Surely you have not forgotten Stewart Petrie, Golden Boot winner in season 1 and one of the best exponents of the headed goal you are likely to see.

#pauloout , call me when you want me back boys

Why does Okon get the luxury of needing better players to be a good coach and Walmsley didn't?

Why is Okon exempt from being blamed for finishing second last twice consecutively when he got to spend a decent amount picking four very decent European players, by his own admission, even when Asdrubal was a dud?

100% agree that’s fu);&,d

Well @tony walmsley you did bring Appiah back to the club and we have just sold him so you got to be claiming that one over Paul

But he was trailing Nabbout at the same time and picked Appiah over him. I suspect we would have got a better price for Nabbout.

Nabbout had no talent at the time how was I to know he was going to sprout

"Nabbout had spent weeks on trial at Central Coast Mariners hoping to land a deal, but was deemed surplus to requirements in a team that finished with less points than any other Australian club in the 10 seasons prior."

I remember he was spotted with both Appiah and Nabbout trailling, in one of his last acts before the Green Gully game he chose Appiah.

Nabbout is in Newcastle
Appiah is in Korea for real $$$$ (i hope)
Enough said

I did a quick ring around all of the Central Coast and the only person who wants you back is the manager at East Gosford. So jog on Tony and enjoy the variety of food in India.

And could send in a great cross with his sweet left foot..

Haven't we scored a bunch from headers this year?

As Magpie said the discussion point was re our attackers. Mind you given how few goals we’ve scored, no we stil haven’t scored that many headers.

I often wonder how we would have gone that season if Nik Mrdja (Disco Nik) had not been injured for the entire season. He scored hat-tricks in the two games before his injury that kept him out. Stewart and Nik were great together back then with Nik scoring the bulk of the goals. He never really recovered (although he did get picked for the Socceroos) and the less prolific Stewart Petrie ended up sharing the Golden Boot.

Getting rid of Monty was genius.

Wout was supposed to be better and could be if he was on the park instead of on holiday

But why couldn’t Monty have been the backup DM? He would not have let last night happen or every AU player would be feeling his frustration

. the problem we have (and tom, vout & alan are all decent players) is that no-one has the ability to (excuse the unlady-like expression) ... grab the game by the balls and inspire the team

. and that is a recruitment issue
