3-5-2 could provide a solution of sorts but it doesn’t come without its own risks. I think this is why we have seen a number of different formations in pre-season, in that MMM is still working out what suits the team best.

Its called depth, something we have not seen for many seasons.

Jeez, another winger?

Perhaps MM thinks the more wings we have, the better we fly?

Re Gallegos, I note from the article that he trialed for 2 months with Sydney and scored in their first trial match. Would be a visa player. Allegedly decent but you are right, another winger??

I thought he was an attacking mid ??? .............. maybe competition for mcglinchy’s spot or rotation ............. that would be nice.

Maybe MM is looking to unload Hoole?

Never heard of this Gallegos but l think we're sorted with wingers and Oar and McCormack would finish off the squad nicely. Not sure what we need him for.
Also he would take our only remaining visa spot if McCormack is confirmed, so he would need to be bloody good.

He might be up mm’s sleeve in case mc cormack doesn’t eventuate ???? .......... or oar.
It would mean we wouldn’t be up the creek without an oar.

True, although Alex Sanchez from Olympic might be a better option.
Looking at the squad would say Mike is building around a 3 5 2 or 5 3 2 formation depending on your slant. If we are going to play with wingbacks and expect them to do a lot of up and down then having replacements on the bench makes sense which is why I am guessing we have a number of wide players on the books, will probably use 4 per game as when the 2 starters are gassed we will replace from the bench.

Turns out we are playing 2 games tomorrow. 1 against North Shore l am guessing in the afternoon and of course against CCU at 7pm. Squad depth to be tested.
Get 90mins into the legs instead of the chop and change?
