Round 13 v City

[BrisRecky]

Well, I’ve restocked my levels of hopeful, increased my intake of fingers crossed and diluted my supply of Mulvey hatred...so here’s to a resounding ...DRAW

 

[Josho Howe]

Never drinking again

Would love to see Glassock given a shot, he has parternered Aspro in the NYL maybe that will help give them some chemistry together? If Mulvey really doesn't think Golec is HAL standard at the moment then what is the harm?

How's his NYL form? And is aspro experienced enough to guide him?

Miller Melling Tom Oar

* Wonder if O’Neill would consider branding himself as a flexible defender, if he wants Socceroos he could be the next Milligan, Degenek replacement and make a statement where there is less competition for spots. He stands tall and could make a strong central defender.

* Making Miller a more dedicated wide midfielder would save his legs for a more consistent attacking role especially moving into the second half where we loose momentum.

* With our loss of momentum after 20/30 minutes I would go back to simple and use 4-4-1-1 / 4-4-2.
As the players get tired it is easier to create 2 strong lines across the pitch and slide from side to side, the simple structure will give players more confidence and sell it to the players as 3 brick wall lines that the opposition will not pass.

* As with Miller, use Pain more floating to the left as a forward to save his legs for when it counts on forward runs on through balls. With Oar back and Millar crossing, storinger, faster and more enthusiastic runs from our forwards will help meet the crosses.

* And with Pain more closer to Simon, get them to split the backs like under 12’s so goalkeeper has to clear, makes it a 60/40 chance of us gaining possession rather than 0.5% and us running round like headless chooks wasting energy!!

Just my thoughts.

Mcglinchy on for Tom - 60/70min
Murray on for Simon/Oar - 70/80min
Rowles back up Fullback

I'd rather shamwow on for Melling. Less grunt but more go forward and he hasn't made any mistakes compared to the howlers melling does.

O'Neill a CB? I don't think so.

 

[MagpieMariner]

We've got this one. I'm confident of a win. IF we can avoid red cards and penalties

And IF we can prevent the opposition having shots at goal.

O'Neill a CB? I don't think so.

Milligan isn’t the greatest player, but a lot of his career was a defender then transferred to a defensive midfield.
The Mariners often get caught with the ball and bad decision making, if O’Neill could use his quick moving ball skills to quickly spread the ball from centre back would be very useful.
And a drastic change people would take notice if we won and he was in that position would certainly at least put him on the radar for future Socceroos.

 

[Big Al]

Aiden is to often caught chopping blokes like Melling. Would not be a good defender. His timing on tackles sometimes is not very good.

He needs to stay where he is and break up play there and finally be used consistently with Tom. They’ve played like 1 game together. It wasn’t great but they need to learn to work together and we will be better off for it.

 

[Big Al]

13 games in and have we used the same backline two weeks in a row yet? Definitely not 3 if we have

 

[marinermick]

O'Neill a CB? I don't think so.

He watches players waltz past him in midfield. In defence that would be a disaster.

Does anyone else find it unusual that the boys start training today at 11am, the day before a game, in this heat?

Unusual - Yes.

Surprising - unfortunately no.

Fine if it's a kick around to famil on the ground but you wouldn't want them doing anything taxing

I could understand the results if they were and probably why they are all agro at each other
