R9 Champions v Smurfs

[true believer]

So...

Reddy
Roux-Sainsbury-Seip-Rose
Monty
McGlinchey-McBreen-Flores
Duke​

For a start that's only 10 players. For seconds, are you really suggesting we play Flores on the wing?

as long as dukes up front and starts with macka .
we need goals and I believe this is how we'll get them

 

[eenfish]

ugh, listening to the podcast, Hutch himself admitted that Flores is doing heaps of defensive work because "thats the way we want the number 10 to play"

like we get it and we appreciate it, but man if you want the most out of him get him staying forward.

 

[BrisRecky]

yep...Dooks up the pointy end with Fitzy , Flores and Wee mac getting them to him, Macca as his sub...and Matty Simon sold back to East Gosford

 

[Ancient Mariner]

The problem with Hutch being so deep though if the huge gulf between him our first out let & our next being flores. This is where the turnovers are occuring. Hutch is getting way to deep & there is a massive hole between the DM's & the AM's/Fwds.

Once hutch gets rid of the ball his role in attack is to play as part of a back three with the centre halves, thus allowing both fullbacks to go forward. It worked brilliantly last year, not least because Zwanny had the ability to switch the side of attack with one long pass. We are also missing Bernie on one wing.

Maybe without those passes, and lesser attacking options wide, and with Flores we need the wingers to work infield a bit more in attack. Glinch does this well, but often goes one touch too many.

I would like to see more "one, two" passes (or even one, two, three) between Flores and our wingers to maintain forward momentum in the attacking third.

Away again this weekend. The second week in a row. Hopefully I can find a place to watch the game.

Its fair to say that we need to win this game otherwise we are in danger of losing touch with the front runners.

No ADP - He's out according to his own twitter

World game running the tweet.

We have been very defensive trying to gel the new back four but once we have gone down a couple of goals we cranck it up. I'd rather we cranck it up a bit earlier especially at home. Happy to play first half with caution but not the 2nd

No ADP, but Despotovic is starting - and I would have rated him above ADP if they were both playing.

At least a decent ref, or at least one who we get our fair share of wins with.

 

[Gratis]

interestingly Rudan is tipping Mariners to win

 

[midfielder]

Tis no secret the Flying Circus are still hurting from the seven goals last season... they will be fired up I think we scored the last 3 goals in the final 15 mins....

 

[Ancient Mariner]

We will have to play much better than we have so far this season to get the three points. If we play like we did last week it will be very embarrassing.
