Not sure how you decided the Bakries want Davies .(?)..but I would rather take a chance on Fowler than take Davies ....Admittedly Davies has had everything against him from day one but his tactical prowess even with what he has got to play with, hasn't impressed me ...(and I say that as a person who is not keen on Fowler as he is so inexperienced)

Make senses given he’d been involved with the club for a year (a wild one too), knows the league and would be cheaper than Fowler or others mentioned.

It’s very simple for me - it’s not just about the Head Coach appointment, it’s also about who they bring in as assistant (or whether they’re allowed to bring someone in?).

Davies is a nice guy and will be better for this experience, but he looks to be s couple of years away from being ready.

Bautheac and Pepper both suspended next week

play full youth team

How good was it to see youth playing the way they should in Orange 😀

Lopez, TK did their bit as well but we need younger versions of them next season.

McKay was bloody marvellous.

We wobbled in the first 10 minutes of the second half other than that it was a performance full of good football and optimism.

Eric I’m afraid can depart with the majority for me - we saw the best of him in the first half and then the worst of him in the second with yet another petulant act. A $600,000+ marquee has to be better than that.

Agreed ...he has potential ....but a bit green still..but as you say this season would be a wonderful learning curve for him.  Bit of a break for a few seasons back as an assistant and he may turn out to be a very good head coach.

Amazing Matty can play virtually any position and what a legend he is. Shows what an experienced head can do even if out of position.

Aren’t the youmgies marvellous. Put all their heart and mind into the game. Yes showing a lot of naivety but rather have them than dads army any day.

it was a joy to watch.....for the first time in ages I came home and watched it again straight away...

So,having not watched the game,can I assume Babalj finally was shifted ,DWH was more central and we got some youth playing?

@ crimson

Pretty much.

Babalj was on the bench. D’Aggers played striker, DWH played off him down the Center but regularly pushed out to the right side where he found space. Zac Duncan sat behing those two playing “10” which worked really well.

5 youth players on the park. Caletti came off the bench, so did Reardon and both played well. Charlie was the other sub and he looked very good - question mark on whether he can score though?

Worth watch the first half if you have Kayo.

I really get the impression DD feels pressured to play the older higher paid players and it’s only injuries forcing home to do what he should have months ago.
So frustrating waiting for the coach to do the obvious and give youth experience with a few senior players for balance.

Brisbane Roar - the only winning A-League team (...this round...so far...)

We rock!

If the league ladder started this round we’d be TOP

John Aloisi was RIGHT, we did become competitive .... in R25 !!

Bring back the Aloisi brothers !!!

Why didn't you guys keep Franjic again?

Because Hingert was cheaper

The Aloisi’s signing record is pretty piss-poor hey

are you guys excited for the anzac day match? 

@melbcityguy

We’ll see how the ANZAC Day game goes. It was Pourre’s idea but it is a designated FFA game now (meaning it can be moved next year).

Fox have started running some Ads for it and Roar have been promoting it since Round one. The club recon worse case is 12k and tracking over 15k at the moment.

In terms of the actual football I just want to see more of the youngsters giving it a go. Thoroughly enjoyed Friday night just did that.

I didn't get to see the game. What type of player is Duncan?

i have been looking forward to watching the game especially since it is at 2:00 which is my preferred time to watch football 

@Sub007

Duncan is highly rated in the youth squad. Plays central midfield, normally as a CAM

Cheers.

What about Barnett? Is he any good?

@sub007

To my eye Barnett is the better player.

Cheers. What type of player is he? 

Think you might be thinking of Oliver Duncan who used to play CAM at the Roar alongside Bryce Bafford. 

Zach Duncan and Jay Barnett both play DM.

Ah ok thanks.

Barnett is an Adelaide fella. Pretty good passer and vision. 

Cheers for the info. I assume he's a deep-lying playmaker then.
