Southern Football (incl Southern United) (Part 1)
a lot of young players involved who wont play huge role in the season. imports to add quality, no wheeler or little mike (mr glass) eisenhut i see. hope they do well but with only coburn in the midfield may struggle there. chisholm has finished uni and has got a job up in auks, wild will prob be cantbury again and mckenzie is heading up north to play i believe
if that is a correct squad (i'm not doubting you cliff, i just want ANYTHING official).
I would have liked to have seen Eisenhut,wheller also ben keat and mike cunningham as well as john lang and ross mackenzie up front and off course chisholm at the back but that's not to shabby.Eisenhut has moved to Australia - Wheeler is not interested this year - Keat due to not being good enough last year isn't involved - Cunningham is playing for a varsity in the states - Lang is simply not up to it - Chisholm is leaving to work in Auckland.
Jackson is a brilliant player - I haven't seen a young player quite as atheletic and talented as him in a while. He will be my pick of the best young rookies in the NZFC.
If you want a quality CB you have two to choose from - Horner returning from a 2 year break was class for Otago in 2005/06 and Falvey is also a good looking product as he showed in the latter stages of last season.

Otago fan - are you taking the piss? How can you say Falvey is a cheat? What has he done to prove that..... calling an assistant ref isnt proof!
He is a bloody good defender and will do a good job this year for Otago in the SPL. Next time you come out making these outrages claims - have something to back it up with i.e. bribes to the ref or something along those lines.
Otago are gona have a good backline there
Starting lineups?
Little
Henderson Horner Falvey Pratley
Dugdale Schoular Coburn Rickerby
Burgess Brand
Alistair Rickerby isn't playing by the way.
Is Nick Tarrant not available?
Is Nick Tarrant not available?
thats prob a fair call
Otago has a freindly game tonight and there 2 german imports may be on show/trial not sure if they have signed them or not.
The word from the camp is pretty positiove, new squad is bonding well after a long weekend in Wanaka.
This could be the year we make it out of the bottom two..........
McKenzie a defender???I saw him play about 5 games 4 Dunedin Tech this year either up front or on the left and all he seemed to do was kick it away or blame the other players for his mistakes...In my point or view Wellington can have him!!!!!!!It will be interesting to hear how these imports look because you never no what will turn up down this way
0-0 if so how are they going to go against Auckland 1st game up!!!!!!!!!
