We Are The Reds

Is for him and should be for everyone else finally!

Probably better for the match thread but he's not wrong that the 2 goals were really bad defensive errors so its a valid point. Personnel wise we're closer to being ok in defence. We're threadbare in both the wingback and centreback positions, if our first choices are out then we're playing ...

He doesn't even mention Riak. Just Anselmo and Burkitt. Anselmo's body is breaking down and I like Burkitt but I don't see the kid as a lead the line striker. It's all looking pretty bleak.

Now I'm reading Cong An had 6 first team players out with the Vietnamese national team.

We lost 2-0 at home to a second string Vietnamese team??? [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]


I think someone also mentioned they had 7-8 foreigners on the pitch, which many of were brand new players. I couldn't ...

Great intent from Ajak on debut

Having both him and Anselmo meant that Goody could play his more natural way out wide and not have to come central as much. I think this is more of an effect of having Anselmo in tandem with the striker than Ajak but it was nice to have a bit more size up front as ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
