fidrildid6 Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 I am a fan of Hughes as a player when he can get on the park but Aaron HUGHES (soreness – 1 week) Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinnibari Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) I feel ok with Trifiro v Newcastle. He's had his moments. Not our best player but: it's Newcastle. Edited February 4, 2016 by Kinnibari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haz Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Trifiro has been very serviceable for us when he's played. I think we should start Retre in the midfield then bring on Trifiro around the 70th minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yep shit I forgot caceras isn't there as well Well looks like we may go back to 4-3-3 with Retre, Melling and Mooy in mid 3 and Fitzgerald or Kuzi start on right I'd start Malik at CB as he has played a lot more there than melling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may be "only" playing Newcastle but it annoys the hell out of me that we release a starting defensive half player on a free at a time when we have a lot of injuries. anyone who thinks our match day squad won't be weaker than last week is kidding themselves. As I said before on another thread, we seem to think Malik can play 2 positions at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the release wasn't MCFC's preference, I think Partaalu himself had a lot to do with it, if so we don't want him around after he may have spat the dummy as he has done before. Or another example of JVS's inability to manage players properly. Never know anyway because no one ever tells the truth anymore because it may damage their media/social media status... It would be quite refreshing for someone to actually say they couldn't stand the bloke if that was the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also how do Numbers in the A-League work? Because currently there seem to be a few vacant numbers which would indicate the FFA is not fussed with all numbers being taken... if this the case why has nobody done the Classic Late 90's One Day International Gag and chosen the mythical #69.

Red or Dead Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I reckon Hughes is more likely to play than Kisnorbo on Sunday! His name in the "Unavailable" section seems to have been left there from last week by mistake since he's also named in the 'Squad' list.

No, there is (or used to be) an upper limit. We had to get permission to retire #12 for the fans a few season ago and I think got an extra number at the time?

Other than #12 the numbers missing in our sequence of 1-33 are: 6,10,13,15,21, and 30-32 inclusive.
