Aussies abroad 🌍🦘

[Quicky]

Boyle just needs to get shooting for Australia. Iredale must be in the squad.

Should start. It's funny with all our CBs out we're left with 3 LCBs in Burgess, Rowles and Iredale. Strange how it pans out.

In what way?

In one instance the ball was poorly cleared from a corner. There was a tussle inside of the box and the ball eventually rolled into a dangerous area in the penalty box near irankunda. However, because he was just standing for a few seconds in an off side position he couldn't do anything about it

In both attack and defense there were lots of off the ball issues (but also some brilliance like his press of the keeper in what initially looked a safe backpass)

Burgess and luongo start

Nice to get the minutes just before the international window

burgess a half time sub for some reason
luongo stays on

2 defenders off which could only suggest a reshuffle and now they go 1:0 up.

According to x Burgess rolled his ankle

Mass Luongo getting some stick from Ipswich fans at HT on Instagram. One saying that he's out of his depth. The same fans that would've loved him in their promotion run

Don't know what they expect given he's not got the match sharpness. Good hour put in before the inevitable sub. They lost on penalties.

I might be a chance to get a call up for our back 4 at this rate. Better start training.

Confirmed by manager now to be a calf injury.

Lovely. Can't catch a break at the moment.

FFS we're cursed.

Our defence has been decimated.

Triantis can play CB. Now watch him get injured...

He's going to have to at this rate
We have plenty in midfield but Triantis is the best currently.

Alex Grant probably going to come into squad. Geria and Rowles guaranteed to start. Iredale, Elder Davidson there too. At least its experienced but it's a scary feeling.

At this point I'd be going Geria/Miller, Grant and perhaps Iredale. LCB is difficult because Iredale is in great form for his club but Rowles has the international experience that the others mostly lack.

 

[dr. bellows]

Triantis might be able to do a job at cb but he has shown that he is more comfortable and effective as a 6

 

[onedaywinners...]

Far out if that's Burgess now out injured that is now a serious defensive injury crisis! Lucky we have built some decent depth that we can now call on.

Whilst I agree Triantis looks like his best position is at 6, he may very well be able to do a really good job in this window at CB with his ball playing ability into midfield to kick start our attacks. This is an area I feel we have lacked for some time with this predictable short pass from the back to the FBs and then back across the back line again and again.

With this many injuries we have to play kye rowles, limit the new faces

I know it's unpopular but u need the experience to steady the ship or things could really implode
