Keithie Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 Brisbane roar are a poor poor soccer team , WSW allowed them to look far better than what they are and WSW showed exactly the same form as every game this season, there was nothing new tonight. The A-League as a high level competition is rooted , the referees are of the lowest quality and are incapable of making correct decisions , except the imported Iranian I think he is. The management of the league have been a disgrace and we are in Competition where the cheating of the salary cap is obvious to everybody re Sydney FC and they will continue to dominate this league while they are allowed to continually cheat the system , and this issue is publicly spoken about , ask Robbie Fowler. I am out , apart from the normal poor performance , our 7 Seats in Bay 214 were taken over by people with buy the tickets at the gate, , screaming kids , kids kicking the seats continually. the 3 seats behind us are part of the group and those 3 members did not come to the game tonight but a couple of family's with 3 kids turned up taking the seats including our groups and proceeded to create havoc. There is no attendants on the entrance to bay 14 and have not had any at all games this season, so the people just come as they please and sit any where , , enough for me , Good Bye to a club destined to be a bottom feeder for the future with current structure of the club. WSW have had their glory and they are living in the past and looking at some of the juniors coming through from the tin shed and I have not seen one that is going to set the world on fire , they are nothing better than journey man , and we have plenty of those on display in the A-league currently. what a sad decline this is 3 years in a row as bottom feeders RIP Zakman and jockman 2

WHACKO Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 13 minutes ago, WSWJACK said: While we are at it, when Baccus and Schweigler back would you keep Ziegler in DM alongside PS or drop him back to defence? or to bench? thought first half he was doing okay then the collective were not performing to their abilities second period, believe he is a better DM than centre half myself. I think what is most concerning is what we do with Meier. He's not a Centre Forward for mine especially how we play. We have trouble getting the ball to him and he moves like a cruise liner. I don't understand Babbel's positioning selection tonight of Muller being dropped further back we last we he had one of his best games playing up front, he's not a midfielder for mine. Also Adam on the wing when he played well last week as a striker. Why weaken more positions than you have to. jockman, sonar and wendybr 3

hawks2767 Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 First home match I've managed to get to, bumped into 2 german guys here on holidays who'd come to see our guys. Mentioned Muller is the one to watch, Meier is a dissapointment and I can't make up my mind about Ziegler. They knew who Schwegler was though. As for this match, roar were woeful and we still found a way to lose, well done. ESFC fans out in force mashing their keyboards too, the obsession is disturbing. jockman, Paul01, dodson and 2 others 5

I have to agree, the referees are of such a low standard (apart from 1). It is obvious that certain teams are cheating the salary cap which makes the league unbalanced.

Generator Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 On the team: There were parts that were ok, like the team-based attacks in the early part of the first half. Then there parts that weren’t so good, which are probably too numerous to list. Every game is the same; not terrible, but not good. If only the team could pool the good from all their games and ditch the bad... Surely we’re owed a performance like that at some point, right? On the refereeing and the A-League in general: I’m pretty much over it. The inconsistencies from match to match and week to are doing my head in. I think I’ll stick primarily with the W-League for the foreseeable future; the standard of referring is a little better (well, they don’t blow the whistle as much, at least) plus they don’t have to worry about the VAR. I’ll go to the derby at Kogarah Oval (I used my old man’s ESFC membership to get good, discounted seats in the shade, plus I want to see a good team play), but that’s probably it for me in terms of live games. I’ll otherwise stick with Kayo and, if I’m motivated, will continue to whinge here on the forum 🙂. tardotz, EmMac, jockman and 2 others 5

Hughesy Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 Klopp and Guardiola could’ve both managed in partnership tonight and we still would’ve lost. The players need to pull their finger out because that was one of the most piss-poor efforts I’ve seen from a WSW side. Our central defence is woeful. McGowan is too slow and Jurman is frequently walking or being generally lazy - meanwhile Ziegler was more interested in whinging to the ref every chance he got. He’s not even that good anyway, people declared him the second coming and he’s been no better than any other local centre half around the league. The 3 of them were like statues when Brisbane attacked with any pace up the middle. For three tall blokes, I reckon they would’ve been lucky to even contest, let alone win, 30-40% of the aerial encounters and balls into the box. Most of the time they’d wait to see what sort of nod on a Brisbane player would get before reacting. Little intensity going into tackles and 50/50’s, diving in rather than holding the attacker and going to ground when they got caught out. To cap it all off, we once again conceded due to ball watching on the far post. I keep banging on about it but our strength and conditioning appears very underdone to me. We came out of the gates strong and within 20 mins looked like we could barely keep up an intensity which, lets be honest, was nothing special. Compare that to Sydney who kicked up a gear when going a man down last weekend. We’re not even in the same ballpark in regards to conditioning (or performance). Big questions need to be asked about this imo. I’ve come away disappointed from many WSW games but it’s rare I come away annoyed and feeling like I’ve been taken the piss out of for attending. That was pathetic. For me, tonight’s display is second only to the abysmal display in that 5-0 derby massacre. Georgevski and perhaps Duke were the only ones out there who looked like they gave a ****. The rest of them looked like they would rather be anywhere else. All this talk about Babel is disguising some very ordinary individual efforts over the past month. The players let their manager down tonight big time. Embarrassing.

I can agree with some of what you're saying here, the comments about us winning the league were coming thick and fast from some corners, but it's not looking too crash hot now. Pre-season was the key for me, we didn't show anything to warrant these wild predictions. We'll miss finals this season, another big clean out is coming, next season will be a write-off due to the rebuild so maybe the season after that we're in with a shot.

Neverbloom Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 if you think about it we got the moral victory.........so how many points do we get for that?
WSWJACK Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 no more north european based footballers, euro leagues are winter and generally cold played on soft pitches, being mentioned a few times on this forum. look at the temperatures of the last couple of games a young fit footballer would need to be in good condition to last an Australian season on hard pitches, let alone a 30 something from north euro leagues. have to go back to basics somewhat, bring on the youngsters local and inject quality from hot countries only, obviously targeting and identifying that special talent is in itself a skilled discipline, might be rehashing older posts here but it sounds sensible as I'm typing it out. change is a coming sadly, it has to or WSW will be left standing still or worse. sonar and wendybr 2

You don't need to apologise! I've been called worse 😂 I'm personally pretty aware how loud the PA system, it's mostly from what I've been told, to do with the stadium design. We're told to project loudly as normal speaking tone doesn't translate the same, it's actually almost inaudible! But from memory it's something to do with the stadium design and number of speakers.

jockman Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 The quality of some of the football yesterday was woeful. Roar are ordinary and we are even worse. Topped off again by amateurish refereeing. Poor all round frustrating to watch, not a good advertisment for the A League. Some pretty dissalusioned fans right now ...me included. Been said already best stadium to watch football and on recent performances arguably one of the worst teams. Will be interesting to see crowd numbers in next few games. Fan loyalty and being part of the WSW family is all well and good . This only goes so far,,people like winners and we haven't been winners for seasons now. Discontent on forums like this and sure heard a fair bit at the game yesterday. It's good to vent and share frustrations dissapointment etc but eventually people will walk away perhaps for good. Attendances drop memberships drop it's inevitable. Another team just round the corner too next season just adds another dimension. We pay good money to watch WSW.
