Sinisa has pretty much lost me now. He looks disinterested, his starting lineups are stupid, our formation is disjointed, he takes too long to make subs when the games start getting away from us.

If you're being forced to play Messourouni hand in your resignation, nobody would hold it against him. This situation is only sabotaging his coaching career.
 
Far out it's as if the sky is falling with you lot. It's only one game with more to come, things might change, just have some hope.

When all the crap transpired i had written that i couldnt see him getting back to pre ofc final days... unfortinately its slowly being proved correct.... to be honest i can blame the prez for nepobaby and that we play with 10, those fckn 10 need to be in their damned positions though, giannakop isnt a CB, painter andrews can sit on bench till his head gets straight, pasquali isnt a holder and yuki and mikkola shouldnt be holding the midfield as a tight central 2 and you lose all your width. Basic structure ffs

100% this...

My only hope now of thisnis that indeed they learnt another lesson and perhaps there are couple last minute signings.. dont know who
 
Nothing today made sense. Was just an awful day at Lakeside. We look disjointed, slow and lacking any killer instinct.

I don’t know how we manage to make weaker opposition look so good. With Giannakopoulos moving back to defence meant we lost a bit of our midfield strength. Don’t understand why we didn’t start Menelaou or Leech to replace Giannakopoulos. Our midfield was practically nonexistent.

As for that certain player that was playing in attack, the sooner this ends the better. It does no good to that player or to the team if this continues. Perhaps a stint in the U23s for a game or two would help diffuse the situation.

Cocks and Mikkola were not great today. Worryingly, Mikkola had not been in form for a few matches.

If Bonada had scored one of his two big chances, then we could have been talking about a different scoreline. But maybe that would have papered over worrying cracks.

We desperately need 3 points against Dandy Thunder next week. I truly don’t know whether we’ll do that.

Not sure if anyone noticed but at the end of the match, there was a lively conversation between Sinisa, Pouta, and Football Director.

Sinisa’s body language today was not great. He looks like a defeated man whose players are really letting him down.

Apparently we are trying to sign 3 players but the deal’s are complicated at the moment but Yoo is the only signing we have pulled off

Without player signing reinforcements, I just see our season falling away to a mid table finish. Preston and Avondale have done good business this transfer window.

If we don’t sign a striker and a centre back at a bare minimum, we will definitively finish mid table.

I find it hard to believe a club of our stature cant sign players. Its clear they dont want to spend. Even Dandy City getting Dekker and Courtney Perkins, those would be good signings. We cant find solid npl players at all?

This whole thing of not wanting to bring "just anyone in" is also an excuse to justify us not doing anything.

Maybe its all being done on purpose so Messourouni keeps playing, who knows.

Inglese should have been kept until at least the end of the transfer window, why is Ethan O Sullivan not even on the bench when Painter Andrews is arguably the worst rb in the league?(defending). Is Menelaou injured? Again baffling.

This club owes us big time, they've subjected us to having to watch our team play overseas for months, made us sit through countless games where we were either understrength or outright uncompetitve with kids, and now they wanna throw in the towel?

Now the signs suggest that we wont take anything seriously until the Aus championship in October? I meam wtf was my membership for.
 
Agree on O’Sullivan and Menelaou. They should be on the bench at a minimum. We do need to upgrade what we have on RB. Painter-Andrews has had a few poor matches this season.

Painter Andrews was always a better winger. Hes a serious defensive liability.

I don’t understand why we threw away and self sabotaged our NPL season.

That month of May where the club made that ridiculous decision to play the U20s/U23s was a sign that the club had not taken the NPL seriously enough. We have dropped so many points this season.

We have not won the NPL Victoria title since 2016. This was the year meant to change that - we have just absolutely stuffed this up.
 
The way other clubs are spending money i think our npl window is over. It was open for us during the Esteban era, money was tight post Covid, Preston were lower in the pyramid, it was set up for us to win at least 1 title but we couldnt get it done.
