He's got precious little to show for his two seasons in the A-League. Definitely on the down-hill slide in the twilight of his career. We've got to do better. Why? If CFG stick with Joyce then it does not matter who the marquee is. We could have Christiano Ronaldo, Messi, Mbappe and we would still under perform whilst being coached by Joyce.

Don’t spend their whole time tackling and running themselves into ground at training in a desperate attempt to make the starting XI.

Originalmeme Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 apparently we are linked with Krishna. saw the rumour shared on facebook today. What do we all think of that? can we honestly fit him in our team? Assuming we keep joyce and we keep to 2 forwards up top, him and jmac? would be bloody potent but they would need hell of a service.

I suspect the current team sheet and 19/20 season sheet are going to look very different. Krishna would be awesome. Him and JMac is tasty - but no good without some creativity and counter attacking players in the midfield. Its like having christmas without presents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most notably O'Halloran and Fornaroli, but also Malik and Caceres. I'm afraid that when I look at the team sheet now I don't see a silverware-winning squad.

I rate this kid too. A lot of promise. Good luck to him. When a new team comes into the competition this is going to happen. With the first one being from "Melbourne" it was inevitable that our youth set-up would be the prime target. What concerns me is the possibility that we are being tardy in our own recruiting for the future. At the moment, the players contracted to the seniors for next season are: Birighitti; Bouzanis; Jamieson; Delbridge; Griffiths; Najjarine: Genreau; Berenguer (V); Baccus; Atkinson; Maclaren (M). Not sure about Connor Metcalfe. Let's hope that they are not just sitting on their hands out there at Bundoora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got the bones of a good team but, as always, it’s all about who we sign in those most important positions. Re-signing Schenkeveld is a priority. Brattan would be handy too. Then it’s about identifying the right targets and bringing them in early in the pre-season. Of course, putting Joyce on a plane back to Manchester is the first step, and bringing in a competent senior coach should be done soon after.
