Was that Ben Sahar? I recall we signed him and Daniel Nardiello in 2007. I thought that was the strike partnership that would drive us to promotion.....
Same here Dave - I will be checking your website to match up with my team line-ups! Top appearance maker for me is Macca (240 games) and top goal scorer is Gallen with 68.
We have tried changing managers (or had it forced upon us) so many times over the past few years (as well as players) and still nothing changes. If Marti was the solution last year, (which surely he was, given the position we were in when he joined) I can't imagine he's the problem this year.
We have to look deeper (and go higher) than that for the source of the problem.....
As I see it, the objective is 'risk and reward' football. You take a few risks around your own penalty area in an effort to beat the opposition press - that's the reward. Today we saw how this can be effective - unfortunately for us, it was the team in Yellow.
Until we unearth midfield players who can either run quickly with the ball, or pass it quickly and accurately, we are going to struggle with it I fear.
We're going to need plenty of the pragmatism that we showed last season if we're going to do well this season.
It's great to watch when it comes off - but nerve jangling when it doesn't!
I was impressed with them too. The striker Orsi looks a player, nicely taken goal in the final. The keeper was a presence also! Watching them play, I was amazed they only just scraped into the play-offs.
