Popular Post colhil Posted February 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2019 Am home and dry with a strong drink and a keyboard.....I know this is a rant, but if you care deeply about something you cannot standby and watch it slowly die. I went early tonight to watch the Y League GF and watched a team that tried hard but unfortunately was outclassed on the night. Well done boys on a fine season, the first team could learn a lot from you. As for the the first team.... Newcastle had scored fewer goals than anyone this season so I was hopeful. All I witnessed was a 7th straight loss at home and the worst performance I have ever seen from the club I love. I cannot comment on the 2nd half as I was on the train home...but the first half was a disgrace. That is the first time I have ever left at half time, despite threatening to do so before. It was without doubt the most insipid, gutless and clueless performance I have seen in my 7 years as a Wanderers member. In my somewhat educated footballing opinion Roly and Bachus were the only ones having a go. Everybody else should hang their heads in shame. The atmosphere tonight was more funeral than football. God only knows how many ESFC, the Tards and the Glory will score against us As for the management.... The club is rotten from the the head down. Mr Lederer please walk away, and take all your mates with you. In 4 seasons under your watch we have gone from Asian Champions to the joke of the league. The track record under your ownership is pathetic. We have gotten progressively worse every year under your regime. Poor coaching appointments, even worse recruiting, allowing our best assts to leave or selling them and the shameful treatment of our most passionate fans is a reflection of your lack of understanding of football. You make Mike Ashley, Ellis Short and Ken Anderson look like gods. Large corporations in our situation restructure from the top down. Now is the time to start, with yourself at the head of the queue. I see the crowd posted was marginally over 7000 again. BULLS**T, lucky to have been 4000 and I reckon half of them were there for for the Y League game. Earlier in the week I posted that we as fans should NEVER GIVE UP. I still feel the same way. I feel much better now, and have talked the better half into attending next week against Mariners. She has concerns for my safety if I go on my own again. SBW, GunnerWanderer, Swanderer and 19 others 22 Link to comment
WSWJACK Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Ashamed to admit it, as i never leave before final whistle but i turned for the exit at 0 - 5, told my son "let's go , have had enough of this ****, if they don't care i don't care", showing my age here but thought our back five were the Keystone cops in football shirts, by christ the way the Jets front line walked through us tonight, and to rub in salt there was Topor Stanley marshaling their defence showing us how it's done, by f***ity **** **** i'm off to bed, the cull must begin soon ,,,,please. sonar, 102megan, mack and 9 others 12 Link to comment

Taurus Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Well I enjoyed that outing. Two splendid games of football, 10 goals in all (8 conceded) & plenty of memorable moments. I'll be back next Saturday at Soulless to watch our highly anticipated clash with the Mariners. We could potentially set a new record for the most losses 7 (seven) in a row at home next weekend.

WHACKO Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Whatever Wanderers coach Marcus Babbel said at half-time either fell on deaf ears or simply made things worse. Shortly after the restart, the Jets began embarrassing the Wanderers. A looping cross from Petratos wasn't held by Janjetovic and fell to Matthew Ridenton at the far post. From an acute angle, the Jets midfielder squeezed in the fourth of the night. The trouble is they can't understand what he is saying. They need to download the app. Learn German with Babbel The fun and easy way to learn German online. I'm a beginnerI'm advanced GunnerWanderer, sonar and btron3000 3 Link to comment
LetsPele Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 3 hours ago, GunnerWanderer said: Babbel look shellshocked in the fox interview, claimed the players are not that good and aren’t listening to game plan. Claims there is a generational problem and the players don’t know what it is to lose 5-1 - suggesting they don’t really hurt interesting comments think I’ll take this to the coaches thread Post game interviewer should have asked Babbel: how much responsibility do you take as manager for these losses? Newcastle aren't a great team. They had a -8 goal difference before playing us tonight, they play a simple, straightforward, no frills counter attack style game, merrick knows his team's limitations and attempts to play to their strengths... Our back 4 aren't strong, but playing an expansive game makes them even more vulnerable, the first thing Babbel needs to do is focus on our defensive frailties, play a more compact defensive style of football, simplify roles and responsibilities, and demand more of each player defensively particularly when the opposition is in our final third... we simply should not be leaking goals EVERY SINGLE FRICKEN GAME!!! Babbel doesn't seem to have any idea how to stop the leakseven... And to blame the players for all of it is a heap of bullsh*te and a complete cop out on his part... Just look at the roster of most of the other teams in the league... There's no way we should be getting beat so easily... and a good manager should be able to fix that... Babble hasn't demonstrated he's a good manager for mine... not yet at least... wendybr, meryn, matty and 4 others 7 Link to comment
StringerBellend Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Stating the obvious here the team is weak thru the middle. In any level of football the first thing is to make sure you have a decent spine. GK, CB, Midfield. The good teams we have had did that Covic, NTS/Beachamp, La Rocco/ poljak ono Tonight it was, Vedran, with Hammil (gives the ball away for the first goal), Elrich (poor guy is out of position), with two kids in front. How much is that on Babbel? there isn’t much other choice in the squad, he was given, just kids. Ziegler has been out injured more often than not, Mahazi was a last minute panic in Jan he brought in two wingers, both big upgrades on what we had but neither fixing the core problem. The only change we made in core was to offload a CB lloydy136, jockman, andypk and 6 others 9 Link to comment
StringerBellend Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) as for our old mate Gumby. He was given a more experienced spine (cornthwaite, thwaite, herd, big Baccus) which fell apart on him. Why? Depending on your view (and hashtag) it’s some sort of combination of them being past it / not arsed and his mismanagement (let’s play a kamikaze high line) would he have fixed it this year? Who knows? his recruitment (of players Babbel now has) suggests not Edited February 1, 2019 by StringerBellend Potkorok and Carns 2 Link to comment

Was hoping with record breaking loss, media, papers, commentators, would start applying some pressure to the owners/ceo. This is embarrassing. Shockingly bad. I don’t know what else to say. Maybe a protest outside spotless next Saturday before the game? No one goes in. No one. We need to do something, the owners have shown they won’t In the majority of situations i reckon if someting is built to be the breaking point or seen as the final straw then you see a reaction and they actually win. A good few times following the Boro we have been in this kind of situation and revolution from the stands was in the air....but averted at the last..that is usually the way in my experience.... So..lets heap some pressure on...make the game against supposedly the worst team in the comp this seasons line in the sand...pile the pressure on Babbel...because quite frankly i dont know what else to suggest as a supporter sitting through this shite. The season is over but could we say next weekend is a must win? That is the kind of demand Boro fans make loud and clear...and as i say, we usually get a reaction when a certain point is reached by the fans....

The only protest that the suits who own the club would understand is one that involves money......ie,,,,,,one that costs them paying out some more. Apart from people throwing in their memberships en masse I can't see what else would work. I'd hate to see our fans throw it in but some people may do so. Attendence figures should tell the club something......but fewer membership numbers might make them inclined to act. Edited February 1, 2019 by sonar alexd and Smoggy 2 Link to comment

ZachMercer Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 What's the go with Llorente? He was ace when he first joined. Suddenly he can't tackle, get back, position himself or cross. Does he have an identical twin brother called Juan that can't play and is filling in for him. Hammil is a big dumb pretty schoolboy. When he talks the club looks dumber. Doesn't lead and shouldn't captain a tinny. Risdon appears to be going down easy these days. I think if your injured its harder to be held accountable and ensure you get a ticket to europe. Prob slot ABJ in there. Reira gets mad at everything but it hasn't quite clicked that he's old and slow and can only score with his head. It's called football not headball so he might need to join a hackee-sack team next year. jockman, DinoPresinger, Smoggy and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment
Wobblies Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Don't panic everybody help is at hand. Starting next home game the Club has announced that "The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Supporters" (SPCS) will be at ANZ. Also Foxtel will put up warning signs when broadcasting Wanderers games: "Confronting images ahead" and if you listen to the commentary they will become excruciating.

scarcev Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 We conceded 5 but with Vedran, Hamill, Elrich, Llorente, Risdon in the back 4 there's a guaranteed 3 goals and Tokich giving away two pens there's your 5 but what really pisses me off is we have Suman on the bench all game and bring Russell on when the game is over why werent both these kids either playing from the start of the game or if not playing they should of been playing in the NYL Grand Final.

westofcentre Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 You know what you guys are right. I grew up in an era where if fans protested it actually meant something. Clubs were community based and players bled for the shirt. If the community was upset the players would react. It was an era where players could walk down the street and be treated to free lunches by grateful fans from the community they represented. Now as people rightly pointed out the best way to protest is not to renew membership or to put pressure through the media cos the only thing the suits will listen to these days is anything that impacts the bottom line or their image in front of sponsors. That letter written by Lederer to the fans. That wasn't really to the fans. It was like a CEO addressing shareholders in a Company. It was to the sponsors. It's all about brand and metrics. Where is the care factor for the fans? This game has become so foreign to me (and many others) and more so is not even interested in people like me anymore.
