haz Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Tbh, pretty confident of this one. WSW dont look too good struggling agaisnt lower NPL teams, we'll be at home, and our squad is much better on paper. But we will need to score more then one goal this game. If WSW score, from the past two game its going to be hard for us to grab two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haz Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) Pretty happy with our cup progress so far considering we have beaten two HAL opposition. Both who IMO have had better pre-season preparation than us. If we beat WSW easily, surely we would become favorites?

haz Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Chances of De Laet making the bench? He surely would be fit enough, and we're playing at AAMI too so we won't be on some dodgy NPL pitch. I'd expect Berenguer to start or at least get a good 30 mins too (but has anyone seen him in any training photos?).

I would like to see all 5 visas on the field at the same time to see what they bring to the team. This means WJ would have to start at least 2, that is not a problem as I expect Bart and Bruno to start every match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silva10 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 I would expect Joyce to play our strongest possible team. By all accounts De Laet was playing in pre-season games for Villa and should be fit enough to start. Berenguer has been signed for a couple of weeks and could start.

The only reason I can see him not starting is due to "getting used to the Australian pitches" which I think is a BS excuse. I haven't seen any training pics of Berenguer but @IssySG said that all VISAs were training the other day. I expect minimum three to start against WSW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree De Laet should start as he has a pre-season in him. MOH been here over a month and still to start a competitive game. He did start the friendly this week. If that is WJ yard stick it will be a couple of more weeks before Berenguer starts. Did he get any game time against Adelaide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inchcolm Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Team and formation for the match. Joyce seems very much rigid in his formation 4:2:3:1 He has consistently chosen; Fornaroli as striker, McGree Wales and Vidosic as the attacking midfielders. I assume he will keep the same attackers. However, he did play O’Halloran in the friendly game; he was involved in both goals so may have a chance of displacing one of them. He again is fixed with his defensive midfield pairing Brattan and Griffiths. The back four is where he tends to vary his selection Bart and Jamieson look to be first choices. That leaves in my opinion two places for Atkinson and DeLaet or Malik and De Laet. Goalkeeper selection from two Birightitti or Galekovic I would like to see this team start ………...……..Fornaroli Vidosic……..McGree..….O’Halloran ..........Brattan……Griffiths Jamieson….Bart….DeLaet….Atkinson …………...….Birighitti I am assuming Birighitti is match fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I've seen Joyce is a stock standard 433. And his midfield 3 is the conservative 2 holding and 1 attacking but his attacking is more as the closing down than creative. He likes wide players. So I think De lite and Birighitti won't play and only because they haven't been here long enough and possibly your boy will start. Delbridge hasn't done anything wrong and going on last season he will get played until he has to be replaced. And Malik will always start. So the way I see it we will line up like this. Vidosic Fornaroli O'Halloran Mcgree Brattan Griffiths Jamo Bort Malik Delbridge Galekovic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) Quote [Question:] Do you think you'll use Ritchie mostly as a right-back this season? [Joyce:] I know what he'll give in a variety of positions, you know so you're comfortable in playing him in a whole range of positions because he's played centre-half in the Premier League, he's played right-back in the Premier League, he's played left-back, he can play midfield, he can play wide...versatility is key in a salary capped league, I think I was weary that Ritchie maybe hasn't really been a CB in the past, and wouldn't be one for us. But it looks like this Joyce answer puts that concern to bed: Ritchie is pretty much a marquee CB for us Edited September 18, 2018 by Murfy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
