Another player with Asian football experience in the ACL squad. Love this signing too.

I wonder if he was purchased in mind of replacing Spiranovic or Beauchamp or both?

Mullen has taken over the injury replacement contract for Golgol (who took an injury replacement contract for Tahj).

When will Kresinger take said Injury Replacement contract?

Kind of glad we've got an extra defensive replacement. Mullen seems to be a decent player from the one performance we have seen. Add Golec to the mix next season and we should have a solid defence. Think we have been a bit complacent lately.

 

Shame about Gol Gol but I am still looking forward to him coming back from injury. He looks a good player to me.

Just thought I'd say what a nice guy Daniel is.

He came out to my kids football session at Cook Park yesterday and spent a lot of time talking to the kids, answering questions and was genuinely interested in talking to everyone there.

 

My misses spent a lot of time talking to him too...gunna have to watch her.. :-)

 

Martin Lo came out too, nice guy. He was a little shy and quiet but it was good of him to be there..

I can't wait for the first Marty Lo chant, the last name is perfect to go along with the 'shololololos' in most of our other chants.

Nice guy. Had a chat today about Guangzhou. Asked what they are like to play against (from his time in China) and he said they are quality but beatable, issue will be away game 39 degrees at 95% humidity with a massive crowd behind them. He played against them away in front of 60k and said it was nuts.

Great our boys are so down to earth.

Is this it?

confirmation of starting right back status? 

 

Alessi to push him though so that's good

Injury update from last week's game? Did he travel to China?

hamstring, even a minor strain would be a minimum 10 days, probably wouldn't do him well to travel with the team with the injury.... Much better to stay at home, get him intensive Physio and strengthening sessions so he could be back in training by the time the boys got back from the west Asia tour after china.

Im still not sold at Mullen at RB.

 

Too big, slow and not mobile enough for this position.

 

Struggles going forward effectively and facing players that are running at him with speed.

 

If he was bought as a replacement for Polenz, they are miles apart.

Yes. Lumbering is an adequate description of him.

We'll see a fair bit of Alessi as the season progresses.

I really dont get how some players in the squad dont find themselves out of favor after successive poor performances under popa whilst some do.

 

Mullen has been rank average to dreadful in every game in a wanderers shirt. Yet its like he picks himself. I hope Adeleke can grow a right foot!

Apparently it's based on how they go at training during the week - not on their performance in the match.

I believe in a philosophy like this. but with good context in mind.

for example Average Joe is coming off 3 **** games, low on confidence and ability, but puts his heart and soul into training..... still deserves to be dropped. 

 

You cant continually select a player for his training abilities if his game day performances and outputs in the teams structure are continuously poor. Theres a balance to be found.

 

You dont drop Diego Costa because he struggles to train, because come game day hes class and a genuine team player.

 

blah. anyway, point is Mullen is shite and i miss Polenz :(

The guy as I understand it is a CB, being played sorta out of position at RB - like... he's not bombing on making runs and all that, but he's a CB, can we expect that?

There could be a spectacular RB in Spira, for the big games.

Thanks Dan. Hope next stage of your career is a successful one as well.

 

Nice bloke - chatted to him at kit launch and asked him if we were a chance against Guangzhou. He said he was confident and they are very beatable. Well played.
