The Orange Army. (Brisbane Roar Official Thread)

[RIMB]

There is definitely a change in focus for us this season.

So many Roar B signings and youth prospects in the squad.

I have mixed feelings on it:

1/ Having young promising players develop, and forge a cohesive positive attacking side is a plus. Being young they are going to be learning to play senior football 'our way' whatever that is now, and with the enthusiasm and energy of youth to combine with less rusted on bad habits we could see a strong side emerging. it also feeds into our obvious marketing and on-selling strategy for the club.

2/ The Roar B side has been losing by a goal or so most games this season in the NPL. Without a core of older and more experienced players of decent quality in the senior squad I am concerned about how a struggling B side can be expected to step up and compete with other aleague sides this season.

I am, without doubt, enthusiastic about our prospects and the young players getting contracts and game time. Ever hopeful but wary...

We are recruiting a very good B team here. Should go up at the first time of asking

Seems a good signing on a decent enough length deal. Hopefully we now turn our attention to bringing in some known quality to mix with all the potential we have recruited.
