Re: Adelaide Utd 2022-23 a season to forget

If last season was a season to forget then unfortunately this season so far we've gone backwards but remarkably Stenta (the immovable object) is still there. :oops:

Re: Adelaide Utd 2022-23 a season to forget

2 wins in a row, 3.5k at the game yesterday, starting to become a season to remember. Hmmm, let us not get carried away just yet as still quite some way to go but at least now heading in the right direction. Btw congrats to one of my fav. local players in Chrissy Panagaris on her winning goal :clap...

Not a bad start to the season. I think this will shape up to be one of their very best I think BTK you're being too generous. I would argue it is a poor start considering both games at home & both winnable. Also given we were playing against a Canberra team with no Grace Maher & the CCM, a ...

I'm still not convinced on Gustavssonn's ability as a head Coach, he seems far too slow to react to changes in the flow of the game (a bit like Arnie) and often gets his changes wrong. Still not convinced - bring back Stajic. 5 months on from our N.Z. friendlies & the number of 'not convinced' ...
