How bad is the scummer McGree - hasnt got it at this level. Same for Deng. Triantis is a better CB already

 

[Ironbark]

It's easy to believe we'll be seeing Triantis in the green and gold eventually

 

[Ironbark]

Stupid of Deng that

 

[FFC Mariner]

Deng is wildly over rated

Academy result?

 

[pjennings]

2-1 loss

 

[scoober]

5-1 win in the 20’s earlier

 

[Meerkat]

2-1 loss

Absolutely bummed we let that 2nd goal in. Right after we should have scored.

I had been expecting a worse score line though I must admit.

I know right. Defenders appear to have two roles to play currently.

Who is the Academy coach now??

The most important thing is to bring Ken Schembri back into the fold because we have struggled since we let him go.

Not much he can do without a striker to be fair.
They are a lot more organised now but hamstrung because the money isn't there to pay for quality

So if you take over a team that doesn`t have a recognised or capable striker what do you?
Basically you have two options:- either play without one or manufacture one from the players you have.
List what you like to see a striker doing then scan your players and see who`s the best fit.
I haven`t seen the NPL side play this year,but I saw enough on Saturday night to see the potential of Bayliss.
Fast, comfortable on the ball good dribbler at speed.
He can attack the space beyond the defenders and can pick a gap in the defence.
He also looked to be a very intelligent player and would work his arse off ensuring a high press.
For mine he ticks a lot of boxes.
I`d be starting him at right back for the first 20 mins or so ,so that he can watch the opponents defence.
Then i`d switch him up front with instructions to the midfields to find the space behind the defence where Bayliss could excel......
