Hooper missing shouldn’t really be game-breaker against an NPL team, but even for the A League games he’s going to miss, its probably not as bad as it seems. He hasn’t looked that great and very much looks like he missed pre-season, like he only has one shot, which went off-target, in the past two losses and hasn’t really looked like scoring outside of that fortuitous rebound against the Mariners.
As much as it kills me to say it, Sotirio would probably do a better job, and also mean that whoever he’s paired with won’t have to carry him off the ball. Even though Talay said he’ll play a full team and he isn’t exactly one to rotate his players, I’d want to see changes from the Jets battering, like Waine, Sotirio, Pennington etc, because if you don’t get dropped after a game like that, when will you get dropped.
