Redmayne Hands Jets Point

There were moments in the first half when we "owned" the Jets.Beautiful passing movements,great positional play,tough defending,we just needed to finish them off with the chances that we had but we didn't.I don't know what happened at half time but it was like a different team came out for the second half.

We have shown in glimpses that we will be competitive with the best this year,the team just needs to do it for 90mins,not 45.

There seems to be a lack of "shoot *****" happening again. yes, they are playing nice possession football, but I think there's a little too much "put-in-the-last-killer-pass" rather than just blasting a few and testing the other keeper.

 

Having said that, Redmayne is still awful.

 

 

Bulut is NPL quality.

 

There, I said it.

 

to be fair,he was "monstered" by Newcastle on several occasions and should of been given free kicks but wasn't,the ref most probably would of let them get away with murder against him.

 

 

He is always playing for a free kick and appears to be "monstered" because he can't play with his back to goal, his first touch is horrendous, he has no passing game, his vision and awareness when dribbling the ball is non existent, his dribbling skills are non existent, and the runs he makes off the ball and the channels he operates in are less effective than Andrew Redmayne setting up the wall in the right spot.

 

Bulut is passionate and he loves the club. But that's not enough.

 

He reminds me of Roberto Soldado at Spurs. He just isn't good enough.

 

 

When you get shirt grabbed from behind and get dragged to the ground that should be a free kick,This happened to him on quite a few occasions and no free kicks were awarded.He is not to blame for us not scoring a million goals and beating everyone by 200-0.

Well, that's true.

 

No way is Redmayne keeping a clean sheet.

 

Thought similar about ref, 2nd goal started from break on halfway which looked like a foul

They kicked Bulut over all game and he basically got nothing, although his yellow card tackle was funny

 

You could see his yellow coming from the moment he ran across the pitch. As he was running I was thinking yellow or red. He's was going to nail their right back no matter what.

Yes it was stupid from Bulut but it came down to a pathetic call from Beath. Had he rightly given a yellow card for the chop on Bulut then there wouldn't be any issue. If you get chopped in half from a bad foul with no card, then I have no issue with Bulut doing the exact same thing expecting the same punishment. **** refereeing.

Speaking of Hamill, why was he subbed on? Was someone worried about injury, or just worn out? Seemed an odd substitute.

It all seemed a bit suspect to me, it was Clisby who went down after the kamikaze tackle by Redmayne but no medical staff went on the field. In fact I think it was Baccus who had to alert the coaching staff that Clisby was down, to stop the substitution from happening.

 

But, Clisby wasn't limping or nobody went to stretch out hamstrings/calves like if somebody has a cramp. Maybe he just had nothing in the tank?

WAtching the replay... 

 

Borda is hella slow.. got beaten for pace all night. 

Baccus is improving.

Bulut needs to drop this whole 'nice effort guys! Next time!   ' attitude and just be a c u next tuesday. haha.. but srs.

Nichols is killing himself out there for the whole 90+.. I really hope he gets rewarded soon. 

Correct . Borda is slow, that's why he's had a career predominantly in spanish 3rd tier. Unbelievable how we signed him for 2 years.

 

Bulut - he is not the player he was when he left here. A year of being with a shite team in Greece will do that to you.

 

The midfield spot next to dimas will be a battle between Bacchus and melling. I expect melling to eventually win out

 

King mitch - one of the classiest players in the league. Everything we create has his hand in there somewhere

I said to my son at the game on Sunday "Bulut has the sensitive touch of a Donald Trump".

 

He has passion, but some of his play is U10s.

I so want him to do well so I can tell myself to get f......

 

But it's looking the same as Pio. 

One thing I would like to point out is... How good is Clisby he ran himself to the ground, could of scored a few in the first half and I don't remember him ever playing that good when he was at city.

Clisby owns that spot now

 

I am not sure why everyone is expecting Bulut to score a truckload of goals. Under Popa we have never had a prolific goalscorer. If he gets anywhere around 10-14 goals that will be a decent return. As a team we have never relied on one single player. We need a few players to chip in some goals to have a good season.

Because the man himself set a benchmark of 15-20 goals for this season.

 

Did he really set it himself or did the club , could be the 15 goals triggers a bonus payment or

promise of another contract.

He set it himself.

Who does the ******* scouting , why the hell would be sign a visa centre back with the pace of a donkey. He's good in the air I'll give him that.

 

Seriously can't believe Pinatares is already getting the treatment after 1 game. Whaaaaa

I so want him to do well so I can tell myself to get f......

Bulut needed to take that Penna in my opinion. As soon as it was given he should have got hold of the ball and not let it go lol Goals create confidence and change mind sets. He could have missed of course, but we will never know.

Hi Guys, first timer here, used to reading this site thought I would join in at last.

Earlier in thread there was mention of other goalies out there, chuck one in; Mark Birighetti currently at Swansea but fourth choice, and probably will not be there much longer now that Guidoilin (Udinese link) has been moved on.

Anybody rate him?, think he is a decent shot stopper and punches out his six yard area well enough.

Welcome to the forum, Jack. Birighitti has been suggested by a number of forumites, myself included.

 

We can hope that he would prefer to be starting than riding the pine in Wales, but the theory is he may not be ready to come back yet (with his tail between his legs). He's already failed once in Italy, might want to stick it out for longer. We live in hope though, he's arguably the best A-league level keeper in his age bracket.

Clisby owns that spot now

 

Just needs to be careful not to get too narrow as he did in the second half on Sunday.  It gave the winger the angle to put the ball in behind him with our DM's failing to track the running midfielder.  But yeah, he's really taken the bull by the horns with his chance.  Good to see.  He certainly leaves nothing in the locker.

 

Did anyone notice Mitch limping badly right at the end?  Either cramped up or pulled a muscle in injury time.  Hopefully nothing,

 

 

You are joking about Redmayne's distribution right ? It's woeful and everytime there's a backpass the

stadium holds it's collective breath anticipating he will stuff up. Anyway forgot about distribution

I just want a keeper that can catch the ball. Not much to ask really. Over to our famed coaches.

Our famed goalkeeping coach, Butterfingers Kalac, couldn't catch the ball when he was between the sticks so any hope of a solution coming from that source could be somewhat misplaced!

the 2006 Croatia game yeh.... man if I were kalac id be shitting my pants too

Everyone remembers that one but he had many more howlers than that classic. He was particularly hopeless with crosses, even the floaty ones. It seemed the longer the ball was in the air the more jittery he (and we) became.

It looked as though it was a groin muscle. Hope not. Those injuries can drag on for ages.

I thought Clisby went off with a groin injury?

welcome to the forum i completely agree , Clisby has really impressed me

I thought Clisby went off with a groin injury?

 

He may have, but I thought I also saw Nicholls holding his groin towards the end of the match.

I can't believe how slow Borda is for a visa centre back. NTS could give him a start and still run him down. Worrying when we seem to be getting caught out by runs in behind as we did against Sydney. Teams like Glory and City will love that lack of pace

 

That and there are some natural predators going around, Fornaroli, Cahill, Keogh, Bobo, Berisha. We've never really had one of those instinctive finishers... 

 

I was parked right outside Primo on Carter Street, felt like asking Paul to splash out for a finisher. He probably reckons a finisher is a cold beer to wash down a Wanderdog.

You saw Nicholls holding Clisby's groin?

 

This team is REALLY close.

It was just like this

 

 

Side note. Isnt andrew hoole just a little ****.

He thinks after 1 season at Easts he is king ****, no, just no. There is a reason he is back at Newcastle.

Hamil's fault he is a ribbish back? Not clear enough after FFA Cup and derby? Not for the man who put him there at the end and in those couple of minutes proved again.

Serious? He came on because Clisby was injured & as a CB did fine at LB. He was a straight swap & did nothing wrong.

I know Clisby got injured but putting a guy in a position you know will cough goals isn't good enough. Change the formation based on the players you have. Hamil isn't a LB.

 

I'll have to watch the match again but Hamil was with the ball at half way and no left foot cut inside after dwelling on the ball and played it across the park to a Jets player. I just can't remeber if the went on to be the free kick or not.

 

But surely, after the amount of goals we are coping of late, you can't be sticking up for this defence.

 

So easy to blame just the players, but apparently no one else at the club makes mistakes.

Yeah it's kind of been overlooked a bit, but we continued to push forward even when holding on to a 2-1 lead with less than 10 minutes to go. I'm surprised riva isn't blowing up about it!

 

I noticed just after their first goal that we lost the ball and Clisby was well up the park. He had to turn and race back. I said to Luisenrique at the time "why the hell is the left back so far upfield?" 

 

Then when Jumpei loses the ball and it gets knocked beyond the LB position again, Redmayne thought - incorrectly - that he had to be the sweeper.

 

I understand we want to promote this passing game and so you need people in decent attacking positions to do it, but there is a time and a place to keep men behind the ball. There is no embarrassment holding on for a win. 

 

The weird part is, towards the end we weren't really doing anything of note with the ball. So we had guys in bad positions to cover fast transitions from Newcastle, yet we didn't put any pressure on their defence.

Bulut needs to stay central. Our wings already get clogged by fullback, winger and midfielders.

He is going wide due to the lack of service.

I have seen better situational tactical nous from pub teams. Sick and tired of going on about it.
