I'm with Hn and wolfben on the O'dor is not a fullback issue, CCM
memories are still too vivid!
not sure about Clebo at Lb -though I'd like to see him on the pitch again, i think he lacks the mobility and balance to be a fullback
Daniel would do ok, i reckon, and regarding the criticisms of him in the air, i think it's true that he's the only one in the side apart from Smeltz to have scored with his head this season, and whilst it was a looping header his jump was well timed
have Lia or Old got a left foot than they can use for more than just standing on?

You referring to the Felipe header? Cant remember a Daniel header.
Don't necessarily need a left foot to play LB. If ya can pass with it, thats good enough.

Haha no worries. I wouldn't wanna see a back 3 either, defensively

So with no Paston, Lochhead, Christie, Smeltz and Brown
(international duty) and maybe Aloisi (suspension), and Lia
injured, we're at the limits of our squad to even have 15 for
Newcastle? If Felipe can't play with his hamstring I presume
our 15 will have to be:
Moss, O'Dor, Old, Cleberson, Dodd, Ferrante, Johnson, Daniel,
Elrich, Coveny, Paladini with substitutes of Draper, Spoonley,
Brownlie and Barbarouses.
A real test of our depth.

Well to balance up the team I'm prepared to sign a short term deal as left back cover. I last played about 15 years ago for a Wellington Olympic social team but have looked after myself so the team will now be:
Moss, Cantona forever, O'Dor, Dodd, Old, Daniel, Johnson,
Ferrante, Elrich, Coveny, Brownlie with substitutes of Spoonley,
Lonegunman, Hard News, and Paladini
Couple of the subs in there for when Griffiths goes crazy with
a blade!

Hell no, I'm garbage.
Incidentally, I reckon you'd see two strikers and Clebo on the bench in that 15.

I wasn't very flash either - maybe we could both get contracts for
the Glory then? Love to hear if Lonegunman is up for a subs
position - probably not with us today since QPR got their first win
of the season!!

Daniel scored the first goal of the season with his head. He is good in the air, the only reason he doesn't score more with his head is because he takes most of the corners and is the second option for free kicks. He is also on the ball quite a lot, so is more likely to make a cross than be on the end of one.

if Aloisi is suspended and Brown is with the All whites who will
wear the armband
Dodd I hope
Thoughts?

Dodd is the obvious choice. Although Moss, Johnson and Coveny are all reasonable options.

First game vs Melbourne? (the Nix's first goal ever)
[edit] someone got there before me.
Jeez it's going to be an interesting team this weekend...

In the first game of pre-season (when Aloisi was suspended and
Brown was injured) Covs was skipper. Agree that Dodd and
Johnson are options too - Dodd is the only one of those three who
you can guarantee will get 90 minutes to be honest...

A-League website and Newcastle Jets website both say 3pm
kickoff (which is 6pm NZ time)...
...but the programme guide on the SKY TV website says 4pm
start...
I'd imagine it's 6pm and SKY have made a typo.

I just went to double check on Sky and they are saying 4-6pm. Now I'm confused.

For New South Wales -- ie Sidknee and newcasill
Daylight saving starts on Sunday 28 October 2007 at 2 am when clocks are put forward one hour.
We are currently 3 hours ahead of them, so 6 pm kickoff here for sure

I miss Clebo!.....It's a pity for him (not the 'Nix) that Dodd and
O'Dor have been a good partnership...2nd half of Melbourne game he
was great, then had a dodgy game against CCMs and then went
missing...?! Could be time to go full Brazilian (not a painful hair
removal procedure!);

Cleberson deserves a second chance, but maybe he isn't doing well with tactics in training.

I think that if Spoonley was brazilian, people would be
suggesting that we start him either left back or up front.

Now I'm firefly like a burning kite

lol anyway, as has been stated before, all 4 Brazilians on at once
cannot happen, as only 3 are allowed in the game squad. Clebo seems
to be the short straw, and though the juries still out on George,
we shall see when he hopefully gets a start and some decent ball to
show us what he's made of

Would we all agree that imports are normally your best and generally highest paid players? So why would there be a rule that says you can`t play one of them? I believe this is not the rule. If it is the rule, that is stupid.

I'm about 98% certain it isn't.

It would be a shame to have Daniel playing a defensive roll, even
if he was a left back in Brasil. All his best work has been done
getting forward, especially down the flanks. 3 of the goals against
Perth were laid on by him. OK, one was a corner but we need someone
to carve out chances after last week's toothless effort.
Hate to say it but whatever defensive combo is picked there's
going to be plenty of heart seizures again this week. Advise
deadening your nerves with plenty of lager.

I wonder if Costa or Draper will get a run this weekend? Ideally I would like to see Draper get on for 5 mins at the end of the game. Assuming we are up by 2 at that stage of course. Other than that I think anymore game time for the youngsters this weekend could be costly for the Phoenix.
If we build it, they will come...

Haven't you seen Lochhead this year? He's made plenty of runs down the flanks.

yea that could work, they signed him with attack in mind but hasn't
he spent a fair ammount of time at wing back?

apparently he can't tackle for peanuts though. Plus it might be a bit of a waste
