R17: Brisbane Roar vs Mariners, in Brisvegas

[dibo]

We're ripe for a classic against the odds, backs to the wall smash and grab. Matty Simon to score early, and then we cling on for dear life.

Central Coast Mariners Squad:1. Justin PASFIELD (Gk), 2. Daniel MCBREEN, 3. Joshua ROSE, 4. Marcel SEIP, 5. Zachary ANDERSON, 6. Brent GRIFFITHS, 7. John HUTCHINSON (C), 8. Nick MONTGOMERY, 9. Mitchell DUKE, 11. Nick FITZGERALD, 12. Liam REDDY (Gk), 13. Hayden MORTON, 15. Storm ROUX, 16. Trent SAINSBURY, 17. Anthony CACERES, 19. Matt SIMON, 20. Bernie IBINI, 21. Mile STERJOVSKI
**Two to be omitted**

i bet you i can guess who the "two to be omitted" will be...

 

[dibo]

And the remaining 16 are literally all the fit and contracted players left over. If anyone hurts themselves in the warmup, they can't even be dropped from the bench.

hutch has to come in with the experience of mcbeen gone. caceres has to play and is the only one truly capable of 10 (fitzy did play a few half games pre season here well though)

Most likely line up…

------------------ Reddy ------------------
Roux --- Anderson --- Griffiths --- Rose
---------- Monty -------- Hutch ----------
-Sterj ----------- Caceres ------------ Fitzy
------------------- simon ------------------

ibini, duke, seip, morton, pasfield

 

[Roy Law]

Still looks like a great side to me. COYY

Caceras is a dm.

Caceras in for Hutch. Hutch to bench.
Sterj into #10, Ibini to rw.

Hang on AM, that means you're not Mrs H either! Curiouser and curiouser...

Caceres is currently playing DM but he is great number 10. When Flores did his ACL Moss said he would cover the spot in the short term with Mcbreen and Caceres. Now McBreen is gone Caceres is the logical choice.

The only downside I can see Caceres playing #10 is the workload in defence but he has put in some good solid games in the past 2 weeks so I think he will be fine.

Might not be a 'natural 10' but he is very good there and by far the best option until a first choice arrives

 

[tsd]

And there is no way the captain sits on the bench after a day like today

 

[dibo]

Yeah, I think you're right. It's going to be important that someone goes out there and shows that we're still the business and nobody f**ks with us.

Hmmmm...I think he may have been but has sheepishly pulled his head in like you Dibo when the last two games have proved what any student of the game could have told you.

Our best available starting 11

Reddy
Storm ando griff2 rose
Ibini Monty. Caceras. Fitzy
Simon. Duke

an out field of 7 kids and 3 adults?

What???


That is our best 11,
Who are the 7 kids?
You have a better RB and cb?
Only caceras is new to our midfield.
Simon and duke is a quality strike force if allowed to both play as strikers.

Your post is pointless?

An out field of Mariners.

Like Dibo, I call it as I see it, on form, not on pet hates nor playing favorites.

Hutch has never been as bad as you continually make out nor is Caceras as brilliant (yet) as others seem to think.

Last week the dm combination of Monty and Caceras worked well and I would like to see it again.

I have not and will not "sheepishly pulled my head in". That is your interpretation, and shows your judgement of character is as good as your judgement of players' form.

As for Mrs H, she is probably Mrs H.

I still maintain Hutch is the best DM we've got. Caceres is in some form, Monty's going alright, it was always going to be a rough call to displace them after Hutch lost his spot to suspension and we had a win.

It's brave of you to assume that on the strength of two games that my assessment of the players has changed enormously. I've been watching football long enough to know that two games doesn't tell you all that much.
