We Are The Reds

With Bovalina, Halloran, VDS, Panashe and Nestory there was a glut of right-sided attackers. I felt sorry for Bernardo as he had performed well at international level with the Joeys. Perhaps CV didn’t want to be accused of nepotism or maybe Bernardo had voiced his opinions. We’ll never know. I rated...

And the second lowest attendance of the season. You can excuse the worst gate against Brisbane, the weather was diabolical. To lose 3400 fans in a week should hit the board in the pocket. That may see them sit up and take notice. You can’t fool all the people all of the time.

I think members and walk ins are entitled to expect some form of entertainment. After all it’s their hard earned money that supports the club. Last night’s game was not a spectacle, and that’s what spectators pay for. We’ll know where the club stands by the end of Feb. If they’re not in the top six ...

Adelaide United: for twenty years The People’s Club, for the foreseeable future The Profiteers’ Club.

Well that was just two bang average teams going through the motions. The apathy on the pitch has been reflected in the Matchday Jamboree feed getting one page of comments. My frustration with the game was primarily the inconsistency of the team and the application of poor coaching decisions. That’s ...

Intriguing game. They’ve lost a very useful playmaker in Sahki but still have Aslan. And Nabbout is back to stir things up. And then there’s the Vidmar factor. Looks like a score draw to me.

Combined attendance for last weekend’s games was in excess of 48,000. And with one game a bye (Reds vs WU). So that’s about 20+% more than the much hyped Unite Round. The game is looking pretty healthy to me.

According to data on Austadiums.Com fewer than 40,000 turned up for the entire round. Obviously ran at a loss. Let’s hope lessons have been learned as it’s not a half bad idea.

Another potential banana skin game. Always the same when ex-Reds come back to Coopers. And Brizzie has got a few of them: Mileusnic, Calletti, Gomulka and Armiento. I hope we see a slightly different approach from CV.

We lacked leadership. Our captain is too busy trying to score that he forgets he’s a defender and should be organising from the back. As one of nearly 13,000 who attended tonight I think I deserve an explanation from CV as to what happened. Why it happened and what step he’s going to take to ensure ...

Is Kitto carrying an injury? Way off the pace

Looks like Isias, Yull and Mandahna are amongst the subs. Tunnicliffe must be starting.

I’m sure there’ll be other games against A-League teams arranged behind closed doors before the season starts. What upsets me most is the lack of explanation at a press conference. There has been no accountability whatsoever.

I don’t think Adelaide will de-list anybody other than Juande. They’re still a work in progress for another season.
Still too reliant on one or two stars, getting into the finals will again be this season’s goal.

It’s a shame Paramount+ is no longer included. I liked to keep up with the rest of ALM and ALW. And of course all the Reds away games.
