The coach seems to love him. Substituting Toure instead of him.

Because we were one down at that point weren't we?

And Toure was playing 9 and was substituted for Ospeth so a like for like. Blackwood was playing in the middle.

Blackwood was being exceptionally useless up to that point, even for him. Was the clear frontrunner to be substituted.

EDIT: Even Andy Harper said so and he loves Blackwood.

I don't disagree. He didn't play well but he's not a CM. I would've played Lia over him.

Apparently this new Chinese player hasn't even played professionally before. He played in the professional teams' amateur affiliate until a month before we signed him 'from' the pro team.

What is with this club and not making defensive signings a priority? Elsey and Strain out this week so Marrone will play CB but who will play RB? Our depth in defence is complete trash for the second season in a row.

Blackwood to drop even deeper

Blackwood to drop even deeper

Yeah play him at RB why not, we're already playing a RB at CB and probably a DM at RB this week.

Maria drop to LB and Kitto swap over to RB?

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Maria drop to LB and Kitto swap over to RB?

I guess, but neither are RBs. Even when Kitto was playing on the wing it was predominantly on the left.

 

[ams4crows]

Wil Jakobsen be fit for the FFA cup Final?

 

[burge13]

At least we singed a 5 aside player from China. That really helps with depth

 

[SloaneysDanger]

So Blackwood is out now, Abetew will make his debut, no Boland and Troisi didn't travel.

We never win in Melbourne so gonna go put $100 on City. Win/win situation.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

That starting line-up is gross.

 

[hey shorty]

That starting line-up is gross.

Very light on.

 

[Magma]

can hardly afford to concede soft goals like that.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

2-0. This will get messy.

 

[Magma]

jesus christ. we look a long way away

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Lol. Just lol.

 

[Magma]

it's pretty irritating that we focused more on troisi, who will chase 10 cents down the drain if he thought he could get it, as opposed to a defender or two.

6 of our starting 11 are missing, you're not winning too many games.

 

[Greasyrhys]

If we lose by 4 or more goals then we’d better win the cup in 3 days

 

[hey shorty]

If we lose by 4 or more goals then we’d better win the cup in 3 days

What an odd thing to say

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

If we lose by 4 or more goals then we’d better win the cup in 3 days

If you look at the two squads out today, then a 5 or 6-0 wouldn't be an unexpected result. I mean, look at our bench. 4 players!

 

[hey shorty]

Still look dangerous on the counter too

 

[Magma]

6 of our starting 11 are missing, you're not winning too many games.

yeah, but it just sucks going into a season with obvious spots where we're paper thin.

no wait sorry, we signed a bloke who cant get a min in the chinese 3rd div. we're good.
