Sec Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Might be not the right place to ask...

Brattan does dwell on the ball and its an opportunity for opponents to force a turnover, however in his defence he often keeps the ball too long because of poor player movement off the ball and there's no passing options 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt50 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Not unsurprising; he had a good first 4 games and theres not really anyone to replace him until Brandan is ready. PS Before anyone goes on about Brandan being ready but not selected cos Wazza doesnt like him, i dont really buy that because he'd be at very least on the bench if he was ready given the wings (or at least scoring from them) seem to be our biggest issue at this point in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt50 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 I appreciate the Arzani call; i even had him in that team above, although tbh thats more of a what id like to see than what i think will happen. He's been called into the squad so I think he may well feature off the bench at least tonight. I have my doubts whether Joyce will actually start him given he hasnt made a sub appearance yet though.

jw1739 Posted December 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 In some ways I don't mind Joyce sticking with the team that he started the season with. For the moment. But the period from now until Christmas is key. If at Christmas we're further off the pace being set, especially by Sydney, then IMO it will be time to look at blokes like Crowley, Genreau, Arzani and Najjarine and give them game time. Otherwise we will finish the season, there'll be another upheaval with a significant number of senior players leaving as well as some of the young ones. And the merry-go-round will start again. IMO we need some inter-season stability at City, otherwise we'll never build anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jovan Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) With that team selection we are done before we start. Can see a 3 or 4 goal loss. I've avoided posting as I can't think of anything positive but we are well and truly gone. Budzinski better do a Koren hat trick and McCormack better start to be more than a deadball specialist. We are going to cop a battering and the main reason is we will get dominated in the middle. I just can't believe this shit. Edited December 2, 2017 by Jovan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the JVS glory days he wouldnt have come up with this. Now the entire previous assumption is just that and obviously a completely different scenario could play out but I cannot work out wtf is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
