Dodd out of next game (this weeks team)

Dodd out of next game (this weeks team)

Not sure if this has been picked up on or discussed elsewhere, but Karl Dodd picked up his fourth yellow card on Sunday and will therefore miss the Adelaide game this weekend. Hard News2007-10-24 22:25:20

Uh oh.

I tremble! why oh why couldn't we be playing Perth next week instead of an inform Adelaide

Huge blow.

Clebo and O'Dor together is a sure fire disaster. Lets just hope we score a lot of goals down the other end..

As Adshead said in the paper this morning - concede 3 but score 4.

Why stop at 4?

7-4!

The other option is to play 3 across the back in a 3-5-2. But that's a recipe for disaster.

maybe maybe but prob not

Old--------------Cleb----Aloisi--------lockhead

I'm thinking same lineup as against CCM, but with Clebo or Old in.

something like

Did you watch the game at the Mariners in round 2 ? Hard News2007-10-24 12:21:12

Why not Plodder?

And ditto to what HN says.

yeah but it was a while ago and i'm afraid i can't remember every formation.

It was the game where O'Dor was pushed to Right back and Adam Kwasnik had a field day.

yeah i remember it. 3 nil in the first half

This is huge blow. I think they need to roll in someone else beside Cleberson - Aloisi? or maybe Ferrante - there is no chance he would score an own goal given his target shooting so far. I think he is a good player he just isn't ever going to score.

Wingback4eva, Clebo at the back is a bit like you in goal in indoor.

 I think the defence will be   -  Christie , Old , D'or , Lochhead -

Have we signed Christian D'or?

damn, those card happy refs have a bit to answer for

i'm very confident.

Whatever happens, I just don't want to see Clebo on the wing. Putting him in centre is fine by me, but just not the wing.

I was thinking, I don't think Aloisi would be great in defence, but what about Richard Johnson? I think he could do all right.

                          Moss
O'dor-----Clebo-----Aloisi------Lochhead
                Daniel-----Felipe
Coveny-----Ferrante-----Elrich------Smeltz


That might work you think?

IT puts the lotion on the skin

I think Clebo and Old should start, O'Dor had a mere.

big call changing two centre backs. Since when were you an expert in defending? I have never seen you tackle once.

You don't have to be an expert to see when a guy tries 2 run it from the back twice, get tackled and really f**k us!

nice one LPLfan1

i'd like to try.

I'm not as convinced as others about Cleberson. If he can get run around at the right, he can get run around in the centre. I think he could add a bit to the team if he is just ahead of the defence, and not the last line, but I dont know what formation could carry that.

Surely O'Dor won't muck up like that again, I'd keep him.

Liked Coveny's positive and experienced comments on TV1 news tonight

johnson and brown is not a spelling mistake.

not convinced about the wisdom of 'solving' the problem of one suspended centreback, by replacing both centrebacks with midfield players (if either Johnson or Brown have any experience at CB at a decent level fair enough, but they don't  - do they?)
