Mariners V Roar

[ryan]

For me Josh Nisbet is the most underrated player in the comp. I have no idea why he is not starting if he is not injured.

Sometimes it’s squad rotation or rewards for training but also can be a chance to practice via playing with different combinations. You don’t want to play with the same two Ballard/Niz every game and then get to the finals and one can’t play for whatever reason and it throws the team out of sync. So swapping here and there can have benefits that way.

Also we haven’t been playing well so why not try it and it’s the Mariners way.

I think when push comes to shove Niz will be restored.

We also need to see if Steele is going to be good enough for the future or the best way to improve is to start

lots of reasons but I think Niz and Ballard will be the finals mids.

I agree, when he is not playing our attacking force is significantly diminished. He's one of our few positive forward looking mids and does a lot of defensive works as well. Proper box to box. The only thing he lacks is confidence in his shooting ability.

Farrell is expected to be back for this match.

Roux - Triantis - Faz - McGarry

Beni - Balard - Niz - Theohaurus

Silvera - Cummings

I think Harry has a future. Just needs to establish a consistent level of performance which can take youngsters a while to do. Ballard's consistency this season has been much better.

 

[priorpeter]

Balard - not Ballard.

I think Ballard is adequate but he is no Bozanic. Steele...well I don't think he is up to A league. I hope they are temporary stop gaps and not a long term feature of the squad

Thank F**k they are both not like Bozanic.
Give them time to mature Bozanic wasn`t a star at the same age either.

 

[priorpeter]

Saying Steele is not up to A-League is just wrong, and calling both he and (particularly) Balard “stop gaps” is frankly insulting.

 

[Corsair]

Balard - not Ballard.

Who said Ballard?! (Me before an edit )

 

[scottmac]

If Kaltak Triantis and Fazz are available then Fazz starts only if he is fit enough to play left back. Otherwise he's on the bench and replaces McGarry or a CB at some stage

What makes you believe Monty will go to a back three?

OK, perhaps not the best example, hes not a Gumps, Monty, Hutch, Hiariej, Brama, Duric.....the list goes on.

Meh.

I don’t, I’m just dreaming.

Feel it uses our best weapons at the moment.
As well as strengthening our chances of stopping g counter attack.

Helping the best of both worlds with our current problems.

Both signed 3 year deals last season

Hopefully we get our first glimpse of DWH in Mariners colours against the Roar.
