Volpato relegated

750 minutes in all comps and 24 games. Pretty similar number of minutes to genreau but much younger

Wonder where he goes from here. If he sticks with his side then australia might be attractive to him

Nonsense, it was 1-0 to Hearts at half time.

Thats just what I gathered from the article. I must have misread it.

Genreau finally back and a 57th minute sub

Hopefully a better season next year!

He apparently played 2 games for reserves and scored 2 goals

such a shame. Having an championship level rb would help us in that weak position

I didn't see the second half but that's a bit of Wellington Phoenix there by Bolton. Such a great long season only to fall short when it really mattered. They'll either go up directly next season or make the playoffs again. They'll be very hungry. It's disappointing and I wonder whether Iredale might seek more starts and a senior role elsewhere.

2:0 Oxford at half time. They're just so clinical and Bolton sleepy. Bolton have the strike power to come back but they're in a big big hole.

Italiano scored 2 in 2 at the turn of the month playing right midfield. He wasn't in the team the next game however. Maybe today once the line ups appear post game in the kicker app.

I certainly hope he leaves in summer to play senior football.

Cool article about Alex Robertson's injury and recovery. Seems like he has been back on the training pitch for a couple months and just needs to get a bit fitter but surely a Socceroo selectee in June regardless of how long it has been.

Id like that tho he might be rusty compared to other players

Tyrese Francois is a CM/DM on loan from Fulham in Denmark. Was critical keeping his Danish team Vejle BK out of relegation. Had a really good season.

Agree with 1 and 2 selections based on what I've seen recently.

Not even sure who Francois is?

I feel like Teague has a better all round skill set than Devlin.  Devlin has usually struggled for the Socceroos too.

Genreau has never done much for the Socceroos, but could still potentially be playing top tier  French football.

Macarthur use Jake Hollman as a number 6 at times, even though I think he needs a twin screener in this role.  Hollman has the advantage  over so many other midfielders in that he gets his head up whilst ball carrying and dribbling ( like Brook) so he  can scan the field  of play simultaneously, easily enabling him to make better decisions. 

Jordi Valadon has immense potential in terms of technical qualities on the ball, being hard to  close down with his fast handling speed, even though he has not played much for Melb Vic at this stage.

There is also Yazbek.

Baccus has usually done well for the Socceroos, despite others supposedly playing at a higher club level.

Baccus has not done well for the Socceroos for a while now.  Having him as DM would risk losing possession and turnovers.  And going forward he got no creativity.

Would have no issue with Irvine in the role either.

From what I’ve seen of Italiano and Talbot they’re nothing but average

4 more years until citizenship would it be? I still don't get the idea we're in crisis mode at right back. We've got Strain who has been good every time he's played but for those injuries. Atkinson holds his own in bigger games. We've got some good young ones coming through plus Deng in an emergency.

Italiano, Talbot,   Bovalina still only young, plus WSW's youngster Simmons are all making progress.

Viking Roos lost  4-1 to lillestrom

Gianni played 88 mins as a cb 

Bell from new Zealand played a full match 

Daggers played the second half and yazbek didn't get off the bench.

I wish they were doing a bit better with all the Aussies they have there but it seems they have dropped off from last season

Middlesbrough local rag wrote this about Sammy 

Described as a low-risk gamble by Boro officials when he signed from Central Coast Mariners last summer, Silvera showed flashes of potential in his first season but proved raw to say the least. However, this first year was intended to be a season of learning for him and he was never really intended to play as many minutes as he did. That he played more than fellow forwards Riley McGree and Marcus Forss says a lot

No news on mcgree at the moment but Glover is rumored to be leaving
