  1. Well barring a Tunisian win over France, a draw against the Danes sees us through to the Round of 16. I think the game in Australia will get a significant shot in the arm from the Tunisian win anyway, but geez theres some real potential to lay some significant foundations if we can progress here.
  2. Pretty good signing as an injury replacement imo
  3. Dub signing for sure, probably Maria Rojas
  4. I dont think we have a single player on our list that could be considered that tbh.
  5. I think the terms 'best player' and 'most important player' are not necessarily the same things and as Jovan alluded too, sometimes the glue isnt the most obvious part in a machine, but its what holds the rest together. In that sense i think Jamie is definitely underrated on here by some, and whilst he's not the sort of player you look at frequently in terms of votes, he's without a shadow of a doubt one of our most important players in the team.
  6. Confident of a win, but a bit wary. Newy away are a far different proposition to Newy at home. Very big game in terms of setting up a commanding lead going into the WC break
  7. I think the argument is prob that its almost certain that neither will start at any stage, so you almost want a body of work thats off the bench as a reference point. And on that point i think kuol is the winner
  8. If youd asked me at 7pm id have said yes, but i think following Kuol's cameo he will go instead.
  9. To me it didnt really feel like anyone stood out on the weekend tbh, not sure what others thought.
  10. I still think its a clear and obvious error either way as the player slides into jmac and makes absolutely no contact with the ball. Jmac also gets a touch just prior to the contact, but either way i feel like its a moot point once Wootten leaves the ground and cleans a player up. No amount of whinging will change it now i guess, but i feel like that one was more a case of ref not wanting to admit he got it wrong than any objective view of it tbh.
  11. Im entirely fine with their goal. Shouldnt be lost to the fact that was quite a sweetly hit goal ha. There's no way that player is actually affecting the keeper. If anything it just adds salt to the wound to the fact we were denied a toilet seat on the back of a shithouse decision. My major gripe is that penalty that wasn't paid. The commentators on the replay made it out as though Jmac having control was a factor; fucking horseshit it is. You can't slide tackle a player in the box and make no contact with the ball period. Stonewall pen imo and ultimately cost us three points.
  12. Genuinely pumped for today. Bringing the full tribe down and hoping we'll get a good performance and result to go along with it.
  13. He was offered a reasonable contract as far as i know, but he had a significantly better offer on the table from the Bulls and took it.
  14. I tend to agree. At 2-0 ad against 10 men, I thought we were comfortable to not take any risks and if that meant they had a bit of possession and decided to commit an extra number to the attack in order to force things, we'd then have a numbers advantage over the back. And tbf we had several opportunities to do just that and didnt convert. Likewise, if we'd gotten the third i daresay its shackles off and go at them. Ultimately i thought they looked highly unlikely to score in the second half and were going to need some sort of a worldie to even get a look in. Side note - very well coached by PK last night. We've added the strings to the bow to address our weaknesses from last year, and we even looked quite tidy at set pieces last night imo.
  15. I think its that hes not quite developed his decision making just yet. Ie he still dribbles at players when he should pass, and passes when he should look to get at them. Once he gets that right then yes, i agree, the sky is the limit.
  16. Look obviously you can't be in PK's mind, but i would have been pretty confident we'd have seen 20-30 minutes for Marco last weekend had we not gone down to 10 with a 2-0 lead. Circumstances simply didnt dictate him coming on in that game. As it stands i think him and Nabbout are fairly evenly placed, but Nabbout is the incumbent and has started well, and therefore keeps his spot until either Marco forces his way past him, or injury opens a spot up. We all rate Marco and see how good he can potentially be, but i simply don't think he's gone past any of the incumbent front three based on his performances in a City shirt to date. His challenge is to make enough of an impact and take his opportunities by the scruff of the neck when they present to him to the point that he's undroppable.
  17. I'm fairly confident, fitness pending, that we'll see; Glover Talbot Good Lam Jameson ONeill Berisha Van Der Venne Nabbout Maclaren Leckie
  18. IMO Good and Lam will end up being or first choice pairing, with Nuno still to see plenty of game time between injuries and suspensions etc. Three genuine first choice CB's is a terrific place to be
