[hey shorty]

He was tired but he still had an impact. I'd have had them both up top and taken McGree off who looked more than spent.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

McGree was cooked but we didn't have much on the bench to put into midfield.

 

[hey shorty]

Drop O'Doherty back there IMO. Means little now of course but the effort was great to see

 

[Greasyrhys]

Great effort except for the defending. The crowd figure is very concerning however.

 

[hey shorty]

Its concerning but it's what you get when your team is gash, your opponent isn't known by anyone, the tickets are expensive, the game is on a Wednesday night and there's next to no promotion

The perfect storm.

 

[FAITH]

didnt realise we were playing last nit

 

[hey shorty]

And that's what I'm talking about. There wasn't any real effort to promote the game by anyone including Fox. I only realised on Tuesday when I saw the Jeju players in town.

THIS is the biggest failing of the board so far. After last year they expected things to flow on, it doesn't work if you're not willing to put the effort in.

Good game last night, gotta say that I only remembered about the game a few days before also.
McGree and O'Doherty took it up to them pretty well, it's really hard for me to watch Cirio at the moment, I know he scored but he is so far away from what his game has been it's not funny, just really sad.

 

[hey shorty]

I actually think most of Cirio's game is back to what it was, and now he's scored maybe that's the last piece.

His issues are the fact he plays out of position both weeks, including as a striker having it bombed on his head.

 

[hey shorty]

Chelo and Marrone dropped from the squad.

Did we just cut and paste our ACL squad ?? There's a rumour on another forum about Red Bull showing interest in buying our club.......

PLEASE be true

 

[SloaneysDanger]

So Chelo wants out and wants to explore other options in the A-League. Disappointing because I was hoping he'd go back to Argentina after he left here but looks like we might have to play against him, which is not something I wanted.

Do you know something ?? I've not seen he wants out definitely

 

[chazwazza]

Very disappointing if true

Val seems to think Chelo has asked to explore other options. Nothing concrete but he's heard something obviously. Chelo clearly wasn't happy being left out of the ACL squad so that's probably played a big part in him wanting to leave if it's true.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Also, Celtic have been looking at McGree apparently. Wayyyyyyy too early for him to leave IMO but we saw what happened with Mabil

 

[hey shorty]

Of course Chelo has been exploring his options, we haven't put anything in front of him. I do know that his first and second preference is to stay here.

I get the feeling that whether we keep him or not may have something to do with his nationality.

As for McGree, he would be absolutely mad to leave now. Unless he gets loaned straight back here of course. He would know it's still too early but a club that big comes..... it would be hard to refuse

 

[chazwazza]

Good to see Ochieng starting

 

[hey shorty]

Still not sold on him to be honest, plenty of pace and a good eye for goal though. No Isaias again.

Feel good about today actually, maybe it's due to the girls making the Granny. Oar ripped us apart last time so hopefully him missing helps us.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Where the hell is Isa?

 

[hey shorty]

Given he's carried a knee since the early rounds of the season I'm not surprised he's still out.

Honestly, id leave him out and give him the rest of the season off. Not much to be gained.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

I'd rather not finish bottom tbh.

 

[hey shorty]

Well yes I agree with that

 

[SloaneysDanger]

I would be pretty embarrassed finishing below the Mariners.

 

[hey shorty]

At least they've tried the whole season.

 

[chazwazza]

A goal up but playing pretty poor
