I do hope though he gets more chances to see if hes actually good, might turn out to be another ArchieBalls though  Didnt Walker play 10+ games?

So do I, I also like what I saw from him in his limited time last season but I refuse to declare him the answer in that position until we see more of him on a consistent basis. Yeah, but that goes to show really, even 10+ games is a small sample size and tbf Walker was being hyped up before he'd hit the 10 game mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt50 Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Yeh what @Embee said. Look Pierias looked good in his one start, but theres prob a reason he hasnt been given another opportunity just yet. Im certainly not prepared to annoint him as a first XI player off one performance if the rest of the coaching staff arent, esp as they see him day in, day out at training and in intra club games. That said, hopefully he gets a few opportunities and can go on with it. Walker really only ever played one good game, the one he beat Del Piero, and was bloody average in all his others. Didnt stop people from declaring him starting XI regardless, and ignoring the far better, even if still average, form strike rates of those he was competing with.

Yea I agree with both these points. Its one of those problems that the coach has to solve "do we give this young player a chance? or should we play it safe and play the more experienced player (Muscat)". Either option could turn out bad or good. Edited September 25, 2017 by haz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One game against essentially a sub standard compromised Brisbane Roar side is does not maketh a first XI player. We now need a serious pro RB backup to Shenkenveld and Muskat, and also a LB. Christian Cavallo is not even on a contract, so doubtful he will stay with the club given it is only a week before we start. Pieras would be a disaster (no disrespect) as second choice to Jamo. Not enough experience. Is currently not even making Intra club bench. Don't think new coach rates him. JVS had a different opinion, however i agree that we need to win games not blood youngters to get headlines. If Joyce and city lose 4 on the trot Joyce will leave, players will revolt, assistants will mutiny and we will be stuffed. Full strength pros with experience only, please. Then you can tear them a new arse when they under perform. No body really wants to go to town on a young player who is thrown in the deep end and is exposed as not ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munn is just doing what he usually does by saying 'nothing to see here' and hides in his office. The only thing I can see happening if players or assistants mutiny is that heads will roll in January and one of the heads isn't Wazza's. I have no doubt CFG will back Wazza if things get nasty. Valshitis and fat mouth Mauk will be the first to get the arse IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delbridge is really highly rated by FC Cincinatti fans on Reddit, they reckon he's in the best two players at the club. It is only the US 2nd Div though, so not sure thats any better than a dominant NPLÂ player here. He appears to be more of a CB though, so i'd hazard a guess that Bort would be our RB if he was brought in, if he was able to crack the first team at all.

Multiple sources close to the situation told The Enquirer Delbridge is moving on from the Queen City and will make the jump to Melbourne City FC of the A-League, Australia's first-division league. Delbridge, a native Australia, was long considered one of FC Cincinnati's top talents and a likely candidate to move to a Major League Soccer club. Related: Some top FCC talent remains unsigned for 2018 season It's believed Delbridge has Australian national team aspirations, the sources said, and playing in his home country would increase his chances for senior national team appearances. It's also believed Delbridge's departure could trigger further FC Cincinnati personnel moves as the club revamps its roster ahead of the 2018 season. Delbridge, a fan favorite and one of the Queen City's original soccer heroes, made nearly 70 appearances in all competitions during his time with FC Cincinnati and scored four goals in league play. Delbridge was a stalwart defender and was twice voted a USL First Team selection by United Soccer League media. Melbourne City FC is coached by renowned managed Warren Joyce and has been home to some of the country's greatest players. The team's parent club is Manchester City FC of the English Premier League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
