there is a decent FULLBACK at Azzurri who will do a great job..

I am thinking it's gonna be a goal fest. Throw defence out the window and just run at them all game until we knock the door down and put 4 past them.. After we have already conceded 3 ourselves.Quote:

- Sort out the communication between Jackson and Topor. Make them sleep in the same bed for the next few weeks if he needs to. They need to cover each others weaknesses better. That has been Topor and Boogs strong points this year.
Nothing too hard to work out. Let's start booking our GF tickets.
So Kanta in Boogs spot this weekend even though Brown is out to cover his midfield spot.
Not sure if I agree with this sort of tinkering so close to the finals.
Some thing had to change Jackson has looked out of sortsQuote:

Have to tinker, as the current solution isn't good enough. Even in Brown's absence, McGree could probably step into DM alongside UG (or Cowburn possibly).Quote:

Because he hasnt been mentioned as a CB at all under Merrick and there must be a good reason for thisQuote:

IVan
Toppa
Kanta
George
Urg
Mcgree/cowburn
Pato
Vargas
Dimi
Roy
That is an incredibly lazy front third.
Agreed Ronnie and Pato's lack of work rate killed us against the reds. I dont think you can have both in the same teamQuote:

Then Roy Mcgree and Dimi need to work twice has hard off the ball as well as our midfieldQuote:

Cowburn has been put in the starting 11, presumably in the midfield. Big game for him, if he impresses he could earn a spot going into the finals
