I guess we see how good Gorrin is, but if he IS capable of doing the Riera role and also getting more forward box to box, then the starting squad and cover looks more balanced; potentially better than the 'Nix side that won 6, drew 1 and lost 1 mid season. Maybe a bit light at CB/FB cover still, but not too bad.


But getting 35-40+ goals out of the strike force looks the issue, to me, now.  Could do with a quality striker, otherwise looking pretty useful. Ifill, fit and a kiwi, would be handy.


                   Moss

       Fenton Sig Dura Manny

              Riera    Gorrin

Krishna   Hernandez  Cunningham

                    Brockie


or push Gorrin further forward and/or rotate Cunningham/Krishna/Brockie positionally any way you like


FB/CB cover: Boxall, Adams, Caira

Midfield cover:  Lia, Ridenton, Hicks plus with Riera seemingly covered at DM by Gorrin

Forward cover: Boyd, Ifill?, Watson

Edit - and as some-one else has said, we are fairly dependent on Carlos behaving and staying fit


Like it except maybe Boyd to start ahead of Krishna or K for Brockie and Boyd for K. One more striker- perhaps Archie the A-league Eto, [edit- been resigned?]and a utility midfielder defender who can cover DM- maybe Eager?
