Yeah it wasnt his fault in any way although he could definitely have made himself more of an impediment by pushing out more and spreading himself out.
That Samp keeper kit (blue shorts and socks, white shirt) doing the reverse of the outfield kit (white shorts and socks, blue shirt) I did not have much time for.

Pretty big blow for the Socceroos, honestly.

Yeah that really adds to the challenges we face for qualification.

That is Circati and Souttar both injured for the season, and Burgess seems to have been dropped by Ipswich. Who lines up at CB in March?

Really not confident about qualifying.

Probably Burgess, Rowles, & Geria.

Beyond that we’ve recently used Degenek, Deng, & Matthews.

Leaves me wondering again… one last job?

He might not be the best footballer in the world, but he’s certainly got an engine.

Honestly, Heart need get out of AAMI Park.
Build a stadium in the south east where they train. Have an actual local identity instead of being “not victory”.

I’m assuming you’ve never been to Casey. I do not see how it works, Western is a growth area thing but it’s new and there’s a chance for something organic. Plus the idea of ‘City’ in the semi suburbs

Hmm. They’re down the bottom of the table. Mabil is there as a semi-familiar friendly face (have they been in national squads together?). Though Irankunda might be replacing him - he hasn’t played since October?

Mabil released by Grasshopper.

He does run around in circles a lot though

Kye Rowles is moving from Hearts to DC United.

Ariath Piol is also apparently moving to the MLS.

Silvera’s loan with Portsmouth has ended and he has now been loaned to League 1 Blackpool.

Ryan off to Lens

Waddingham scored on debut for Portsmouth. Came on when they were already 5-0 down away to West Brom, played the last half hour and got a late consolation to make it 5-1.

Bloody hell.
I know it’s early but man I wish he solves our striker problem for the national team.

Portsmouth are only 2 points above the drop zone (though have a game in hand).

Yeah, it has not been a great season unfortinately. Hoping we do enough to stay up, but definitely not holding my breath…
