Reply | Did Nardi Cost us the point?
at 16:07 12 Feb 2025
Time wasting? We do time waste in games, no doubt about that. But last night? I guess you are talking about when Nardi went down injured towards the end. That’s not time wasting in my view, that’s just taking the “sting” out of the game. We were under pressure, they had some real physicality up front and we had been struggling for 5 minutes. I’m pretty certain he just went down so team could reset and get back in position and discuss how we get ball forward more and combat the subs. If our aim was to time waste, why didn’t we just keep ball in corner in 92nd minute? |

Were we really the better team before the subs? They had 2-3 great chances and a very borderline offside goal. We had some good positions and 1 excellent chance for Frey.
You take Colback off and you’re left with 2 defensive midfielders who aren’t the best at moving the team forward. That said , I’m not sure Morgan for Colback would have been my choice. Varane and Field were fine together, we didn’t lose the battle. Saito was our best attacking threat, so when he went off we lost a lot. Smyth also much better than Yang. That said we still
They were also a constant threat from every corner they had.
As for Nardi going down injured….he’s just doing that to take the “sting” out of the game. He’s not trying to waste time. We were under a bit of pressure. Go down, let defence and midfield reset and calm. We then had moments after where we were the ones trying to win it. There’s no doubt in my mind that we were going for 3 points throughout. |

I think if the prosecution lose then we pay but I think if they win, then the defendant (Kerr / Chelsea) would have to pay all costs. |

Changed to “Game on”. We’re here without Chair on form. He just starting to get fitness and form. And combined with that we’ve got Dembele back, who looked good earlier in season. |

Ok. I think it’s more a difference of opinion that I am right and you are wrong OR you are right and I am wrong. |

I don’t believe there is a racial hierarchy in the UK today or Australia when she grew up. She’s using race, being drunk and Sarah Everard to justify her actions. She needs to grow up. Pretty insulting to Sarah Everards family too.
But we will never agree on this so let’s leave it there. |

Yes in history there has been racial hierarchies. I said that. But there’s a big difference between living in 19th century US as a black woman or 1940s Germany as a Jewish woman, to an Indian/black woman born in 1990s in Perth and living in the UK in 2025. Like her use of Sarah Everard case, or the fact she was drunk, it’s just her not accepting responsibility for her actions. |

Exactly. She’s 31 and about to become a mum. She’s not 15. Take responsibility and admit you did wrong and grow up. It’s no one else’s fault. [Post edited 6 Feb 19:57]

Saying both should he equally bad. There shouldn’t be a hierarchy of racism. Having a race hierarchy is what Hitler did. Racism is racism. |

On JCS and Chair being unavailable I meant that, the clearest signal that our recruitment is working is that arguably our 2 best players from last season have for the most part been missing and yet we sit with 41 points today.
Also, we may be over-relying on stats but I thought to say we “you can’t only look at data” isn’t right. Of course you can’t only look at date but I don’t believe we are or were doing that. But even the stats about Madsen raised alarms…..big lad who isn’t that good in the air and not physical.
I would say it’s just a bad decision rather than our recruitment method isn’t working. Clubs all make bad signings and this looks like being one.
On the experience side, we had experience in the squad and didn’t need more. Cook, Fox, Colback, Dunne. And to some extent Chair!
We’ve got a young CEO and he’s making mistakes (as does everyone) but he’s learning from them in my view. |

How do you know it was all data? I think given we’ve had no JCS and no chair for most of season, our recruitment has been decent. |

It’s still a good transfer window. We’re 3 points of playoffs. I know you don’t like Nourry though
Oh and you missed extensions for Morgan, Chair, Lloyd and Kolli. And Field last year. [Post edited 5 Feb 0:15]

The main issue with Madsen is that we spent the most money on him. However overall, I’d say our transfer dealings have been successful. We’re 3 points of playoffs with Chair being out for most of season and no JCS. |

I’m pretty happy with the squad and the way we are recruiting. I’d like us to get Jimmy tied down to a 3-4 year deal though.
Of our best 11 last season, 3 have left (Begovic, Willock and Dykes/Amstrong), 2 out injured pretty much all season (colback and jcs) and 1 injured & out of form (Chair). I think to sit 14th is good achievement given all those changes. And especially to have done all that without Chair and JCS is remarkable, given their performances last season. |

No one knows what’s happened behind scenes. Did we offer him a contract? Did he delay signing? No one knows. It’s pure guess work. Personally I think we offered him a deal and he delayed due to the window. |

Seems reasonable. Can understand why both player and club won’t budge. |

Our accounting period is to April (not December), in line with tax year. |

Around that time extensions for Kolli, Morgan and Lloyd wouldn’t have been right either. Must have started in December. |

If the club had already offered him a deal or were willing to offer him one, why would they want to delay him signing it given we had this January windows coming up. Given the extensions we’ve already had, I would be amazed that if they wanted to keep him, they wouldn’t have included him in this round of contract extensions. What were they waiting for? The only party that a delay makes sense for is Dunne. And to be clear, I don’t blame him for that. |
