Not disagreeing with this, but I stand by Wiki > Barlow, if it comes to that choice


I would play any one of the kids from our U13 team over Tom Barlow.

It's great that he causes chaos but then when that chaos causes turnovers, it's almost certain he gets the ball, which in turn means we aren't scoring.

RSL is signing Arango, exactly the type of player we need. I bet our "big summer signing" is gonna be some 20-year-old who would have to be googled because no one will have heard of him.

Didn't we say, at the time, that  Dante was exactly  the type of player we need?

It's fair, but Dante has always played in a 2-forward system. Having him next to our driftwood is not helping.

Struber wanted to play a 4-2-2-2 which is why Dante was a good pick up. Problem right now is that nobody really knows what is coach troy preferred formation. Right now it's all speculation since he took over an injured squad. First game after the break will show what formation and tactics he wants to play. Everyone will be disappointed if he still tries throwing out Barlow and dru again on the attack.

that is the thing.  Who can play #10 if we play 4321?

442 or 4411 is a little more clear.

I assume the plan was for it to be Corey next to him.
