

FFS our defence is all over the place at the momwnt. Players dont look like they know where they are suposed to be. CB slipping were the LB should be, really!?! Then LB way too high up the pitch when Piper loses the ball (I should say gifts the ball) to the opposition. 
Say what you want about D Ball being passed it, he'd be a better option than Corban Piper!

Had to be him.

One of our worst decisions letting him go. One of the most consistent imports in the league and I'd easily a top 10 all time (import) for us.

Seems like huge gaps between CBs? Particularly one new one. Kind of the opposite of last season?

In hindsight now. Should have bought in an experienced visa CB. The kids are making too many mistakes. Costing us big time.

Why we are carrying Ball when we desperately need an import defender is fudgeing stupid

I partially blame the players for not doing what's bveing asked of them - but I aslo put a lot of the blame on Chiefy here - the plan is clearly way to complex to be understood and delivered qucikly and easily - something needs to change urgently as it is pretty clear the players we currently have are not (cannot) deliver the plan.

I think we have to say this team isn’t very good, unfortunately. It’s not working and we don’t have the depth to deal with it. Hope the club are willing to get the cheque book out in Jan…still, plenty of time to be proved wrong. COYN.

And there’s what happens without following the new reffing thing. Rufer tackles, Alex King bails him out because he went to ground. 

Rather have it as it was last week where the players don’t tell the refs when they want fouls.

We will.

Or we'll do route one football to the shortest man on the par.

When will Chiefy learn that a back 5 may work in theory but in practice never really works.

Piper is a donkey and Hughes isn't much better. I don't think it is ideal, I'd rather Payne stayed at RB, but maybe it is time to put Payne back centrally with Wootton and put Sheridan at RB.

I think we simply don't have the players to compete. Our bench is the weakest in the entire comp next to Perth and Brisbane. No manager can overcome such a gap in quality.

Please tell me what is 'complex' about his plan.

He doesn't want to play a back 3. If Rojas was playing, we wouldn't. Why do people not understand this? He's even said it himself.

I don't think Chief's strategy is one that doesn't work. I just think we have players it doesn't work with.

We kinda need a restructure at this point.

Piss off Phil Moss. Barello kicked a player after the ref blew his whistle. That’s a yellow card, not a ficken matey chat.

Moss gets stuck into Rufer. Bellend.

Ok but the back three doesn't work regardless of the fitness of Rojas. It's a shark way to play football.

well, we could try putting a few players up front, and then playing the ball forwards to them. 

But that not a tactic modern coaches like.
