Looks like we won't be seeing Rojas at Coopers; cracked fibula.
It's an away game but you're still correct :)

Ah, good point.

It's a pity as I quite like Rojas, never quite sure why he left Netherlands and Denmark as he was getting time on the park.

From memory he and his Danish club (The same team Absalonsen was at) couldn’t agree on a deal to extend his contract so he left.

Funny game isn’t it. Win our next game and we could be clear second (depending on results). But apparently the coach has no idea?
Questioning team selection and the apparent freezing out of some experienced long term servants of the club is a far cry from saying the coach has no idea.

He's obviously capable as he wouldn't have got the gig otherwise.

Only natural for us to have criticisms and express them.

Nothing wrong with some constructive criticism, and some of it is quite valid. Persisting with Dukuly, Abetew at RB, Marrone in the doghouse - all things that have had me scratching my head for sure.
But to suggest that after three consecutive wins that the coach had nothing to do with it and it's just a result of better players being available is an extremely simplistic point of view.
We were fortunate to beat CCM, the WSW game was a classic smash and grab with some great counter attacking football and the Jets are obviously a below average outfit. But to turn things around after a bad run takes more than just slotting some new and returning names on to the team sheet. This isn't FIFA.
Well Veart seemingly hasn’t changed anything tactically so how can we possibly give him any credit?

In terms of keeping morale and confidence up in the camp, we don’t know who’s been driving that as outsiders so we can’t praise anyone for that.

Perhaps the fact that he has given the group belief after protecting the kids after being thrown to slaughter.

Lets not forget Gombau ruthlessly kept the same tactics and then went on a long streak and we all hailed him a legend.

The manager ultimately answers for all on field performances, I was a fan of Kurz however he would not have had this run of form with a squad like this.
Ppl who slap the label of truth on the 1st thing they hear, do it out of ignorance, convenience or cant be bothered picking through a thin layer of falsehood to find the real truth, or possibly even another lie
The voice in our head is the final judge
