Back to the tried and failed with LOB.......Kemp and McGovern play the same position as does Plowman.
On the plus side Cincotta has earned his promotion.
Kemp and McGovern don’t play the same position although Kemp could do McGovern’s role. Almost every game Kemp has played has been as a KPD, albeit a little undersized but still able to match it with his larger opponent.
Kemp also has the foot speed and the step to break the lines and he could well be in line for the Docherty or Saad roles.
Similarly, Plowman doesn’t play the same role is McGovern (as was demonstrated last week) or Kemp. Plow is your solid 3rd tall who tends to get caught out when his teammates over commit.
With Cincotta (who has a toolkit that’s closer to what the Docherty/Saad roles require), we have gone from six defenders and a midfielder to eight defenders. I’m not confident that McGovern will run out but, if he does, one of our defenders will have a different role.
I would have preferred to see Fogarty among the ins but O’Brien’s ability to run harder for longer must have been valued more.
I suspect that a few players are on their last chance and others have something to prove. The team selection suggests that our coaching group has a plan to stymie Lyon’s reliance on sticking to the boundary.
Time will tell but Go Blues!
