heart1011 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 There wasn't too many other options to bring on. We should get a few of the younger boys back this week now that they unfortunately got knocked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Hack Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Bench was Berenguer who Rado said is still suffering the effects of his hamstring, Galloway, Reis who had a headknock from last week, Hall, Hogan who is a NPL forward but I don't think is a start up and Period who is a NPL midfielder. Flo and Scotty came on then Reis. Hall's a defender so there's only the two kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a few more options for the bench against Macarthur... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really doesn't make sense to pull the trigger on him so early into his temporary coaching tenure...

He inherited a ripper squad who was on a good run of form. When Rado first took over we continued to play the way we were playing under PK. Fast flowing high possession, high pressure football. The only difference the first few games was Rado would actually make subs! The last 4 games or so we have honestly started to play exactly how we played under Joyce. Come out the blocks firing the first 10-15 mins but fail to capitalise. Then we go a goal down and struggle to peg one back.. I really hope we can turn this run of form around and bounce back after the break! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Leckie, VdV have sustained injuries and Nabbout, JMac, Berenguer, Good have all had injuries or are playing with injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted Monday at 12:00 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 12:00 AM But we've got an academy that's producing players. Rado is doing exactly the same as PK - has young players on the bench but almost never do they get on the field. So when the shit hits the fan and we have injuries we do not have the replacements ready. But on the subject of injuries, sometimes I do wonder. Berenguer has a "minor niggle." In my terminology "niggle" is minor in the first place, so "minor niggle" is minor-minor. Worth sacrificing a Premiership for? Yeah, I only played village football. Half the team carried so much strapping they could barely walk onto the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the team carried so much strapping they could barely walk onto the field. I tend to agree with you. As I have said, unless Rafa was not available for other reasons, I would have had him on the bench and most likely playing a good 20 minutes. In previous games he should have had at least 10. The mid-field maybe a little harder but in defence I would have had Stokes as well. Actually, instead of Reis, I would have moved Talbot to play alongside Good and Calloway on the right. Reis on the bench and to come on as a sub. Stokes may play 10 minutes or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torn Asunder Posted Monday at 06:11 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:11 AM If we did away with our yips in front of goal we'd have won that game 3 times over ... especially if we scored first. They parked the bus, and welded up shop like in Mad Max 2. Our issue at the moment is not tactics. Its squad depth and player availability through injury, and like i said ... the yips in front of goals!! The big problem is that these problems could cost us the plate as Adelaide and WSW look to be on a hot streak ... the tards are also on the mend, so our catch up game against them could be difference (so it becomes the only thing they have to play for ... gonna be huge). Be great is we grabbed a proven striker on an injury loan ... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be great is we grabbed a proven striker on an injury loan ... The problem, at the moment, is that Leckie, Berengeur and Van der Venne are out; that's quite some loss of attacking power and experience. Florin is struggling to stay fit long enough to regain his form of last season. JMac is carrying an injury and is down on pace and accuracy so just isn't scoring regularly. The coaching issue though is that the balance of the team has shifted; we are now committing more players forward so are vulnerable to counter-attacking teams. We seem particularly vulnerable on the second ball in attacking transition, this is always when good opponents counter-press and force a turnover, and by this stage, our backline is easy to overload. This also is a problem defending set pieces, again, the second pass is often when we lose possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
