Jaushua Sotirio

Just a quick note that he's stayed on in Melbourne after the weekend's game and is debuting in Race one at Flemington 

Does he have to go around a turn or is it just a straight shot?

I think that means something else in horse racing.

Race 1 was 1000m, I think that's about as short as they get. So, as close to straight with no bend as they get. 

Btw, he didn't even get a place!

Suffice to say he struggled to make an impact.....

2 year extension at the nix! 

Hattrick against us coming up.

He’s really no worse than Yeboah 

Talay has done a pretty good job with Sotirio. He looks much more dangerous than he did with us.

I disagree, Sotirio has been used to limited effect at Wellington but you’ll find that (1) He doesn’t get stick for being someone he isn’t (2) Used in a role that maximizes his strengths (3) Always does his defensive work, no matter if it’s the 5 or 95th minute

Take his role against us for example, Sotirio spent most of his time pushing high up the field & forcing our wing backs to push back turning our 3-4-3 into a 5-4-1. He didn’t do much with the ball but didn’t need to, with the score at 1-0, he got subbed at half time because Talay knew that we would need to chase the game & open our already leaky defense.

I’m just glad for him, playing for a team that don’t expect him to be something that he isn’t.

We’ve never been easy on him, even when times were good

He can't even dribble properly when no-one is near him. What have our training staff been doing with him for 4 years? Three touches not even at a high speed and he can't control the ball. Why is a player like that kept in the side? Gombau needs to get rid of him.

For anyone who needs reminders why he kept getting **** put on him.

When times were good generally he wasn't in the starting line-up

back of the net 

That’s exactly the sort of clinical finishing Sotirio lacks 

Off to Newcastle according the commentary tonight.

What a shame, I was hoping he'll be off to Cyprus United...aka, Stanmore Hawks.

He can't do that, he's a FC Five Dock mam

Confirmed to the Jets. Two year contract.

And gone. Off to "somewhere in Asia", a year early on his contract.

when none of the A-League clubs want you, always go to plan B.

India

If they play him up front running in behind he'll probably score 20 if he doesn't have to dribble before shooting.

Even his beloved Stanmore Hawks wouldn't want him which are currently sitting 14th out of 15th in the NSW NPL League Two division. 

The Five Dock Neymar 

And he's injured...apparently

Would it be in poor taste to make a Patella Blasters joke here?
