Fever Scholarship winner Marco Rojas

Is almost as good as me.

Top work from the kid tonight

This guy is the business. More game time please!

Should start on Wednesday.

I hear he'll be on the transfer list coming Monday.

Looking forward to seeing you in an orange shirt next year.

Small speedy blokes running at defences. Love 'em.

if your not got anything useful to say, don't post at all, everything you have posted today is about how he is gone. we got your opinion the first time u posted it

Absolute class. Should be pushing for a start come Wednesday. Brilliant performance.

sparked the entire team with his runs.

nice work kid.

No worries, forum moderator.  Oh wait...

In second half two penetrating wingers, Rojas on left and Ifill on right, looked the best, most balanced attacking formation we have had all season.  More please.

give him a start in place for Bertos next game i think.

+1. Ninja.

lol... that is all i have to say.

amazing performance. Quality. So much more than Daniel brought to the table.

Give him another 30 mins. Another stellar performance and yeah starting spot.

this is what has been lacking for the nix

starting 11 needs more rojas, less leo!

hopefully whoever is coaching the Hobbits this year won't select him outside the international windows

Ooooh Marco, Marco
Marco, Marco, Marco, Marco, Marco Rojas!

Can't see Rojas starting just yet but he is a great prospect. I would like to see him come on as an impact player like we used to use Caceras. Maybe get 30mins against tiring defenses.

+1

not serious i hope,

the injury that is - not your comment - as a journo i know you wouldn't pull our leg

hmmm interesting. Wonder if that means musa to stay on the bench. Or will pav/ elliot/ mac get the spot?

Guess that means marco or ward to start... or both?
Or maybe just greenacre up top? that could be it..

start rojas, drop bertos. he's had a serious drop of form lately and rojas proved tonight what he can bring to the team. give him a go i say!

Exciting player. He's gonna get more cat than he knows.

Great news for the All Whites too. Exciting attacking wingers!

I'm really rapt for young Marco, he played really well and turned their defence a few times.

Brilliant cameo and new favourite chant "Rojas in the middle of our street...."

Cap him 

Did well but don't think he's ready to start. Perfect impact player to have off the bench. See how Ward goes starting in Leo's position.valeo2010-11-28 13:32:14

Hope he doesn't get rushed into the first team.  While the sports scientists will have the best idea about how much Rojas should be playing at his age, it strikes me that week-in/week-out A-League football might be a bit much for a teenager.

(Qualifier: I'll be the first to admit I lambasted someone about Rojas being the answer and while I think this kid has exceptional talent and dearly want to see him succeed, he is not physically A League ready. I also didn't see the game last night.)

It seems he has come on and had a good game. Does this make him the saviour? Probably not, but then just as likely too. One good game does not make an all-star, ask Ahmad Elrich after his goal in his first appearance for the nix. All his performance has done, is given him a deserved shot to get another run. You perform, you play. Give him another 25-30 next week. See if he can back it up or if it was the sun shining on a dogs ass.

If he backs it up, then lead the calls for a start. Is anyone calling for James Musa to start again? I saw the highlights and his in-experience showed however that was 2 mins out of 90...

Lets see if Rojas can do the same again before we start calling for him to lead us to the promised land.

Leo's got a groin injury?
please god no not AGAIN.
I'm having deja vu..

There's teenagers playing week-in/week-out in the Premier League . . .

True that get him on ,if he's good enough he's old enough !

I wouldn't worry about him being to young to start etc. Look at that Pumpkin Head for CCM, he's only 17 and being given consistant starts playing most of the match. Lonegunmen2010-11-29 20:20:52

One of the best things about Rojas, is that they havnt forced him out of his tricks and stepovers. I was afraid they were gonna wean it outta him. But he's still got it.

He's got the pace, and the fact that we play three in the middle, means our wide players have a little defensive duties which is probably best for him.

He needs to keep the bench role as it gives him more confidence going up against tired legs. And the more time he gets off the bench, the more hes gonna learn the league.

Most of them aren't midgets with no meat on them, though (no offence Marco if you're reading)

Though it's not as if Tommy Oar was a heavyweight. I still think it'd be better to ease him in but would be excited to see him start, I must admit. Purely because it's something Ricki hasn't really done before.valeo2010-11-29 21:03:11
