Matthews has been decent in defence,

I’d keep him there with Lacerda and put JGR back in midfield.

I think all of the younglings in defence have done well so far

He looks ridiculously comfortable for his second start. It’s not like he’s come off the bench a lot either. Good in the air. Decent on the ball. Reasonable pace and acceleration. Seems to have good anticipation for the interceptions and through-balls too.

All in a pretty makeshift defensive line.

Any NPL watchers know if he looked so at ease in the NPL?

They’ve failed at MexicanWave101.
Start it going through the busiest section first.

And do it at a boring part of the game, not the last 25min

Matthews is pretty impressive imo.

They succeeded just as I was reading your post! You jinxed the thing!!

Finally. A decision in our favour.

When Lolley first got the ball and went past two I thought it was Courtney-Perkins and my jaw dropped.

Lolley is such a unit this season, more running than the new-dad-Energiser bunny.

From what I saw of their NPL appearances I’d have Gurd ahead of him.
Given they’ve had about the same length of A League game time to cement a position, I’d now have Matthews ahead.

Still think that run up is illegal. His forward momentum is completely arrested and then starts again.

Say what you will about Gomes but the lad can take a pen. If we had him last season we would have finished top 2.

It technically isn’t, but its a(nother) ridiculous rule.

Pretty sure the rule is, you’re allowed if you’re Brazilian.

Gomes looks like an 00’s lesbian from the back with the sleeves rolled up, perm and frosted tips.

I wonder how long Carl Veart will stay there for.
He’s done a really good job in Adelaide but it must really start to get to you having your squad disrupted so much each season.

He’d be a good shout for the new Canberra side and you’d imagine Isaiais and/or Javi Lopez could take over and do a good job in Adelaide.

If Fabio is a footballer, then I’m a fuckin time traveller. Worst centre forward in the history of the club.
