R8 away @ Nix

[Pirate Pete]

SMS fr/ CCM Sarting XI:


You've typo'd there PP, should have been:

"Unfortunately, Jacob Melling misses out due to 'our' illness."

..... because we are 'sick & fcukn tired' of him.

Yeah after I posted that I should have added Mariners Twitters words, not mine.

 

[Rowdy]

Heavy rain, lightning & thunder currently hitting Gosford.


....... the beginning of Armageddon will kick-off er, I mean .. 'begin' in approx 30 mins.

 

[Big Al]

A classic @Wombat 442?

 

[Michael]

Finally we could be given an old school simple 442 by the looks of that line up!

Praise the footy gods.
Keeping player roles as simple as possible, I think, will get us out of this mess.

For example; McGing = purely defensive FB will Millar staying wide and charging in RM.
Clisby overlapping pain who always likes to take on a man and cut inside.

Big man and small man combo up top, added bonus that the small man can get up for headers.

Krishna came off with a niggle against sfc. Any chance he won’t play / be on the bench (clutching at positive straws here)

Sure. There's also a chance that I'll win the lottery, buy the club from MC an

Man ... We're fielding an npl squad ...

 

[Rowdy]

With that starting XI, I reckon we'd fare better against the Nix playing a 4-4-2 diamond ◇ :

------------------------ Pearce -------------------

--- Millar ---- Cisse --- Rowles ---- Clisby

------------------------ McGing ----------------

------------- O'Neil --------------- Pain ----

---------------------- McGlinchey -------------


------------- Murray --------- Simon --------

 

[Rowdy]

However, my gut tells me Mulvey wont be 'brave enough' to move McGing into the DM at the bottom of a diamond.

He'll be 'too afraid' to move Millar out of the wideright midfield/wing-back role that he's been tearing up.

"Grow a pair Mike !"
- just play Millar at RB and instruct him to:
" keep doing what you have been doing ! "

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Come on boys let's do this! This is Murray's opportunity and hopefully he is up to it. I would say this would have to be close to Pearce's last opportunity as well. Players are starting to have to play for the futures, if we don't fight hard today I don't know if we ever will.

 

[Wombat]

Aspro played youth this morning. Was only first teamer.

Kekeris was not in the youth squad. Possibly on the plane

How did they go? i'm told they sometimes go better without the 1st team rejects.

 

[Wombat]

Unfortunately, Jacob Melling misses out due to illness.

calf strain?

But dont forget your defensive duties! Especially if we switch to 442.

Lost 2-0

McGing can be no where the middle of the field ever. DM or CM. He is way more incompetent than Melling.

Defensive RB is his only exceptable position

 

[Rowdy]

Mulvey didnt fly the team over
........ they took the bus !

5 - 4 - 1 :
-------------------- Pearce ----------------------
Millar McGing Cisse Rowles Clisby
Murray McGlinchey O'Neil Pain
-------------------- Simon -----------------------

 

[Michael]

But no still back 5

 

[Wombat]

Sure. There's also a chance that I'll win the lottery, buy the club from MC an

Yes. We did it under Dross and Walmsley too. 442 for me. Either McGing into Dm and Millar at RB or mcGing to RB and Miller to RW.

 

[style_cafe]

any streams please

 

[Wombat]

Lost 2-0

they are shit this year can we get Ben Cahn back please now Okunt is gone.

 

[Ozhammer]

OH did you think training looked amateurish in any way shape or form?

With no parallel to draw from, I am reluctant to make too many damning statements about what I saw but can make the following comments:

A) IMO, there was a general lack of intensity during the session, although I was told this was a light session after two hard days prior.

B) There were several players absent with the national team (Rowles, Shabow & O’Neil), which would have made it difficult to work on tactical stuff, given that two of them would be starting players.

C) The closing part of the session related to tactical preparation for the Nix game but to my eyes it was pretty obvious stuff relating to playing out from the back and defending corners. Tbh, it was pretty basic stuff, which any self-respecting professional shouldn’t need to have drummed into them.

Like I say, I’m not prepared to throw anyone under the bus based on what I saw but will look to attend some further sessions over the coming weeks, in order to form a more rounded opinion.

FoxSports threw us a herring:

Playing a 3 - 4 - 3
Ohhhhhh
Murray so close !
