I wonder if we have any tactical flexibility built in to use this sudden over abundance of potential starters (3-4 positions where there’s a coin toss imo) to gain advantages in some games?
But more often than not 3+3 doesn’t equal six, but more unfamiliar combinations or less time on/space with the ball for form players.
For example would Kosta up front have been better than Zawada? Waine is the current undroppable, but Kosta/Waine was good in the cup. As you say Bally has been great up front- a contender for player of the season last year imo.
It also seems that if we play Zawada/Waine we’re going to play a lot more aerial long balls in behind, whereas the last couple of goals with Kosta’s involvement came playing through the lines.
To put it another way- so far out forward line has a B pass mark. Not sure about the midfield/FB creators and the defense yet. We’re not holding and dominating possession with the swift passing game Uffie has played in the past. We seem with Ugarkovic to be dribbling a bit more out of midfield. But also both teams have had success pressing against us more than last season.
Hurt my heart a little to see Jaushy involved in a late breakaway winner with the Jets. I reckon he’s a snake for not re-signing…
