He should be back soon.

There have been a few injuries and setbacks with the likes of Trifiro, Pava and Urosevski 'leaving' right before the season started. However, our squad is still head and shoulders above the bottom few sides and there's no excuses for not picking up maximum points against the likes of Manly and St George.

Our squad is still strong enough to challenge for the finals and I dont buy into the "young squad" thing. It's definitely a young squad, no doubt about it. But there's plenty of quality in those youngsters and they've been amongst our best so far this season.

Our downfall has been up front. There have been games where we've looked clueless in the final third and other games where we havent been able to finish our chances. Losing Pava and Tricky and sticking LG out wide probably hasnt helped either of those situations. Having said that, when LG was up front earlier in the season he wasnt getting any service anyway.

Triantis and Pava should both be back soon. Rudes will have close to a full squad to pick from and I'd expect us to pick up our game in second half of the season - just like we did last year.

Yeah I'm expecting us to come home with a wet sail like last season. Or at least I hope so :lol:

we have Marconi and APIA in the next two weeks...anything less than 6 points and we will struggle to make the 5 in my opinion. (already a 4 point gap)

because after that we have 5 massive games in a row which will dictate everything.

Demons @ home
Sutherland @ away
Olympic @ away
Rockdale @ home
Bonnyrigg @ away

Agreed.

The dropped points against Manly and STG will come back to haunt us. We cant afford to drop points to sides like that

I'm still quietly confident of a turnaround. At this stage last season we were looking just as poor and then went on something like a 10 game winning streak to storm into the finals. BWE was the only game we lost in the second half of the season, IIRC.

Is Rudan still the coach???? and who is your goalkeeper coach???

Rudan is still there...

keeper coach i think is Gibson? dont quote me i might be mistaken.

Also see kalac there time to time, teaching our youth kids etc.

So we've signed Urosevski and Petkovski on loan from SFC and have also signed Kaz Patafta

source? all confirmed?

Yeah was from the club on Twitter

good stuff.

some strengthening we need in key areas.

Bonnyrigg deserved winner over
rockdale in the ffa cup

2.1 too the good guys with
6 first graders missing

rockdale unlucky lol

Did you watch the game??

Good signings for SU58, Rudan working his sydney contacts well for his side.

WTF is wrong with South Coast? Being consistently shit and struggling to hang onto draws is hardly a good sign for a prospective A-League side. Hopefully both they and St George get something going. I've got a real soft spot for the latter as the St George- Budapest teams from the 60's to the 80's were just such a massive driving force for Australian football in the past.

he love stirring. first half hour we were very good, created chances, didn't put em away, bonno came home strong and then scored the winner with the last kick of the game. we had a 5 minute break in play as bonno had a player seriously injured, poor lad, fell to the ground and was hit in the face with a knee from one of his team mates. multiple fractures in told. anyway, waratah cup rules- no extra time. ridiculous.

That can't be right.

Bankstown Berries and St George went to extra time. Two mins away from penalties.

i think he means during normal time.

so stoppage time for the injury didnt carry on.

Good game but Bonnyrigg took control in the last 20 min

Must better game than the other game there were Marconi or Rockdale couldnt put 5 passes together

Bonnyrigg took control in the last 20 min as Rockdale fell asleep

Apia due a win and i think they will beat Bonyrigg this week

5 draws in 7 games tell me they are close to wining a game

we dropped two points against Marconi and apia.
re apia, I thought even though we played most game with 10 men, they didn't really trouble us. warren did look good before he went off. not sure how long powell will take to come up to speed but they have some cattle, just a question of them all clicking. fogarty, parisi, mayora, powell upfront. anyway, their time will come.

ive said it before, a very even comp.

re waratah cup, the draw was a joke, us playing bonno rd 32.
no extra time in regular time equally ridiculous. we had an extended break and yet nothing extra.

anyway, good luck to the remaining teams including our local side sans souci!

Did Tezza play for Bonnyrigg?

Tough luck, we had to play you guys away at your homeground which heavily favours the home side.... 2nd half we should have had 3-4 goals

And no Tezza didn't play, he is debuting next week according to the Bwefc facebook page

:lol: What the fuck happened to Manly tonight. Went from 2-1 down against South Coast after 70 mins to 6-1 down at FT.

Terrible news out of Bankstown in NPL2 with a player reported to have had a heart attack and passed away.

Of course it happens at a game I didn't go to. :lol:

i was there Wollongong were ok manly were terrible, it looked like they gave up with ten to go

Some twitter posts saying it was Kodjo Adjassou. I'd guess that he was about 21 years old... What a tragedy. I played against him a couple of times and he was a very talented player. Condolences to his family & friends.

Rip adjasou terrible news

In gods hand terrible

Sad

indeed, terrible terrible news. his brother david is with us at rockdale. we had a minutes silence yesterday before the game. his brother david wanted to play yesterday and was on the teamsheet. apparently dropped on the field, suspected heart attack, the refs tried to revive him, they did, but lost him afterwards. may he rest in peace and our condolences to the adjassou family.
really puts things into perspective.

:lol: of course we miss a 95th minute penalty at 1-1 and then hit the post with the rebound.

17th min: Blacktown City 3-0 Bonnyrigg
