Mooy ended up playing the whole match, losing 3-0 to Leicester.

Full game and 5-0 win for Jedinak. Full game for Wright too.

90 minutes and a win for Luongo.

Full matches and losses for Irvine and Meredith, but Irvine got the highest points on whoscored out of his team with 7.5.

Beadling didn't get off the bench in a loss that leaves Sunderland 2nd last.

Full game and a win for Burgess in League One, while Ryan Williams came off after 58 minutes in a draw with Blackburn.

Crawley Town getting a last minute 2-1 win at Yeovil.
Up to 13th and now 8 pts off play off position which is a surprise.
Good to see H get results anyway.

Jeez, those Crawley fans are hard. Still very negative towards Harry despite winning 3 of the last 4 and pulling away from the bottom. If their forum is anything to go by, most of them would still love for him to get the sack.

Fucking hell, maty. He should have dived. He should have saved that.

Assuming meant for the second goal ... he was moving in one direction and Wilson got a boot lace to the ball to dribble it past him in the opposite direction. It's near on impossible to dive in the opposite direction the body is moving.

Yep sound a miserable bunch, i ran into a Crawley supporter at the cricket and their expectations seem a bit ridiculous. Some of the complaints included a lack of identity and alienating key players in the squad which was the only valid criticism i have heard.

Crawley are a bit of an interesting read. They only reached the Conference level (Tier 5) in 2004, and only reached Football League level in 2011. They got promoted to League One in their first season before being relegated 3 seasons later. Last two years they've finished 20th and 19th in League Two. So a team with limited success in the past, and currently sitting 16th (so not outstanding but an improvement on last season so far).

Most the criticism of Harry seems to be that he is a tinkerer ... which can be a good thing sometimes (especially for the long-term).

Spanish media reporting Langerak could be on his way to Nagoya.

Smith has almost recovered from injury but Bournemouth haven't said anything about a move. 

Gersbach interviewed and stated he's not sure where he'll be playing this year.

Spiranovic still in China and needs to sort out a move asap.

Relating to Huddersfield a new signing Terence Kongolo (LB) he's  6'2 as is Scott Malone (a lot bigger than Lowe 5'7). Another foreigner. Might put a few English noses out of joint. I thought Malone was ok'ish, adds a bit of fire to the team. Lowe has been consistently poor, even last night I thought. Might be bye bye for him.
https://www.htafc.com/news/2018/january/terence-kongolo-his-career-so-far/


Kongolo's performances for Feyenoord saw him included senior team manager Louis Van Gaal's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.[65] It wasn't until on 17 May 2014 when he made his senior national team debut, in a 1–1 draw against Ecuador.[66] After the match, both van Gaal and Kongolo agreed that his performance was sloppy.

They were the wooden spoon favourites before the season started (admittedly the odds were probably partly based on low expectations of Harry's coaching ability). He's crushing it... not sure why their fans can't see that.

Kewell should put the jersey back on. Crawley are quite poor financially. He's doing well. League two does have it's good moments and a good number end up in League One and even higher. A few strong winter deals will see them stabilise.

It was 14-15 they got relegated from League One. I remember their FA Cup game at Old Trafford years back and they're well established in the football league now. 

Being League Two, it wouldn't be the worst place for some promising Aussies to get their game time up. Not ideal but lots to be had.

Havent seen this yet, delete if already mentioned. Found it on the celtic forums.

The Hoops have signed 17-year-old Leo Mazis from Belconnen on a three-year deal.
The Capital club was once the home of Celtic star Tom Rogic.
Canberra is proving a favourite scouting ground for Celtic after recently handed a trial to Nick Faust who received positive feedback but has yet to receive an offer.
Leo is similar in style and build to Mikey Johnston, who has himself seen first-team opportunities last season as well as this.
He is a classic midfielder with a full array of skills and could be the long-term successor to Tom Rogic.
Leo has an eye for a pass and his close control is top notch.
The 17-year-old will be unveiled in Glasgow on 10th of January to complete the deal which will see him as part of Tommy McIntyre’s youth set-up.
With Brendan giving opportunities to teenagers like Kristoffer Ajer and Mikey Johnston of late, Leo will have the opportunity to feature for Celtic within the 3 years of his deal.
He is familiar playing against older players making his NPL debut at just 16 years of age.
From there he has popped up on Celtic’s radar and is hoped to be another gem for Celtic.
During Leo’s trial period, they were afforded the opportunity to train with the first team and it appears the Belconnen young gun impressed more than Shaun Maloney.
The young Australian will now have the opportunity to develop in one of the world’s best academies at a time when our club has never been stronger.
And his club confirmed the deal 
Leo Mazis, who was handed his first grade debut by Dean Ugrinic in 2017 has been signed to Celtic in Scotland's premier League. Celtic is also the home of former BUFC first grade player, Tom Rogic.
Hard work and determination (and skill of course) by young Leo is what has opened this door to overseas football for him. A big shout out to Andy Bernal, who was instrumental in the gaining of this opportunity to showcase Leo's talents to the world!
Good Luck Leo, everyone at BUFC and the wider Canberra football community wishes you the best for your future!!

Definitely got one, nice ball in (1:29). Second one probably doesn't count (4:47)

On the other hand, McGowan hasn't played much at all; just five minutes once in a cup match. 

Not sure if it's been reported here yet but apparently Pacos de Ferreira want to loan him out, probably to Asia.

Our wingers, GKs and mids in the a league are much stronger than other positions. A league graduates from those positions seem to go on to play a very high level. Striker and fullback seems to be where we struggle at least for now

If I was a young forward struggling for gametime in a-league, I'd be begging my agent to get me a trial at crawley...

So Celtic are going to sign a 17 year old lad from Canberra called Leo Mazis, whom is a winger he was part of their NTC program in Canberra.

So many talented kids around that they have to go overseas to get a shot, otherwise as we know the opportunities are limited here.
