Nate Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 no Maclaren or Delbridge, but I'm still confident we won't give Wellington their first point for the season. 10k attendance, bring it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovan Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Good opportunity for Mr Warmfarts to come up with solution. Maclaren had been the difference in all our games played, the 2 that he had no influence, Rd1 int duty and Cup final well marked we struggled. So a period without him could be just what we need long term, give Najjar 2 or 3 games and who knows we could be saying Jamie who? Most Likely a 0:0.

belaguttman Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Wellington are playing some good football, they've been unlucky as the results don't reflect their performance. This is just the sort of banana skin that causes problems for us, Maclaren or no Maclaren, and a great chance to cement cultural change 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellydrum Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) Old city would dominate the game but lack the final ball and finish without Jamie. Wellington sit back and counter, scoring from their only chance of the game. Need the boys to maintain the spirit shown yesterday, and for our attackers to step up and score.

He's about a Germano away from playing. All that optimism from last games result now gone with the McLaren injury. Hoping Najar starts and can grab one, otherwise it'll be up to our wingers (noone in particular) to score. 0-0 all draw I'm picking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted October 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) Luna - Wales - Noone Genreau - Brillante Griffiths Jamieson - Good - Windbichler - Galloway Bouzanis Wales was actually pretty decent before being tactically subbed. He'll re-find his finishing touch soon enough if he keeps finding himself in the positions he does. Also hoping either one of Luna or Cabrera starts as Wellington is as good a team as any to actually see what the two Uruguayans are made of.

Brillante stays so one of Griffiths or Genreau drop out for Metcalfe but that would be harsh. Defence is an easy one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he might go with Griffiths as the #6 and Brillante and Metcalfe as 2 #8s. Upfront I think he will stay with Noone on the right and Wales on the left as the inverted wingers to give Galloway and Jamieson the space and I think he might try Genreau or Luna as a sort of false 9 or advanced #10.

johnno cpfc Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 From what i saw on Sunday i think Genreau should get a start he was very good going forwards and as we saw gave a great assist for the first goal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 I've been thinking about this all day (yes my job is highly exciting) and I'm playing Wales over Najjar up front. Wales has the pace like maclaren to get in behind Taylor and Devete, meaning our game plan shouldn't change too much Noone has to stay on the right, he looked good on that side and the Wellington LB was all at sea when Ikonomidis ran at him last week. That leaves a spot on the left, for either Luna, Cabrera or Najjarine I guess I'm keeping the midfield the same as last week, Genreau was too good not to give him another start Defence is straight forward, Windbichler replaces Delbo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXIOM Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 If Najjar doesn't start it says one of two things. 1. ERIK Capone doesn't rate him..or 2. ERIK Capone doesn't rate him. Then if Joesy is our only 9 option we are screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 We will create chances with our style of play but it's a matter of finishing them. We're losing the league's best finisher for a month, so we need to manufacture very good (high xG) chances if we want to maintain our GF average because I can't see too many goals coming from Wales and Najjar with the chances we've been making. I note that only one match has had more than two goals scored by one team so far and that the highest winning margin has only been one goal. Teams are defending quite well this year.

pattyd89 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Craig Noone is key here I think. I think it comes down to mentality as well. In the FFA Cup run in particular against NPL teams - he must have come in with the mindset of these guys are minnows, I'll dominate. The goals scored were pretty much all outside the box shots. I can't really remember any outside of the box shooting in the A League games. Think he just needs to start thinking he's a notch above again and take "audacious" shots - ie. in a good position outside the box and top corner. Unless the gaffer has instructed to walk the ball in the net... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Hack Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 I'd give it 15 mins before Griff snots Taylor in the mouth. Not bad thnking though gives a tall option for crosses in. And you know Griff will shoot not play fancy buggers. Cabrera looks like back from injury he could be the sub for Luna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
