We'll have a go, we'll probably lose, but I sense I'll walk away thinking we genuinely tried.

Yes, this is something like a non-league club in a cup-tie. We won't be favoured to win, so get out there, show some bottle and make the fans proud of you whatever the result.

neio Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Is there a chance Brisbane could play a weaker side now? I thought that they would split their main players 50/50 between 2 games, but now they may go a little harder on Wednesday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartOfCity Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) 18 hours ago, jw1739 said: IMO we just have to throw numbers into defence. My English non-league team had an away match in the FA Trophy over the weekend and earned a home replay by playing 5 at the back in the closing stages. GK: Sorensen; Defenders: Retre, Franjic, Tongyik, Colazo; MF: Kilkenny, Arzani, Caceres; Front: Kamau, Crowley, Fitzy. Game plan should be just to choke them with numbers at the back, and then break quickly on the counter. There are alternatives to the above that involve Rose. I like this, lets play them the way the Bambi plays us "anti" style. Full bus parked in the box with Fitzy and Kamau getting ready for the counter, not sure Bruce can score but Fitzy has shown he can.

neio Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 While our team is weakened it's not completely terrible Kilkenny and Franjic are top 5 in the league in their position Sorenson has undoubted experience Caceras, kamau, Fitzgerald, Tongyik have all shown they are very capable at the level Retre is a squad player who isn't useless All the young guys are mostly unproven It's not terrible, hopefully we can get some form of result 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belaguttman Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 According to Dave Davutovic the FFA has rung City to say that Beath made an error and that Cahill should have been shown a yellow card rather than a red but that there is no rule that allows it to be reversed! If this is true then he should have been allowed on the pitch in the derby and also should have been available for this game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt50 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 It's the same rule its always been with a red card. If the ref issues a yellow for an incident, its deemed to have been dealt with and can't be taken up by the MRP. Likwise, if a red card is issued to something that is a yellow card offence but an offence still occured, again it is deemed to have been dealt with and can't be rescinded. Exactly the same as the O'Donovan one a couple weeks ago. 2 minutes ago, Jovan said: Get ready for all FFA City slurs.

Yep. Red card = mandatory one game ban. It can only be rescinded if its clear there was no offence took place ie. Berisha example. Tim's offence did take place, and even though it may have been harsh to issue a red, he is still guilty of the offence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Beath is an incredibly average referee (although who isn't this season) and whilst I completely agree with what Cahill said in this instance, abusing a ref is a red and he deserves his ban. I'm excited to see us try something different, maybe even try Colazo up front since he's been average everywhere else idk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 1 hour ago, Heart of Melbourne said: Kilkenny and Tongyik should play CB There is merit to this. Tongyik is a talented kid but he looks out of sorts at times. Kilkenny's marshalling is second to none and he'd be an effective leader of the backline. We'd miss his defensive ability a little further up the pitch. He seldom loses the ball as a number six, and replacing his skills there would be difficult.

Rose played his last season at CCM there. Would st least provide experience next to Tongyik, instead of s youth kid. Can't imagine a clean sheet though with those 2 in the middle & we'd still have to find a left back. if we player Killer there who fills the gap at #6?
