CCM 24/25 Season - Mens

[Allreet?]

I found myself reflecting on how bipolar this club is.

We're either the best or the worst.

Right now we're both at the same time:
we're currently the back to back Champions and the only Australian Treble winners in history - and performing at a wooden spoon level and in a death spiral.

I suppose given the choice I'd take this over being a mediocre team who middles the table every single season.

Mind you, if you want true bipolarity hilarity, have a lurk on ANY Scottish forum - especially during a match. Triumphal joy to despair and back again, every ten minutes.

Prediction for the finishing order

AUCK	63
WUN	44
MVC	42
ADL	42
WSW	41
MCI	39
NUJ	38
MAC	34
SFC	34
CCM	30
WEL	28
GLY	15
BNE	13

This puts SFC or MAC, plus CCM, GLY and BNE having to qualify for the Australia Cup.

With 17 games played we have a bit of a remarkable set of stats.

2 more games played.

2 losses, 7 goals conceded for 1 scored.

And the 1 goal scored was by the other team.

The bad days are here again.

 

[Ironbark]

I understand the financial trouble, but boy this is hard viewing.

Since the Grand Final which we won 3-1, having won the Treble and back to back Championships:

we have played -
* 19 league matches
* 7 ACL matches
* 1 Australia Cup match

27 games for 4 wins.

Charlesworth in charge ✔️
Rigid, inflexible coach ✔️
Nonsense positivity statements from coach that imply he just parrots buzzwords ✔️
Poor players seemingly disinterested ✔️

Yup dark days. What's Mulvey up to?

The difference last time was I knew that despite the terrible state on the pitch there were dedicated decent people working their arses off behind the scenes.
This time there are no people

I thought last night was a lot better than the previous week.

Was Sains injured? Because he had a shocker the week before.

Accumulation. 5 yellows = 1 game suspension. Considering he hasn't played half the season it shows you that older slower defenders tend to need to foul more.

I really hope that he is professional enough to realize he sucked this season and goes hard af in the off season to save his own legacy next year.

Trouble is going hard means more injuries for him.

Trouble is going hard means more injuries for him.

And more cards for mistimed tackles.

I think you have hit the nail on the head unfortunately.

People like Gabby, Dan, Shaun, Iain.. .. we might have been shit but we kept going because of people like this who fought to keep us alive.

Can’t even see we will have Jacko at the end of the season. Regardless of his shit recruiting, tactics and decision making.. scary thought is, who comes in next?

The Academy is up poo creek. (Didn’t want to use the word SHIT too many times.)

It’s really hard to see a way back from here.

Jacko cannot make this team gel.It shows how a couple of players-Nisbet,Balard and to an extent Torres-are important in getting results.Roar would not have been the same team without Broich and Sydney FC if Ninkovic,Bobo and ALF had not been in their ranks.

RP's devastation of the backroom and Academy staff has made the whole system a shambles as well as the lack of finances.
