Leech, Pope, Coveny and Dovison all leaving.
Dovison going out on loan
I understand the departures of Coveny and Pope. I would have thought Leech is a handy bench player. If Pope and Leech are departing, then that tells me they’ve signed 2 midfielders.
 
Inglese another one who needs to join me in the state leagues.
Only reason Inglese is getting match time is due to the Eliopoulos injury. He’s not a top 6 team defender. Having that week off will reduce the matches that Eliopoulos will miss through injury.
 
Upon watching the goals we copped they are catastrophic on review. 1st goal Swibel absolute pissweak effort where he loses the ball and then doesnt even chase. 2nd goal should be a relatively easy painter andrews clearance i have no idea wtf he is doing. 3rd goal Lopez comes then retreats, he easily gets that ball if he keeps going.

I can accept good play from the opposition, defence splitting passes. Wonder goals etc but these are just gifts, you'd barely call them chances.

We are not playing pacific island teams anymore, we conceeded twice as many goals as Auckland in the ofc for a reason and today it was shades of that shit again.

So we need a RB, CB, Backup LB for Lampard, an extra creative mid and 1-2 strikers. 5-6 new signings.
 
If Manny signs, that’s one piece of the jigsaw puzzle sorted. A few more pieces required to challenge for finals.
If they manage to gel that is... smart rwcruitment doctates minimum of 4 top class inns.. no worrying about disupting playing group etc.. perhaps more competition will be thw swify kick in the bavkside this team needs after the deflation of late!!

Leech needs gametime.. farming him out rwmaindernof season can only help us longterm bc as is he wont makenrhe difference coming off the bench if we chasing a game.
Pope neither here nor there to be honest.
Coveny is as much a loss as Singh, or Lackay would be... in other words... zero!
He was shocking today. Had a dreadful game. Two of the goals came down his flank.
Hasnt looked good in a number of games to be fair...

Liability at best. But not the only 1... even desperate i wouldnt start him again..
 
Bentleigh game is a must win anything less that 3-0 and we are completely fucked. Hopefully the team has gelled under the new coach by then it doesn't happen after one game as obviously after yesterday haha
