Going to be a real doozy

[Hughesy]

Happy November 1st - what I would give to go back and relive that day and campaign.

Even better would be seeing the club return to those heights.

NPL Youth Teams

I believe that all NPL Youth Teams finished above the Easterners and the Sea-bogans in all age groups in their 5 game competition. Finally something to be happy. The last time we won anything as a club was the NYL Grand Final against Heartle$$.

I think that FootballNSW thought that these were the top 6 (out of 24 clubs) in NPL1 youth so this is an achievement imho.

By the look of it our u16 and u18 didn't perform as well, finishing 2nd and 3rd. Overall we got the most points for our division though. The youth division was cut in two. Also bit hard to determine entirely as the NPL site has total games and not matching for all, and doesn't break down into each grades games. Though Apia had a higher total score in the other grouping

You have to look at the 1.1 age groups. Not the blue age groups

Less then 2 months left till the season kicks off.

Have the FFA indicated when they will be releasing the draw?

I heard we have about 7 friendlies lined up. Are they all behind closed doors? 

[Tranquilo]

draw i think has been delayed to end of the month although it was meant to be early november

Bit disappointed to see that both other Sydney clubs will be having a friendly against u23 Socceroos yet we won't

Goes without saying

Disappointing, but not surprising. 
 

Pre-season matches are so much more enjoyable / less of a chore than attending actual A-League matches.  
 

Especially when they’re at differing venues, plus they’re a great way to support local communities and businesses too. (E.g. Canberra, Cessnock, Maitland, Sefton, Seven Hills)

Is Adam back at the club? It says he was appointed today..

https://www.transfermarkt.com/adam-waterson/profil/trainer/24469

Also found this on Linkedin though there is no update on his profile as yet,

I’d be very surprised if he came back, as much as I would love him to. He recently had a baby with his wife, who from his Facebook posts has lots of family in America. Plus I’d be fairly certain he’d be on much better money at galaxy than what they’d be paying in the aleague.

Did he ever have a page there before? To me that suggests someone just created his page and didn't bother looking too much into where he was.

Trawling for news, I found that our club has actually made it onto the Premier League news website,  but I could be mistaken. I expect you guys from ol Blighty to correct me if I got it wrong.

What would make better news is if his signing would give a tilt at the top with the British Isles Coaching duo of Robinson and Miller leading the charge.

[MajorMelons]

Have we played any friendlies recently and does anyone know the results? 

[Paul01]

Just went to the Wanderers Shop to buy something and had to re-register

Looks like things have been happening in the background

Just watch do an ad for Herbalife in Wanderers gear.

Look like he is back

[102megan]

Well apparently the club are working with the government, towards having the pre-season fixtures open to Members, so that should be interesting.

Fingers crossed..!

This means the reign of terror imposed on us by Lowy and Gallop at the behest of his Fox Sports mates is over.

We can only hope that the officiating gets to be fair for ALL clubs in the league and that infringements that warrant a red or second yellow card actually get awarded. No more keeping the players on the field just because their Fox Commentators favourites like the mullet

That’s as valuable as a big name player signing imo. If we were actually fit last season we would’ve been twice the side we were.

Most def

somebody nerdier than me can check the stats but it felt like we let in late goals last year

The next MLS season is schedule to start in March (assuming the whole country hasn't collapsed because of Covid).

He might be here for two months then return back to the US for the start of their pre-season.

[ItchyNek]

Glad his back if only for a few months in the pre-season to get us into gear though if his here for good then even better

[Paul01]

Well we have moved to a very British Isles staff over the last few years

Gavin Costello (Ire) Football operations manager

Karl Robinson (Wales) head coach

Kenny Miller (Scotland) Asst Coach

Do the Englishmen on here feel left out?
