Nik in for Dylan

So if Macca gets the automatic "Red Card" suspension we may see a straight swap.

2 Goals in the NYL shows that his finishing is "on" at the moment.

So will that leave Matty on the bench?

Or do we go back to 3 up front ???

Matt up front Nik on the bench?
Nik was carving it up in the YL, had a chance to snare the hattrick but a bit to casual in the last touch but definitly a cut above, however still doesn't want to roll the sleeves up and defend when needed.

According to the Terror, Matty got a yellow (making 5 for the season) when Dylan got his red and will be missing as well.

Yes, now the HAL site includes Matty's yellow.

FFS I wish they'd sort out this confusion with referees' reports. How are kids & newcomers supposed to be attracted to the sport if it's impossible to find out & understand what's going on?

Isn't that half the fun though??  ;D

It's fine to debate the finer points of rulings and to argue why an incident could've been seen one way or another, but it would be nice if the official HAL site could post the correct results and stats after the match, without the uncertainty of whether more cards might appear the following day. ...especially when they affect suspensions etc.

Assuming Matty and Dylan are out for NYE,

Front 2 of Saso and Disco with Adrian in behind.

Assuming fitness, I would hope to see

Danny
Porter Clarkie Wilko Pedj
Gumps Jedi Heff
Caceres
Disco Saso

(Heff at LM allows both Osman and Hutch to be dropped. I know Gumps has been shit last 2 games but I have faith in him)

Wont happen so expect Hutch as a passenger again

Probably had no idea what O'Leary was on about (who could blame them)

I looked at the site (in the match summery) just then and it doesn't have Matty's yellow on it??!?!!

Disco Nik and Sash better work very hard on their strike partnership this week if we are to overcome Perth. I agree with "coast", if Disco Nik gets 90 minutes, he will fire.

I hope that he does fire. Do we have a youth team striker that is good enough for the bench?

darko

nah, just joking

caceras would be our next option as striker followed by hutch

in a massive pinch heff has even played in that position

Hutchinson to be the striker on the bench. Not a bad idea.

Didn't Hutcho play upfront towards the end of season one?
I remember him scoring a fair few goals around that time.

Yeah he did well up front. Scored 5 or 6 from memory.  That was when we had no other option.

The option we have now is to play a quality striker who is (or should be) chomping at the bit.
We lose nothing starting Nik infact i'd start Nik alongside Simon if we play 442.
