It needs to rhyme with three, Stringer. And Potkorok's suggestion for the final line is exactly what's needed at the end! But keep trying, and you'll get there! Edited April 8 by wendybr Link to post

JustWandering Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 So why is our team so poor Is it because Carlo won't play a back four Or is it unfair penalties Or attackers too stationary Or maybe a combination of all three wendybr and EmMac 2 Link to post
marron Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 It's a combo, with unfair penalties being the least important, actually, screw that. 1 and 3 all the way. The fight from the players, which genuinely looked like at least might be in his plus column early on via his man management or whatever, that doesn't seem to be a thing either. Carns 1 Link to post

Wanderboy Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Looking at the table and the amount of games that other teams have in hand over us, we are in serious trouble if we don't start picking up 3 points weekly. I'm not happy to say that unless things change drastically, we'll be lucky to make the top 8, let alone the 6. With the depth of talent we have in our squad, this is completely unacceptable. I'm not CR out yet, but **** me, it's really not good enough.

Most of the games in hand across the competition are yet to be made up, yet we’re gradually sliding down the table having played the most games of everyone. Yeh, I know. I'm always trying to keep a positive spin on things. We should have won in Wollongong. We should have beaten Adelaide at home and Brisbane away, and probably even the Mariners the other night with a bit of luck. That would have given us another 9 points on the table and we'd be leading the comp. It's these games that have destroyed my confidence and optimism. We seriously have underperforming players and questionable tactics. Week after week. Our squad, playing at their full potential, should be destroying this league. Alas, it is just more mediocrity week after week. It's depressing. What's just as depressing (and ******* boring) is reading buzz words like elan and eestwa in posts week after week. Not sure if it's attempted humor or not but geez, give it a rest people. Edited April 8 by Wanderboy sonar and Carns 2 Link to post
