    Only in Newy.

    2 defenders signed

    2 defenders seriously injured prior to first preseason game

    FMD

    5
    5
    5

    Just have to laugh about it and go back to drawing board

    On a positive would appear our Chinese Marquee search is opening up in scope.
    Should be able to look at players in 4-5 positions soon

    Cowburn's a midfielder forced out to LB.
    Hoole was awful there.
    Jackson is a CB forced out to LB.
    Alessi was a versatile signing who could play across the back if needed.

    Who is our LB that isn't someone forced out of position?

    For some perspective, of course.

    Well that's your opinion but clearly Miller thinks Cowburn isn't a stop gap LB considering he played seemingly rates him in the top 3 Fullbacks in the comp.

    But sorry to derail your posts so will let you get back to the sky is falling and all.

    It's all good, no torn ligaments or anything... someone connected with him studs up, apparently.

    Might still be broken though.

    And regarding that article... it's not hard to be better than the likes of Manny Muscat or whatever NPL player is at the coast
    I think Cowburn is fantastic but it's not his natural position and if Vujica is injured, my point was more that our cover and depth is continuing to dwindle.

    It also does throw up opportunity for Miller to sign someone else.

    You never know the injury replacement may cut the mustard and we re sign them in the future

    Bit of a test for Ledman to see whether they will fund the injury replacement or go without like the FFAil done last season with Labi

    There is bugger all quality u20 Aust LB's. It was why I could pick out Vujica out as a potential signing because its a small list. It certainly wasn't from my knowledge of the Croatian youth leagues. My guess is they won't replace Allessi as the club have enough cover at RB/CB. If Vujica were long term injured they might or they might just wait until we need someone.

    Realistically u20's are not signed because we need them but rather because we have to. If they become useful and can crack the HAL team then thats a bonus but otherwise they are playing NYL.

    We are signing another 3 players. 23 man squad is plenty of depth.

    I see us lining up like

    Hoff-----Boogs---------Mullen------Cowburn

    ------------Poljak------Ugarkovic

    Hoole-----------------------------------Brown
    ----------------Nordstrand

    -----------------Visa Striker

    Res

    Duncan
    Jackson
    Kanta
    Clut
    Haliti

    Yeah but our left back doesn't have to be U20.
    We have to have 3 U20s in any position.

    How about we find a solid left back and pick up some U20 player elsewhere in the squad
