I can see the need for the Jets to remain in the League, traditional football area here, hope an owner is found shortly. Lederer also isn't the sole owner of the Wanderers, although obviously the most visible one. Oh, don't get me wrong, I also see the need for the Jets to remain. Just not sustainable as is for much longer.. papersun 1 Link to comment

The owners has always been bad, from Constatine, to Tinkler to the Chinese firm they never have stability that is why they are stuck in the rut they are in. I am pretty sure the Jets are really happy we finished where we did since we took their coach and their players. Smoggy 1 Link to comment

Keithie Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) If you listen to the his post match press conference (the players and me have failed) he goes on to say he knows what needs to be done and starting this Sunday and Thursday it starts. If a bunch of numnuts like us on the forum here can see what needs to be done then experienced people like Carl Robinson and Kenny Miller add people like Labinot Haliti and Patrick Zwannswijk will know what needs to done. I do believe this group will get defensive issue and get some players who will have a go and improve the skills. 1 thing that come out of last night is that Keanu Baccus at attacking midfielder and Graeme Dorrans and Steven Ugarkovic will be the core of the team next season , I enjoyed watching Baccus have a real go last night and Dorrans has passion and should be club captain next season. Hopefully we will see a good step up for the 3 or 4 kids at the back and along with some good recruitment in the centre of defence we can move to another level. As for the attack recruitment cannot begin until we see what happens with Duke and Kamau. Players to go in my numnut view. McGowan for sure Ziegler for sure Muller for sure Ibini for sure Mutch not sure we have seen the best of him Don't know what happens with Mourdakutis is he a good enough or has he plateaued 2 years ago he was our future in the centre of defense , not sure now. Grozos Yeboah not sure if I would keep him as a late sub in the forward line. McDonald will probably retire. Troisi still 1 year for contract , underated as he does lot of good work of the ball but Baccus will push him out of the 10 position unless we play with 2 10s come on October Edited May 27, 2021 by Keithie TwoLeftFoots 1 Link to comment

sonar Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Smoggy is positive ...he's positive the managers crap and so are some senior players and a lot of us agree...lol There have been so many games where supposed senior players have put in shockers. How about the game against Newcastle where we need to score to win and Yeboah instead of passing the ball forward decides to do a sideways pass over the effing sideline. You could list them but it would turn into a novel. jockman and Smoggy 2 Link to comment

I should be a psychologist oops Lets have some perspective on positivity as it relates to forum posters and our current situation. We are currently in 9th posn with a few games to go. This will be our 4th year of not making the finals. Supporters are annoyed, frustrated and feel let down by the Club yet again with what has been served up to them this and the past 4 or 5 seasons. Let me tell you that If Sydney Fc had experienced what we are experiencing they would have a lynch mob outside their admin headquarters demanding the sacking of all and sundry responsible. Our supporters have been remarkably calm and patient throughout but we can only take so much. Positivity my arse...... Smoggy, papersun, jockman and 3 others 6 Link to comment

Keithie Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) well Sonar what are ya gunna do now let life continue to get you down or accept the reality. The reality is Wanderers will continue to focus on the development of youth and Lederer's plan is to continue to develop these kids not to make wanderers great but to make money on selling them. Lets face the true reality and we were only great when we were owned by the FFA , 2 very good years and then sold to Lederer, 2016 was a good year but under achieved, true ? The next year we dumped all the players that made 2016 a good year and since then, mediocre performances ,treated poorly by coaches like Popa etc: Carl Robertson will earn his salary carrying out what the boss wants like every business , true ? or he quits. Wanderers will never be a big club like Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory because we don't invest and really cannot attract the better than average soccer player and when we have had a class Aussie player they move on quickly. Jamison , Ikonomedis. Take a look around the A league now and how many good ex wanderers are out there one we sacked a year or 2 ago is mow selected to represent Australia We do not get the Luke Bratten's the Jamie Mclaren's the Curtis Goods we get cheaper players like Dylan McGowan, James Troisi etc: I have been with the wanderers as early as day 1 maybe you could call it day 0. Wanderers will have a very good season soon maybe next year if Robertson can get some quality players, better than some of the lazy lot we have this year but he may be forced to promote 3 or 4 more kids . If so same old same old so rather than brood over it accept it and get positive one day we may be ok. Edited May 27, 2021 by Keithie SNS100 and Edinburgh 2 Link to comment
