De Laet will hopefully be back in RB, though Atkinson can feel pleased with his performance and deserves his call up. I'd love to have Genreau back in our squad TBH. A player I rate, from what I've seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its time for subs at half time. Ramy and Metcalfe well and truly up to it IMO and should be given more minutes to ready us for finals depth. Pity Pieras has gone to Western United. I think he will lose his spot on the Bench to Ramy as a result.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Birighitti De Laet/Schenkeveld/Good/Jamieson Brattan/Griffiths/Baccus Berenguer Maclaren/Harrison I'd like to see a 4-3-1-2, which would give us plenty of control in the middle but would require De Laet and Jamieson to provide width by making plenty of attacking runs. But Joyce will go with a 4-4-2 and play Brattan and Berenguer wide. He'll probably go with Galekovic too.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both wide players, Iannucci, 17, was a part of City’s pre-season tour of India while Dukuly, 15, made his debut for City’s senior NPL side as 14-year-old after being recruited from South Australia.

A source close to the expansion side has confirmed to dailyfootballshow.com that City teenager Dylan Pierias is set to join the club for their first year in the A-League. I think Joyce has made his decision about excluding Pieras as soon as the article of the 14th came out. Why CFG didnt lock Pieras down sooner boggles my mind. Joyce will put these two kids on the bench to reignite the "youth get a go at city " mantra while trying as best they can to have everyone forget about Pierias and the fact that he got no game time under Joyce at all.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
