Campbelltown Cruising

 

Season starts now! 

You're posting that in the wrong type of match thread       

 

What next, Piovaccari hat-trick in the W-League threads?         

 

Look, I'm sunburnt and tired - leave me alone.  

Yep.

 

Baccus was receiving the ball and looking to pass or dribble forwards. Made a big difference.

 

Also I am developing something of a man crush on cornflakes (no homo). If popa puts borda back in after his suspension I may morph into a full foaming at the mouth popa out facebook ranting mentalist.

We need to appeal Borda's suspension. Ask whether 3 games was a bit lenient.

 

Missed it being away on hols but followed on ABC radio. Terrible commentary. The text is better.

There was more than 10'000 there I assure you.

 

Today was case in point that we need to do what we can to get the hell out of that deal with Spotless. If we must stay at ANZ for the big games fine. But otherwise take it around to C'town & Penrith or stick at one or the other. 

 

It had a Parra-esque feel about it today. No surprise we broke our home hoodoo, **** me I'll help build the stadium for free if it means we get back there quicker.

 

Everyone get a shovel and hard hat, we're westies we could have this **** built in a week

True,  but it could be a bit "How yer goin'.."

Great place to watch football, even with the sun toasting us. ANZ and Spotless will feel even more like graveyards now. Had a wander down to the family end towards half time and what was really noticeable was the amount of chat from Vedran. Good prove a pivotal signing if he can keep going like this.

 

Solid win and badly needed. Baccua should be thinkers Ng about a move to the NRL. A game where passing forwards isn't allowed would be right up his alley. FMD he is hard to watch.

The best thing about today was that this was a win built on foundations of our youth team - Sotirio, baccus (npl more than youth I know), aspro, Scott.

 

Good stuff.

This...Aspro and Baccus had fantastic games. I'd say Baccus was best on park.

 

Yes great to see. Gunner Jnr inducted 3 of his mates to RBB they loved it. 

As others have said it shits all over SOP. Imagine that ground filled with 15K you would get an atmosphere like Parra. 

 

The best thing about today was the fact Jets never look like scoring and for the first time I actually felt confident from the moment i woke up to the end of the 90th minute.

We so need to beat the Roar and build come confidence. 

If we play a game at Campbelltown that is part of people's memberships, I have no doubt we would draw as many as we do at Spotless.

 

Great to finally get a home win.

Hawkesbury radio, trust me. They **** on 90% of the callers out there

something i am happy with there were 3 players i kept giving crap but all of them had great matches, i am not saying they read the forum and wanted to have great matches to prove me wrong but i am willing to claim credit

Campbelltown should have been our home ground for the three years, it would enhance our status in the SW, no other teams play there(often) and it has that nice home ground feel to it.

100m from a railway station is an awesome location for some

that is true but for matches that end around 10 pm there is no way in hell i would be able to make it home till about 3 am or so

A stadium with less than ten thousand seats probably isn't a good home stadium for us...

i didnt realise it had such a small capacity

its a great stadium and there should be an A-league team based there (that isn't us)

Where do you live broken hill?

It was a ******* hot afternoon.

 

WTF was with bottles with no caps. ******* "council" restrictions and some bullshit about avoiding bottles thrown. Yeah, because we're going to ping FULL BOTTLES of cold water on a 35 degree day.

Drumming was tough. I tore my drum head (no, not a metaphor, actual drum head).

 

Oh yeah, good win.

I know it's not the fault of the staff regarding the bottle lids, but geez, where is all this politically correct safety **** going to end?

I gave one woman a serve because I was pissed off about it. First time I've ever heard of it.

Ending up telling her to keep the ******* cap. I'll just throw the bottle without one. 

Dickheads.

 

Oh, and great work La Banda and RBB. they were trying conditions. I was at the back.

That is ridiculous.

Walked in with our own water and no questions ( or a bag check for that matter). Otherwise just bought beer - full strength in a can !!  That's a can - which I could squash into a nice solid disc and use as a missile!! Go figure?

Campbelltown Stadium should of been our replacement for the time being while Parramatta Stadium (aka West Sydney Stadium) is being rebuilt.

 

I'm happy with the result we had. The team was due for a win and a well deserved one.

Next time slip a bottle cap into your pocket before leaving home.  Shouldn't have to but............

It finally felt like game day again with a suburban football ground, close to the field and great atmosphere. Personally I'd rather the 9500 at Campbelltown every week than 12-14k at Spotless.

 

Great to see Scott bag a goal, he finally got decent service and he made it count. Sitirio has earned his starting position over Jumpei, he's defensive work rate is needed and he has finally made some decent decisions to run forward at the defenders. Popa needs to stop playing this possession based game, I'd rather lose a game going forward in attempt to score than play the ball backwards for 80% of the game only to lose it in the midfield.

 

Anyone else starting to really get frustrated with Nichols? The dude is yelling at everyone, he continues to take players positions, turn over possession and is offering no value to the forward play. I think he's becoming toxic for the side.

He should move to Canberra, he'll get home at about 12:30-1am and save time.

I wouldn't say toxic, but I have been surprised that everyone's been saying that he is one of the few players they'd definitely re-sign. He's been struggling this year with confidence and decision-making and he has been starting to show his frustration by blaming others when he doesn't get the ball where he wants it.

 

I think Mitch has always needed quality players moving around him to help create space,he doesn't create from nothing. I don't think he's gelled with Nico like he did with Bridge etc.

 

But I also think that he, like the team, is starting to look better.

So we've got three wins against the worst three teams in the league.

 

I'm happy about the win, but not over the moon. I remember after beating the Mariners that we'd be brought back down to earth the following week... then Victory put three past us.

 

Until we take down a big team I'm convinced this is as good as the team is going to get this year. Competitive against the lower teams but lacking the grit to battle amongst the top dogs.

 

Feels like a "too little too late" situation, the defence and keeper situation appears to have been cemented, but over half way through the season we are now finding ourselves playing a game of catchup when it should have been sorted from the get go due to some poor recruitment. Positive signs nonetheless, a few adjustments in the off season with Risdon and some new attacking players and we're looking very good next year.

 

Praying we can build upon the positive foundations we have laid this season for next year without enduring another annual cleanout.

 

Brisbane will show us exactly how we are really travelling.

I think Mitch has been below his standard this season. It doesn't make him a bad player just not as good as last season.
