[Jeterpool]

Yep. We play at 5:15 on a Friday afternoon for some unknown reason.

Great work, fixture brainiac.

At least the loss will be dealt before the weekend even starts.

[Jeterpool]

In all seriousness, I think this squad is better suited to playing as a 3-5-2 if Boogs is back this week.

Do it Deans

Do it Deans

Is that with wingbacks or wingers?

[Jeterpool]

Wingbacks.

I'd play

Keeper

Jackson - Boogs - Topor

Millar - Kanta - Stevie - Burns

Dimi

Arroyo - Thurgate

[Tommyjet]

Wingbacks.

I'd play

Keeper

Jackson - Boogs - Topor

Millar - Kanta - Stevie - Burns

Dimi

Arroyo - Thurgate

I like that, let Dimi drift to find space. Need some to bludge and stay high and wide on the right to force Cacace to reconsider going forward so much.

It's meant to be Dimi in that general central role, not specifically stuck out right - that was simply me being to lazy to format my post to put him centrally.

[StannyCFCJET]

I'd like Dimi to have a few weeks on the bench and Not sure Burns would have the engine to be a wingback

[The Dunster]

Hard to see things turning around looking at that lineup.
Kanta shouldn't even be up for selection based on how many times he's turned over the ball in the past few weeks.
Millar doesn't score enough goals to get away with how poorly he defends.
Nick Fitzgerald can't score goals, can't defend, and has absolutely no ticker. We should be promoting youth before giving him game time.
Hoffman as far as I'm concerned starts every week. He's our most versatile player and you can never question his effort. He might miss a few but his ability to find space is unmatched in this squad.
Arroyo needs a partner up front - If Kosta Petratos isn't good enough to be given the opportunity why they **** don't we just pay him out and move on ?
Thurgate is not a Striker or an 90 min player yet. We should use him off the bench.

[The Dunster]

Arroyo absolutely butchered that chance.

Back 3 is working so far but we really need avgoal scorer.

Arroyo is good for creating chances but he's not a finisher.

[MFKS]

How is Kanta in the team at the moment??

15 mins in
1 ball needlessly misplaced out for a throw in when he by passed 2 short options
Then just let's the ball go through him like an u6 player

[The Dunster]

Jackson looks to have done a knee or acl....physio calling for the curtains and a 12 gauge.

[MFKS]

The back 5 was looking good until Jackson went down injured

Typical Jets

[baldrick]

Jackson looks to have done a knee or acl.

that looked a pretty nasty injury

[Hunter403]

Today is Johhny K's day to shine!

[The Dunster]

Not sure how Katroumbis will go in this formation. It's not ecactly a like for like sub

[Hunter403]

I'm just staggered that we are 27 minutes in and haven't conceded

[The Dunster]

Hoffman fukk me you are shit son.

[MFKS]

Can't say I am surprised with Hoff there

Bloke is not a state League level attacker

[The Dunster]

Hoff should be hooked for that.
