We Are The Reds

We need to be careful here. Maybe there was a "team meeting" or "team supervision" where people were expected to give their opinions and it got heated and out of hand. The Dutch are known for their straight, forthright and no bullshit manner. Maybe he was just too hard and honest with the group. B)...

Decent performance so far. 2 great goals and 1 lucky one but we'll take them anyway we can!
Still not convinced by the defence, they could easily score 4.

Sad he wasn't able to continue the Gombau legacy when he left. On the topic of Gombau a quick google on him, He's the Aston Villa U21 manager! Yep found that out when Gauci went there, he apparently played a role in it. As we all know, he's got a good eye for goal keepers and whether they are shit ...

Craig Goodwin's Dad on Twitter said that Craig highly rates him as a player and a person. That's a good enough reference for me!

He's a risk but the sort of risk we should be taking. Injury history is a worry and our track record on keeping players fit and on the park is poor. 4 years is a clear sign that they believe they can develop him a bit more and put him in the shop window for a decent transfer fee.

The extra year is going to look like a bad bit of business by the club if he breaks down again or continues to struggle for form. His versatility would have made it just about worthwhile giving him one more year to rediscover his mojo. Bravo Martin you nailed it. He's not the only one on longer con...

We need a clear out so it's not all terrible but if we come back for pre-season and the Australia Cup and have no one signed then there's going to be a lot of unhappy supporters. We can't do what we seem to do every other time and sign a bunch of players 2 weeks before the season starts after the tr...

A disaster. Again. AU seems to specialise in this crap. As far back as Dodd. Cassio. Others already mentioned. Still, after the season he's had, Hiro was probably in demand. The club have a 'loose change' approach to transfers and wages. Think if what (who) weve lost this year (Gauci, Poppa, Nestor...

I'm getting sick of seeing players who have given great service to the club, being unhappy with the circumstances in which they're leaving. It's bound to happen sometimes but in recent memory Juande, Goodwin and now Hiro have all been unhappy. It just isn't good enough.

I'll add to the wish list a decent DM, 2 if Barnett is not fit. I wasn't the hugest fan of Juande but he was effective. Tunnicliffe has been terrible IMO.

Some interesting games on tonight. Japan v North Korea is a game that is likely to be fiery (from the North Korean side at least, my guess is the Japanese will be just hoping not to be too badly injured). Another is Oman v Malaysia, a phrase I never expected to utter ( Malaysia have really picked u...

Thanks for locking this thread 7G. The mods here are generally very reluctant to ban members as we generally have a good community here that is respectful of one another. However I've taken the decision to ban AndyJ, very few of his posts have been constructive and most of the time he only appears t...

Gee if a handful of social media posts, some colourful shirts and some rainbow smoke is enough to rile people up this much then all the more reason to continue having a pride round. We have a long way to go in our society (not that I believe pride round was even in the top 20 reasons why people didn...

Yeah the general application wasn't bad. Fought to the end which to me shows there's still team spirit there. We're still just woeful at defending especially in transition. We created a bit more than recent away weeks but we're struggling there too. These things have to be on the coaching staff unfo...

Hard to disagree with most of the recent posts. Just on the owners, they're not trying to sell anymore. I don't know at a high level strategically, I'd have done anything different to them. They poured their own money in at the start of the year to pay off debts and invest in the training facilities...
