Round 15 - F3 Derby #43, Scumdome

[Capt. Awesome]

Never start Kubi.
Its like playing with 10 men.

Remember that time not too long ago when we won two in a row???

Kubi started both those games.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

To me Kubi seems to work very hard in both attack and defence and causes opponents some real head aches with his pace and physicality, unfortunately his finish amd final ball are not of sufficient quality.

Love to see him change that.

*Edit: probably should also say when I’ve been going on about lacking players with intelligence in the final third. He’s one of the main three I’m thinking of.

 

[nebakke]

He’s one of the main three I’m thinking of.

Heh... So you're saying that out of the three players technically in the final third, he's one of them?

In all seriousness though - I understand the frustration with him and he definitely could use some work, but I would be curious to see what would happen if we could somehow make Hoole pass the bl**dy ball at least a couple of times... I can think of twice, at this point, that Kubi looked through on a clear goal, last weekend, screaming for the ball from Hoole, with Hoole opting to run straight into three defenders in stead of playing it.
Another goal or two might work wonders for his targeting...

 

[LFCMariners]

Got a pass for tonight so I'll be heading up.

This weather doesn't help, and the scheduling is another masterstroke by the FFA in a season that's been full of them...but if the travelling YA repeat their efforts from the last time here and the team on-field maintain pressure on a good Jest team, I'll consider tonight a success.

 

[Wombat]

I'm keen for this one.

COYY

 

[Big Al]

Champness has been called in as a replacement for Satirio for the under 23’s. Says due tomorrow.

Wonder if he plays tonight and travel tomorrow or is out for tonight which would be fair

Update it’s after the game

 

[Big Al]

Jets new Argintine is cleared to play tonight. Injury replacement for Vargas

 

[BrisRecky]

Well, I thought Victory would slam us, so what do I know?, I’d happily take another point during the schedule los debacle
Plus if the boys ain’t keen as mustard to square up for round one then they need hanging up the boots
Here’s to Powelly and Lachie Wales furthering their status as the best new toys ever

 

[Ozhammer]

On the bus to the game and quietly excited for a good game. Hopefully the boys’ recovery went well and they will be able to give a good account of themselves.

COYY!

 

[Forum Phoenix]

I haven't received the early line up message from the club this time, anyone else got one?

The club only issues them for home games apparently.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Ahhh right. Thanks. Great but simple value add initiative, be awesome to have it for all games.

 

[Ozhammer]

Agreed, I will ask DDTMM about why it is only done for home games.

 

[Coastalraider]

Lineup in, no Jnr rose. He was an unused sub on Friday, and not even on the bench tonight, with Melling there instead, after playing Saturday night.

Does this smell fishy???

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Disappointed with what's been happening in regards to Liam Rose, obviously there are things I don't know about the situation so take it with a pinch of salt but if it is simply Paolo preferring Melling over him it is disappointing. We ask for loyalty from players and Liam Rose has had many chances to leave for probably better money, when someone shows loyalty like he has we should really at least return the favour and show faith in him.

 

[TedShot]

I think that all the hype a couple of years ago went to Liam’s head. Same with Buhagiar last season. Look at how much McGing improved, that shows hard work and willingness in training. Young players who don’t improve at all over whole seasons I think it shows a real lack of effort and contentment with status quo.

cost

 

[Forum Phoenix]

So Powell for Adsrubal and Rosey for Roux.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Hoping for a big game from Rosey. Every other side has torn him up this year and expect they will target him. Conversely he still offers a decent amount in attack.

cost

Did Shaun mention the cost on here, or was it commented on at one of the fans forums?
I can't remember but cost was definitely a factor. I'm surprised they're still doing it.

COME ON YOU MARINERS
