2017-18 Preseason

[Reds4Life]

Baba Not quite there with his touches

[Jumbinho]

Marino got himself a goal...for Campbelltown. 1-0

[RedRebel]

Haha, ghosty! Finally the scoring boots!!

[Reds4Life]

Baba equalises

[Ghost]

Regan selected to partner Gulum

Konstandopoulos selected ahead of O'Doherty, perhaps seen as more of a DM option. No Lia, injured I guess.

Looks like we started playing 4-4-2

Izzo
Marrone - Regan - Gulum - Garuccio
...................Isaias - Konstandopoulos
Miluesnic ...............................Absalonsen
..............Baba - Blackwood


How good is Nathan Konstandopoulos?

[Old Gregg]

I'm sure NK has some quality, he was absent in the Newcastle game though and for all Lia's limitations it really looked like we missed him. Did anyone here make it out last night?
Looking through Campbelltown's list, it looks like they have a very decent squad at the moment (including Spase Dilevski wtf, when did this happen?)

Signed with them in January.

Fyfe also play for them?

Yes he does.

Meanwhile Iain Fyfe's Beard is still playing in the EPL but is apparently being courted by several chinese clubs for a 8 figure deal. If we could get a Major sponsor I'd love to bring him in as a season long guest marquee. The problem with a big name like that, puts a lot of pressure on the small time HAL coaches as we saw when that old italian bloke went to Sydney FC.

Izzo looked ordinary for that goal we conceded last night. What was he doing? He seemed indecisive.

Was Margush wasn't it ??

But yes I agree

No, it was Izzo, Margush replaced Izzo at the 50' mark, the goal was scored at the 47' mark.

I would be more worried about the defence than the goalkeeping in the goal.

[Reds4Life]

Agreed, terrible all round.

Victory will cut us up badly if we play like that

But it wasn't just any friendly match - three 40-minute periods.
