:smirk:

Wood definitely lives off the shoulder of the last defender.

Impressive stat!

My takeaways

  • Wood needs to step up, well taken goal aside
  • Alfaro has replaced Burgess - trying too hard, and can’t pull his socks up. At 16 he did well though
  • Kucharski and Segecic have a great bromance over the shared Mierjewski celebration. They both look like they’re on a mission to make a career
  • Devenish Meares is entertaining but rough.
  • Quintal will be awesome once he settles
  • Kamijo impressive too

Good to see, hopefully more of them keep getting gametime this year scattered amongst the first 11, not thrown in together.

Definitely the easiest option. Guess we will find out later in the week.

Although equally hope Jeonbuk get a hard game during their off-season (basically us or the Thai teams).

As an aside, Jeonbuk won the relegation battle 4-2 on aggregate, so will remain in K1 for next season.

For a long time Wood was trying to be the receives the cutback, the receives the ball from a squared pass from a wide man kind of striker kind of guy. However seeing as though quite frankly his positioning sucks from those scenarios he can be the off the shoulder kind of guy. Seems to suit him better I noticed.

Finally gotten around to watching a replay after missing the game live last week.

Was so good to see some of kids get some decent time in major roles - thought Segecic was brilliant all game and really liked HDM’s game too. I hope the red card on Sunday doesn’t put an end to his game time this season.
