n i k o Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) Surely an unchanged lineup besides Budznski out. La Rocca has to stay in defence as does Jako in midfield. Show some faith and play the youngster Pierias in right back. Should he struggle then move Jako in central defense and Bort to right back.

playmaker Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Arzani on the left, bench Mauk and Kamau, Bud CAM, bring on Mauk for Bud and Kamau for the wide player that is tired. Kamau has quite an impact off the bench. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I would like Mauk to play a more attacking role though and yet Bud needs games in his natural position to see if he is the real deal as we shouldn't have our marquees on the pine. Tough decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst Malik has been stiff with his reds he copped, at the end of the day hes had two and Brattan has stepped up, in the second halves at least. If Wazza is consistent, which i believe he is, then its Brattan's spot to lose now. Same goes with Bouzanis. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n i k o Posted December 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 In reality it'll probably be Bort, Jako, La Rocca, Jamieson in the back with Malik, Brattan and Mauk in the midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that ends up being the case. You would think there is enough cover for Tongyik to get a start in there in replacement of LaRocca Anyway with how the senior team played against Newcastle and how comprehensively the youth team won you’d hope a couple of them would get a start at least most likely Tongyik and Arzani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woth noting that the youth still conceded twice. In fact imo we'd be more likely to select Atkinson if we look to replace Manny without a reshuffle. I think Arzani gets minutes this week, but Kamau will start after a pretty good second half. As much as we'd all like to give the kids a crack, I'm really not sure how we fit them in given the likes of Killa aren't even in the squad.

In a recent presser Joyce was quite clear about how Rui needs to improve his defensive work. IMO the front runners (no pun intended) are Najjarine, Genreau, Crowley and Arzani (in no particular order). It is hard to get them included. To do so means Joycey has to drop underperforming players such as Budski and Cahill, and that's a tall order at this stage of the season. If we were down in the basement yes, but when a point off second that would be a bold decision by any manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh exactly, I'm not sure people appreciate how it looks if your marquee is dropped out of the squad completely for some no name kid with barely a appearance to their name. Look i dont think cahill is anywhere near being dropped altogether; its a tough gig to come off the bench when you're playing up front and he's well and truly got the credits in the bank. IMO Bud is a much greater chance of finding himself out all together; he's been given plenty of opportunity, even if not in his preferred position, and basically has nothing to show for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playmaker Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) In lieu of the high probability that Cahill has thrown his toys out of the cot and is not a long term player, Wazza needs to give Budzinski/ Carusca game time in their natural position as we need to get them firing for when Bruno is back. Maybe play Bort as RB and have Mauk and Brattan DMs and have Azarni LM and have Fitzgerald in is natural RM position. Kamau as an impact sub. The beauty of having Bort RB is that if we are up by the middle of the second half we can transition to a back 5 and bring Genreau and Kamau on to beat them with speed the on right side on the break.

MXG Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 We can only dream that a quick young striker will substitute Ross in the second half. Any opposition manager knows that Timmidonna will be up and ready for his promotional appearance at the end of the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerine Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Under no circumstances should Bart be moved.

In a recent presser Joyce was quite clear about how Rui needs to improve his defensive work. My take on that interview was that Tongyik will be leaving in January. When asked if he had a future (with another central defender arriving) he said “yes, but I wouldn’t tell you if it was no”. Seems clear Tongyik will this be the 5th choice centre back at that point and unless Wazza has another plan to play s defender elsewhere (God help us) then he’ll need a team bus crash to get a game. On top of that Wazza was quite clear that someone had to leave to make room for Delbridge. I’d say that’s Kilkenny and Tongyik, plus possibly Genreau.

He's barely spent long enough on the pitch to tell Budski has spent long enough on the pitch and is underperforming in the role that we've given him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
