Wanderers Winless Streak Extends To Six

Victory, please don't be those idiots I have seen on twitter. Oh look, 11,000 people = 1/2 fan base are bandwagoners, the muppets that are the loudest are led by Easts flogs, what a surprise.

 

Most of the people commenting have read the bossi article and have taken it as gospel. If the hack bothered to be a journalist & actually looked beneath the surface he'd see there is a lot more wrong than just a crap stadium.

 

There are plenty of issues with SOP that are completely ruining the match day experience, yes the die hards like many on here will turn up no matter what but even then there are those on here that would rather travel to any other game but those at SOP.

 

If die hards like us are asking these questions what are those, what are the casual fans thinking? They go to get the kids out of the house, but would they bother when transport to/from SOP is horrible, police presence is over the top, security are over bearing, pre match drinks venue is horrible, nothing to do post game except leave & at the bottom of that list the ground is poor venue.

 

If spotless was just a poor venue to watch football none of us would have an issue (new ground 3 years) but there is so much going on than that.

Spot on, and to add to that we have zero family friendly fixture times this season. My 6 & 4 year old kids are buggered by half time.

Eggs spot on, they put on a game that finishes at 9pm on a Sunday night. They are worried that the flares are going to make the game anti-family friendly but perhaps they should re-focus the efforts on the fixture list!

Bulut isn't getting the service.

 

Thought we played well overall, as we have for a few matches this season. Just hasn't clicked in the final third.

We were just lucky that last year we gelled much quicker than we did this year.

Second half was good. On another day we would have won comfortably, but the cutting edge wasn't there. Huge improvement on anything else we have produced this season though.

Nico was amazing...they got back in when we tired at the end, but overall a good effort. The back 4 are doing better every game...Tyson's distribution is waaaay better than Redders 

ref had a good game. Scott should be brought in for Bulut imo for the next few games. He seems to move like he knows where to be whereas Bulut is just reacting to what he sees.

Unbeaten at Spotless :-) which could turn into the WSW graveyard :-(

**** first half, excellent second half.

11k - that's what happens when an understrength squad misfires and the first third of the season goes down the toilet. All planned, apparently - apart from the lack of results, of course.

Martinez, Jumpei, Nichols and Bulut have scored two goals between them in - wait! - eight games. Yep.

The Borda-Aspro combo seems to function. Cornflakes will struggle to play another game this season. His lack of pace would have cost us tonight.

How did Santa not score?

Plane ticket for Bruno is edging closer.

Apologies to Martinez - not just an accounting marquee after all, but one of the best players the league has seen.

My goodness, Lustica is slow.

Amazing performance of Pepper. Aloisi is doing good work with him.

Positive is you've got Saturday night against us at ANZ next up - should be a lot better and hopefully nudging 25-30k.

True dat

 

Its way too hard 750 kick off and getting in and out of that place. i have a 5 year old with a season ticket and some games it's just too difficult

 

I'm seriously thinking of not renewing his next year it's just too late for him

I took my kids tonight (as well as my dad).

where I am now, if I went on the roof I'd be able to see anz.

I only just got back here and we left on the whistle.

 

Me myself, it wouldn't stop. But if I had kid members, I'm not doing that with them every week. That's just stupid.

 

Like others have said there is nothing there. When you add no wins there this season as well I'm not surprised people aren't coming.

 

Btw when I booked the tickets there were no empty seats around us, and maybe one or two singles in the entire bay. We could have sat anywhere tonight. The view was shite though.

Glad there are no more Friday night games. Still on the train home now and its 11.20.

More positive news for everyone - no more Spotless until 12th Feb and it's a Sunday afternoon kickoff. Next three home matches are ANZ/ANZ/C'town.

So interested to see how the ANZ crowds go. I think they're going to compensate for the lower Spotless ones.

I thought Bulut is just short on confidence but tonight his positioning was poor for a main striker. Unfortunately he has been as useful to us as Pio. It's a shame but we desperately need a striker with good movement or the season will be gone.

The difference between Pio and Bulut, Pio had scored two goals by Round 8 but Bulut is so passionate.

I thought Baccus when he came on added some energy and helped us transition quicker from our own half into Brisbane's half. But as long as we don't ever play Hamill in defence again, and buy a new striker to combine with Martinez, Jumpei and Nicols, I still hold hope of making the finals.

 

The composure and stability in defence has definitely improved because of Tyson. Not a fan of Borda, but I suppose we will have to live with him.

Positive is you've got Saturday night against us at ANZ next up - should be a lot better and hopefully nudging 25-30k.

Thats some positive thinking mate, let's just focus on the 18,000 members turn up first before we start at looking at 25-30k

 

So much work for the club to do to make the fans/members want to come back

Home game against the mariners in Gosford first....

I don't know why people seem to prefer ANZ it's still in the middle of nowhere, the view is nearly as crap and it is a atmosphere vacuum. As bad as spotless is I marginally prefer it.

Fcb where did your post go, I agreed with most of it?

You think?  I don;t think we'll see much more than we're getting now.  14k tops for Vic and 10k max for Perth.  I may go to the Vic game and try and move.  I don't have great long sight so I can't see the game much at all from where I sit.  Had to watch the Derby on the screen mainly.  May as well just stay home.

 

Dat Dale tonight though.  Great work boys in getting it going.  Always good that we're picked first as guinea pigs.  Worked well upstairs.

 

Clisby was excellent tonight I thought.  Aspro too. Becoming the composed young player we remember when he first came in to the team.  Not sure how Lustica can be so slow and be done by an out on his feet defender in a foot race with two minutes to go when he's just come on.  First half was just awful.  The worst I've seen in a long time.  Second much better.  Bulut is done.

Thank you Boris for the epic ******* Dale.

The thing is just about every game at Spotless we have conceded goals which were really bad defending and we should have never conceded. The silly penalty tonight. The back pass against Mariners. The free kick against Newcastle. Really should have a much better record then we do even though we are undefeated.

 

I think we will get 18k against Victory.

Bulut I think is done, Already the whispers are he'll be out in Jan for Keane and tonight I think confirmed it. Tyson is for sure the starter, if we get Vedran Tyson will stay on and Redmayne will be out the door.

 

We are taking massive strides towards the positive, the wins are coming. I think we'll be right in the mix come the end of the season, not for the plate but I think we'll be in the championship mix.

 

We should have won bar a **** referee call and Theo worldlies. Next week will be our turn.

 

 

8 points out of a possible 24 and some people say we are playing well - just as well we are not

playing badly. Plus 11 points behind our biggest rivals and they have a game in hand.

Sure we had chances but blew them and this problem is so well entrenched it is chronic and the coaching must take the blame.

 

We don't know how to create attacking  space ,  cross properly  or play defence splitting passes. Chronic also are pathetic

set pieces. Even if we had Keane he would have no space or service.

 

They could have won it in the end with Oar. Luckily he missed.

 

Winning is the major key to good crowds , keep this winless run up and crowds will fall below 10,000.

 

Mate you'd complain if you found $100 note down the back of the couch that there wasn't another $10 there

Glad to know you are happy with the results. Idiot.

 

 

So bitter. Don't worry about esfc, we need to improve and our club can control that

 

 

 

Bulut isn't getting the service.

Thought we played well overall, as we have for a few matches this season. Just hasn't clicked in the final third.

Bulut got chances, but the guy is literally right footed and unless it's to his right side he suffers

Don't get excited by that number. How many are you expecting to bring up? ANZ is a pit

Agree with these.

 

Might just have been that we now have better seats, but I thought that, despite a poor crowd, there was a bit more life and atmosphere at Soulless than previously, and there was more confidence in the team than I've sensed in the past.

 

Congrats to the RBB - inspiring as always.

11k would be a good crowd then !!

Did you read any of our posts? ANZ is in the same precinct as Spotless (apologies if you didn't know that). As we have all been saying, it is the precinct as much as the actual ground, in fact more. The odds on 25-30k in two weeks time are exactly zero.

 

I am sorry, I wish your optimism had a basis in reality, but it doesn't.

Totally agree. I will be happy and surprised if we crack 15k against Victory. The atmosphere at ANZ is worse than Soulless

8 points from 8 games and sitting under the Mariners on the ladder. To say this has been underwhelming start to the season would be an understatement... But I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a horror start. That honour clearly goes to Adelaide!

 

As for the action on the pitch, it was all a bit meh. I arrived late but it was decent enough football for the most part, even if the lack of anticipation regarding the short backward pass in midfield was a bit baffling (the players constantly stopped, turned and passed backwards, so why were the receiving players often not ready for such a pass?).

 

As for the stadium, again it's a meh. I can see why it's a good ground for GWS, and coming up from Canberra (where we really have a stadium win no nearby amenities!) I think the offerings at Olympic Park are reasonable compared to past years, though nothing like Parra, of course.

 

Anyway, I think that is about all I want to type at this time of night.

 

Edit: one more thing... I still find the RBB repetitive, but the friendly competition and variety from the WST has created a better overall atmosphere as far as I'm concerned.
