Re: Give Harry a go Reply #105 – March 30, 2018, 08:45:27 pm I haven't seen O'Shea play. He's listed as a tall (197) running defender. Not sure how he slots in for either of our Outs. Cunningham I'm guessing will get a run through the middle. I hope we match up well this week because we didn't last week - by all accounts. No doubt our selectors have the good oil on this.Sounds like reasonable doubt over big Kruez That will hurt us a lot IMO. MY EDITSorry, thought I was posting in pre-game thread.

We need to catch a little more luck with injuries than we're having at the moment. Doc, Pickett, Kreuzer, Kennedy, ASOS, Lang, Williamson, Lobbe... it's starting to get serious. Having thought about it... Marchbank playing wing is the most likely outcome of O'Shea getting a game. He spent a lot of time there in the JLT. That will mean the resting mids rotation replaces SOSOS and Garlett will spend more time closer to goal hopefully.

Yes, physically he could play there, but marchbank was one of our best last week and now we move him out of position to accommodate O'Shea into the team? Why not just bring in a wingman??

They'd only do that if Marchbank is the guy they want on the wing. The team named 5 tall backmen. I'd be surprised if all 5 play in the back line.

We can only guess though at what it will be.
Re: Give Harry a go Reply #111 – March 31, 2018, 08:26:33 am ‘Give Harry A Go?’ I think he will today. There was no justification to name him as an emergency, except as cover for Krooz, and he won’t come up. Big H needs to take his chance; dry track, weaker opposition, faster ball movement.

I'd be surprised if all 5 play in the back line.I was surprised they played 4 last week.Point is, picking O'Shea to cover Marchbank as you move him to the wing, is making our backline weaker....and i'm not sure our midfield stronger.Why not pick a specialist wing instead of moving marchbank? He was one of our best last week, and we 'reward' him by playing him out of position? It doesn't make sense.
Re: Give Harry a go Reply #115 – March 31, 2018, 10:56:29 am If we're going to muck around with it I'd like to see Marchbank up forward rather than on a wing.

You were right, Bolton is showing his limitations as match selector and potentially outcoached himself in both games.I'm notching it Two games that selection has cost us more than anything.
