Newcastle Jets v Adelaide United Match Day Jamboree!!!©

[Reds]

Last 4 games we've really, really struggled to score.

2-0 against a 10 man WSW
0-1 against a rubbish Roar
1-0 against a 10 man Perth
1-2 against the worst/second worst team in the comp

I felt Roar shaped up very well against AU.

Also how many clubs around the world after winning a major cup field the same team days later in the premiership and expect a good performance?

That game was always going to be a grind against Newy. We have played 3 games in a week before and done well. But this was completly different in that the players barely celebrated the cup before jumping on a plane to tackle newcastle, this would have effected our prep and our mentality towards the game.

Still a long way to go yet and injuries have not really hit perth in way MV AUFC and SFC have.

The bottom 6 are also starting to find form so its going to get very interesting

Hopefully AU's goal on Friday involving Goodwin, Jeggo and Mabil will boost their confidence and they will step up more reducing AU's reliance of Chelo, Cirio and Bruce to get the goals.

Ahahahahahaha

disagree - the ffa cup final should be scheduled on a saturday night and the fixture of that weekend should be rescheduled later in the season to a wednesday night game where appropriate.

Yeah it sounds like it will be.
It seems like a number of things done this time round in the FFA Cup will be done differently in the future.
There was just as much learning from the FFA as there was from the clubs.
