Erebus Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Roberts finally named in extended squad. Might see him be a surprise package and get some minutes. StringerBellend, Edinburgh, Smoggy and 1 other 4 Link to comment
StringerBellend Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I’m actually excited for this game, see some of the kids play and a bit of enthusiasm yeboah up front could be interesting too.

Sime11 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 As we grow into the game without conceding, we get better, however once we concede, the floodgates open.... conceding 3 at minimum tonight. Link to comment
mack Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Squad in. Vedran dropped. Yeboah, Roly, Kamau, Fitz, Baccus, O'Doherty, Tarek, Hamill, Tass, Russell, Suman Bench: Janjetovic, Cordier, Sotirio, Hamazi, Majok. Sounds like Ziggy has taken a game off because of his injury. Yeboah up front, Roly LW, Kamau LW, Fitzgerald apparently playing attacking mid. Perth: Chianese, Keogh, Ferreira, Neville, Brimmer, Juande, Franjic, Grant, Lowry, Mrcela, Reddy Subs: Davidson, Kilkenny, Castro, Santalab and whoever their sub keeper is. Link to comment

The senior squad clearly isn’t good enough. Would like them to get blooded one by one like Babbel is doing rather all at once, even if our senior guys are rubbish it really can destroy a young kids confidence being thrown in together with other kids and copping a drubbing.

Jefski Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Last time we fielded an inexperienced squad like this (against SFC last season), we got smashed. Not sure I'll be holding my breath hoping for a result tonight. Just praying that I'm wrong. Link to comment
mack Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Babbel has managed to at least stagger their introductions somewhat. Tass has been in and around the first team already anyway, clearly Babbel has realised that we can't play Tarek in central defence again, we've only got 3 central defenders now that Tongyik is gone, so when Ziggy gets hurt, the choice is either play Tarek at CB again (which because Llorente is being frozen out will mean two young players at both fullback positions), or just play our 3rd central defender. Llorente is a liability defensively so there's no point playing him at all, so he introduced Russel now that Risdon is out of the country. Nizic showed he's useless in the FFA Cup, and since Vedran can't seem to go two games without making a calamitous error, Suman is getting another shot. Majok has been rotated a few times into the attacking lineup, and now we've got Cordier on the bench as the sub fullback. Tokich & Grozos were both floating around the midfield roles but they had some injuries, and Baccus/O'Doherty has probably been the better of all the parts of our team. But they will probably get more games later in the season. John Roberts & Majok might get more time in attack depending on how Bridge comes back into the side and how long Riera & ABJ are out for.

Xfactor Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) While other teams have marquees, quality visa players It just occurred to me we will field a team tonight with no marquee and only one visa player in the entire squad! Bonevacia. Surely that has to be a competition record? Only one visa player in the entire match day squad. God help us Edited January 13, 2019 by Xfactor Unlimited 1 Link to comment
