Mariners Squad 2023/2024

I made a comment a while back about a change to formation, mainly going to a back 5 with wing backs that push right up in attack, with the Smith and Doka announcements, I think this would be a very dangerous to the opposition. Back 3 of Kaltak, Faz and Hall/Roux

An added formation would be nice but I wouldn’t expect it. Monty’s version of 442 is so tried, tested and proven at this point. It has variations during a match that help when we’ve been figured out too.

Not least as Niz is at his best when breaking right. There'd be less opportunity for that if he was being overlapped all the time by a wingback.

Can't see it, but to the amazement of all... I have been wrong before.

Wrong-ish perhaps...

playing with extra defenders would undermine our primary defensive pattern of pressing in the opposition half

From memory he'd claimed the LW starting spot until injury ended his season.

He built a great combo with Faz till one of them got injured.

Rowdy. Is that you mate? ?

I find a visa RB very interesting.

I haven’t watched the league as long as you guys but can’t think of any LB or RB of a visa variety really tearing up the league or being better than a local.

That said he seems to be a Tulio clone (played for big club with lots of talent) and we were so RB dominant when we had Miller in Monty season 1 that i can see a replica of that.

Smith was very smooth with the ball at his feet while McGarry was more powerful but both more attacking and still gives us the attack, defend option of Smith then Faz as we did with McGarry

Then depending on how the attack goes this year you could push Smith higher later in the game

 

[Ironbark]

Happy with both signings

 

[Wombat]

I saw a reel of the Brazillian FB. Instant fan favourite this kid.

Squad filler for me but did impress when given a run further up the park. McGarry did very well for us but i still prefer Faz.
Now we just need another starting CB a bit lively.

We have Hall, Kaltak and Paull as CB's with Faz as cover.
Personally I'd give Windust a go but I'm not a top tier coach so will trust Monty on this.
For every Patrick you get a Siep or a Bosnar.

It's a difficult position to have a clear impact on, I think probably the best visa full back would have been Jerome Polenz in the Wanderers first season.

James McGarry attracts Aberdeen FC transfer interest

The New Zealand international could partner Slobodan Rubezic and Or Dadia in a new look Aberdeen defence

Cassio, Adelaide United legend. Great player

Forgot about him, definitely hell of a player.

I keep seeing faz and sir brian as our starting cb's

I have a BiL who is Indo, his name is Jimmy Kater (Carter) because they loved the US president so much.

Is he related to Jakarta

 

[style_cafe]

With Noah smith signing again, I think it means 100% that James McGarry is gone too, no way we’d keep 3 left backs in the squad

Smitty could be the Beni replacement.. just saying

 

[style_cafe]

Likes to run at defence and score as well. This has me excited, going with the anyone can score from anywhere theme from last season. Makes for exciting play.

Also @priorpeter maybe you need to run with the goaaaaaaaaaal announcement whenever our Brazilians score?!! (Maybe not!)

Sounded like a PP commentry after about 36 dozen beers…
