After watching frustrated as Adelaide did their usual job in QLD in front of an abysmal crowd, it was great to hear good reports about the 2-0 win over Fury in front of 11,000 fans (probably mostly Liverpool fans but hey - maybe they will come back??).
The signs are good, not just because Lame Reddy has gone to Phoenix but because Postacoglou seems to be building an effective team to play the way he wants.
We may never really know why Miller left the club, but it appears clear that he and the coach were not on the same page. Postacoglou took a very brave decision to let a fan favorite and influential player go, now he must prove he made the right choice. Early days, but So far so good.
I'm feeling the most optimistic I have all year at the moment. The last few games I've left the stadium with a grin on my face which has been fairly rare this season. The team is playing well and I can't wait for the Derby on boxing day :)

Great to see Ange putting his stamp on the side and club, something needed to happen..They just need Moore & Tiatto to now leave and get some young talented players along with a couple of quality experienced players that will have a positive effect on the club and young players..!! Moore and Tiatto are just thugs and certainly aren't leaders!!!

Deve (are you Dave? Great to hear from you - sorry if your not and welcome ;),
I agree, the minute a club starts backing players over the coach it always goes to pot. Gianluca Vialli at Chelsea and just about anyone at Madrid come to mind instantly as examples.
