Murfy1 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) A-League: five things to look out for in round 16 Paul Connolly 5 February 2015 [...] The Chapman Effect Rob Wielaert may not agree in this instance but you’ve got to enjoy quirky statistics while they last. So consider this: since former Newcastle Jet Connor Chapman replaced Wielaert in City’s central defence back on 7 December (a week after City’s slack-jawed 5-1 loss at the Phoenix) City have won four and drawn one of five matches. The one time since then that Chapman didn’t play (when John van’t Schip cunningly decided to rest him ahead of the A-League going on a month’s hiatus) City lost 2-0 to the Central Coast. Wielaert, as it happens, played that game, back in central defence with Paddy Kisnorbo. As convenient as it would be to blame Wielaert for City’s poor start to the season, the Heart’s form last year and, while we’re looking for scapegoats, the death of Harold Holt, it’s clear City’s resurgence has more to do with just the shift of Chapman to central defence in his stead. City’s good run has also coincided more or less with the belated appearance of Robbie Koren, the fine form (and four goals) of midfield rock Aaron Mooy and useful contributions across the park, including those of Ben Garuccio at left-back and emerging midfielder Jacob Melling, a young man as combustible as polyester pyjamas. So, really, Wielaert shouldn’t be damned by statistics just yet. In any case, the Chapman Effect will be tested vigorously in the weeks ahead as City play Victory, Wellington, Perth and Adelaide. Saturday night’s match against Victory — who’ll play without the suspended Mark Milligan and injured Matthieu Delpierre — at Etihad will be particularly tough. Not only are Victory still smarting after conceding two late goals in their last match to draw away at leaders Perth, but they’re last start derby losers, City dispatching them 1-0 in injury-time. We’ve every reason to expect an entertaining game. http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/feb/06/a-league-five-things-round-16 Edited February 6, 2015 by Murfy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattyd89 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 The Chapman Effect: it's because he plays forward balls. and isn't scared to make forward runs, much in the same vein as Trent Sainsbury. Kisborbo and Weileart end up passing it to each other, then when they get shut down they either pass it to Hoffman or previously Ramsay at LB, who are both useless at getting the ball up. At least Chapman plays forward balls which then hit Paartarlu or Mooy, and in Mooy's case you have the ball in the correct guy's feet to knock it in dangerous areas.

markn Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Played well in the second half. I have no idea what his role was in the first. 5 Defenders ??????????????? What are you doing JVS????????? Maybe his lack of a direct role in the first half led him to push up, leaving the Adelaide attacker free for the first goal.

perthheart Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Thought the derby and Wellington away he had a shocker. But a deserving nomination on balance across the season so far. Kids going to be a beast. Hopefully now with CFG we can hold on to the likes of Melling and chapman longer than we would have with Sidwell flogging any youth off at the first sign of dollars.

mattyh001 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Melbourne City's Connor Chapman earns A-League gong http://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/melbourne-citys-connor-chapman-earns-aleague-gong-20150306-13wzpw.html Melbourne City defender Connor Chapman has been rewarded for his sharp start at the A-League club with February's Young Player of the Month award. Signed in the off-season from Newcastle, Chapman had to wait for his chance in the first team after contracting glandular fever before round one. His first match in a City shirt brought the club's first clean sheet of the season, and Chapman hasn't looked back. He has formed a tough and tight partnership with experienced centre back Patrick Kisnorbo, earning four clean sheets in 10 matches. "In defence, me and Patty have been pretty strong, with the back four," he said. The 20-year-old was keen to thank his teammates for contributing to his good form. "The more games I get, the more confident I get and, hopefully, the better I get. "This is a good achievement but I can't get too ahead of myself. "We've been working pretty hard lately and (the award) is one of the added bonuses." Chapman's junior club, Moorebank Sports Club, receives a $1500 equipment pack and $1000 from NAB as part of the award. Melbourne City play Central Coast on Sunday in Gosford. really stoked for the kid. Edited March 6, 2015 by mattyh001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I reckon the transfer fees we will demand for our talented players will take the A League to a new level. No more $500,000 to one million dollars being a good fee.
