Dylan Posted September 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) I reckon those stories about an assistant comming in from England might come to fruition once Joe goes back to the W-league side.

They were definitely not worth making the trip for. Although these days we arent standing knee deep in mud watching a handful of obscure fringe players lazily have a kick about on a paddock with a rusty old bus stop for a bench so it will probably be more pleasant than it used to be.

Dylan Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I get a feeling that this whole inviting Auckland over here might be a courting exercise to get their head coach to come to as an assistant (as joe will have to balance between the worship and alesgue) and then head coach. Apparently he is very highly regarded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAM10 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Was told by a member of the city staff that we were loosing 1- 0 , playing shit and Brattan scored the equaliser at the end of the first half. 10 mins into the second period Caceres came on, he started dictating play, we took control of the game and ended up winning 2-1 with Colazo tapping in a cross after Caceres created some magic.

Good to hear that the likes of Caceres coming off the bench and having a good impact. We haven't had impact players off the bench like this before.

TBH I can't think of any player in the A-league that can go with Colazo as he is at another level. Caceres will come into his own this season. We saw glimpses of it last season and it was class. He is included in the many match winners we have on our team. Interested to see who starts next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caceres has shown glimpses of talent and has even been a match winner but he is inconsistent. I think that he needs to provide as a minimum a workhorse performance every week where he doesn't do anything spectacular but justifies his selection in the starting XI. Of course some silky smooth skills once in a while would justify the clubs faith in him. Alternatively, he could come in as a super sub and be a match winner but then he would need to do something special every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 I'm not so concerned about our abilities up front, because we have enough players to win matches, provided van 't Schip can select and manage his bench appropriately, although I don't think we will score as prolifically as last season. IMO it's the defence that is the concern, because pre-season indicates that we're going to give up a goal a game fairly readily. But the wondering is almost over. I think two tough away matches to start with will tell us a lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
