Newcastle Jets vs Western Sydney Wanderers 8/1/2021 7:05PM

Don’t know how you’re all feeling so far,  but while we are winning, is anyone worrried about how we will do against a real team?

[mack]

Didn't they change the rules to get rid of yellows for offences that get advantage played?

[Westiesarebesties]

Side note, loving the effort Cox is putting in, bloke had found some legs

[octa9ona11]

I dont get the hate for Dorrans? Last week he was average but it was his first game in the league after quarantine etc etc. Tonight he has been pretty solid I think. Nothing flashy or showy but has been pretty damn solid

[octa9ona11]

Also, I see players like Baccus (he has been unreal in these first 2 games), Russell, Tass and Acquilina and suddenly the academy investment seems like a winner

We played well against the Bullsh1tters but lost to dubious refereeing.

Next week up against the Smurfs.

Cox off at 67 min, ibini on. He should be ok for 36 minutes.

Lol

[EmMac]

I had a catchup with a friend so couldn't make the match. Just got in and.... we're winning 

Hold the line Universe, hold the line

Needs 5 or 6 games under his belt.

Turns out, thats still the case

[ZachMercer]

Here we go.

[BBB]

Another goal against us from a free kick that should not have been. But they can go back further for our offside???? Load of crap. 

[Generator]

Hah biggest cheer from the home crowd so far isn’t for the goal, but for the steal from Ibini. I love this game.

If you wouldn’t mind..it’s in a good cause...lol

Without Muller and Cox on, we’ve completely lost the ability to make it stick up top. Long 10 mins ahead.

This feels like an inevitable 2-2 here. We can't finish a hot dinner and the Jets are all over us in attack.

[Paul01]

O'Doherty comes and stepping up. Nice pass to Ibini

We have suffered since Muller and Cox went off, and since EmMac logged on.

There's part of the reason this game is open. When there's just a wingback out wide a lot of the time balls that get cleared into the wide deep areas in the attacking third aren't being picked up quickly in a position a fullback or midfielder normally is.

[WHACKO]

Anyone else feeling a case of deja vu.

[ZachMercer]

hahaha. They rugby tackle us "play on", we breath on them yellow.

[sonar]

Can't question Yeboahs intent there. Great defensive play.

Boogard elbowed one of ours in the spine without even trying to get the ball and all we got was a foul.
