The young attackers being Supyk (19), Walker (19), LBS (17) & GSR (18) are also only going to be in their 2nd full ALM season. They have two goals between them. GSR has barely played at all in the A League. Hard to see any them yet having that type of Old standout breakout season just yet. Still alot to learn playing against men week in week out. From memory Ben O was in his 4th season around the first team in 2023/24.
You'd think it's more likely 1 or more of the older ex Weenix grads from Hughes (21), Sheridan (21), LKH (20) & Conchie (22) step up to have a starring campaign. They are all coming into their 3rd season. But none of them are going to score many goals. Maverick tyro Piper (23) will yes hopefully smash in a header or two.
Stating the bleeding obvious but the new 9 & 10 signings need to be top quality A League standard players. And yeah then injury free. Sounds like the new visa striker will be announced next week, so that will hopefully lessen some of the angst.
