Just misuser in his last season at Southend playing lone 9 or on the wing. This SHOULD mean muller to the LW and Duke to 9 alexd, blameturner and Paul01 3 Link to comment

I was skeptical of him at the start of the season but there really aren’t many replacement options for wingers if Kamau moves on. Unless of course Troisi drops his pants on price. The other big problem we have now is only one wingback. Surely we have a signing lined up if Elrich has left us Nathan Burns lol, Just what we need a striker who hasn't scored a goal in... nearly 4 years? Link to comment

Last season we had 50 crap wingers. this season we have no actual wingers bar Muller whos been in the mids and Kamau whos been god knows. And we have Duke, Yeboah, Adam and now Cox for ST, who supposedly is more of a AM. Which i hope he is by all means. Duke would do the job IMO. We need more goals and goal scorers in general rather then one dude scoring all 20 of our goals whilst we win the spoon. matty, jockman and wendybr 3 Link to comment
theseeker Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 So Elrich is gone and no replacement , what have we got Tate Russel who is a nice kid but IMO not a realistic permanent solution as he is nowhere near ready yet.. Opposition coaches will target him and it could be very ugly. What's going on ? Baumjohann was not retained in the "Team without a Midfield". He was slagged on here but the problem was he was not managed properly. Now he's killing it at Smurfs. Got sent off but didn't matter , tore Victory apart. Cox is being looked at on here as the Messiah , he's not he just a little bit above average A league IMO. Just another point on Babbel's farewell video. Shouldn't have been allowed to happen. The unwritten rule is when you are sacked or made redundant you have a few quiet drinks with selected staff , pickup up your payout cheque and piss off. Club left itself open to further ridicule and if we haven't copped enough humiliation. wendybr, jockman and Zakman 2 1 Link to comment

Interesting take on it. cant say I agree one bit - just because two parties don’t have a successful relationship doesn’t mean they have to immediately distance themselves I thought the video was a nice touch from babbel and also from the club, we are critical of them of many thing - this for me was a classy act. finally I think you will find many people have praised the way this has been handled sonar, Carns, Edinburgh and 4 others 7 Link to comment

MajorMelons Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) If Cox is mainly a 10, why is he showing as a striker here?: https://www.transfermarkt.com/simon-cox/profil/spieler/37150 Edit: I used the filter on that site to sift through his playing history. It shows that he played attacking midfield 3 times, and striker 273 times, unless I am using it incorrectly ...? Edited January 26, 2020 by MajorMelons Link to comment

Erebus Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 People also are taking basic Google translate as a word for word account of what he said.

As much as we like our competition you have to acknowledge that the skill level at times is so so. Sure... But in that German interview, he seemed to be emphasising how everything was "poor" or "bad" here.....and blame shifting again. Of course, if he wants to manage anything in Europe, he isnt going to say "Well I didnt know what I was doing"...which seems quite a widespread judgement of his time time?? But Lucy's point, apparently, was that he didnt have to trash the A League in the process of departing. Again...I didnt see what she said, and was only told about it, but it accorded with my observation of that interview when I read it here. sonar 1 Link to comment

Noone would realistically compare them! Call it "developing" rather than poor...don't trash it. He certainly didn't bring a thing to improve it's quality...and that hasn't been the case with other managers around the A League. PS I think the teacher in me is coming to the fore. We cant ever say what we really think, say in reports, and have to use euphemisms. Which suits me, but would give more "say it as it is" types the sh.its, I'm sure. I'll see myself out now. sonar 1 Link to comment

Apart from us n Adelaide Aussie teams have barely got to the round of 16. Even the all conquering Smurfs from a few seasons back did fuuck all in Asia.
