Got a feeling Perth is going to have another crap season, Newcastle 2-1

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

If we can't get something in Newcastle against that team then we have problems. 1-1 or 1-0 will do me.

 

[Beetlebum]

We've got a decent enough record in Newcastle so it's not a place to be feared and they're no better than us, at least not on the evidence of last Friday night. A defeat on Sunday puts us behind the 8 ball even early on.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Thwaite and Nagai out. 3 pts to Newcastle.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Thwaite and Nagai out. 3 pts to Newcastle.

Yeah we're really going to miss a lazy headless chicken that never tracks back. Nagai is no super star and we have other wingers that can do the job.

 

[Beetlebum]

Thwaite is the big loss to the team so far this season, he'd be the one to guide O'Neill or keep (at least attempt) Pants in line.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Thwaite is the big loss to the team so far this season, he'd be the one to guide O'Neill or keep (at least attempt) Pants in line.

Our full backs are one of our biggest strengths and both Risdon and Jamo were awful last week so they need to lift. As does Danny. It wasn't just O'Neill and Panto.

 

[Beetlebum]

Let's face it we didn't have too many blokes out there last Sunday who performed at anything near the level they should be capable of.

 

[CakeEater]

0-0 after 73 mins

 

[Jatz]

That was a pretty shit game all in all.

Zadkovich is one of the hardest working midfielders in the game. Not blessed with skill but his workrate is unreal

 

[Beetlebum]

Not the best game of the season but at least we've got a point on the road.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

That was worse than Hitler.

Ryan Edwards. Can he be any more of a lazy ****? How many times did he break and he just casually strolled up without offering any support. McLaren's one on one, what was with that finish. Weak as piss. Zahra was out there yes?

We got a point, that's good but we were second guessing and (again) generally looking like a bunch of bunnies in the headlights. Have to do better.

 

[Beetlebum]

It's going to be a long summer.

 

[JimDocker]

Dreadful game.

My son has been asking me about going to see a Glory game shortly. After watching that, I said to my wife that I would not waste my money.

Jacob Burns is a complete knob. I cannot pay to go and watch a team where this guy is captain. He committed a foul early on yesterday and then spent 2 minutes mouthing off at the ref for giving a free kick. Then for the rest of the game, despite playing pretty well, he fouled, complained, fouled, complained.... Absolute meathead.

Glory very lucky not to concede a penalty too. Got away with one.

 

[lewigie]

How that wasn't a penalty I will never know.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Might be a long season for both teams

 

[Beetlebum]

I'm think it's safe to assume neither Newcastle or us will be challenging for the 6 this season. Unless there is a remarkable turn around most of the rest of the league are better than us...even Welly.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Just read this morning Glory might be about to get Gallas - that could change things for you guys!
