ALM Round 4 - Mariners v Roar 5pm Sunday 12th

[Meerkat]

Might need to do a Nix and batten the hatches and defend for our lives. Doubt we have it in us for much else.

The team sheet looks like quite the opposite.

Ha. Glad you’re not the coach.

At home, need a win. Being defeatist and playing for a draw would be terrible for morale. So is losing. But they’re not mutually exclusive either.

We just need to take our chances and be more focused in defence.

 

[Hello Sailor]

By all means attack, but our transition to defence is wanting and have been beaten too often on the counter.

 

[FFC Mariner]

We will do very well to get anything out of this.
We can't keep a clean sheet and they play Montyball

We will revisit this after tomorrow. Don’t disagree with you in the slightest, however if we get smashed, you might be thinking this could have at least gotten us a point.

Negative perhaps but we need to be smart. Mileusnic as rubbish as he can be will tear our backline a new one if recent form against fast players persists. Hopefully we get a bit more space to play in if we repel their raids.

 

[Tevor]

I have low expectations for tomorrow but don’t feel the season is a write off just yet. It will be monumental for this team to get something out of the game tomorrow after that mid week game.

 

[booney]

We should take a leaf out of Sydney's book and press the Roar hard.Aldred is a good CB but had a shocker last week and if Kuol and Tulio can get some combination going he might have another poor match tomorrow.It would help if we had a player of the calibre of Joe Lolley on the wing.

Time for some medication Meerkat.

After listening again to some football podcasts I really want to give Wilson another go in a preferred position and I am convinced with the players we have to transition into a stronger defensive and attacking mode we would 100% suit 4-1-4-1.

Roux————Hall———-Kaltak———-Farrell
—————————Niz——————————
Tulio————Wilson——-Ballard———Torres
————————Kuol/DWH————————


* Having Niz as extra protection as we press with 5 forward.

* When counter attacking get ball to Niz, Faz or Roux instantly to distribute to the front 5.

* Will encourage a more fluent counter attack if the boys are switched on.

* Bit Arnold style but Kuol can be Duke and chase while not compromising that first line of 4 that a pressing in motion.

Bookies have us at even odds for both teams.

We've got it in us to win this.

DWH old team, hopefully he should fire up and get one past them.

Different tactics? That's crazy talk. Do plan A better!

Seriously though, I like the idea.
