Brad Jones as another backup keeper took over from schwazer when he was havin a sad with the coach...

Not too sure about Jones, he spends too much time on the boro bench and when they put him on against Arsenal, it was rabbit in the headlights stuff. His decision making looks really bad. Untill he can get some confidence I'd rather someone like Filan or even Bolton as 3rd keeper.
 

The Foxtrot

U19 12th Man
i aint sure but i think the lineup will be similar to the game against Uruguay
keeping harry kewell on the bench may change...because he did have an instant impact last game...but he is still a tool....and if he can stay uninjured

here's the list of players that Hiddink had selected for the matches against uruguay
John Aloisi, Marco Bresciano, Tim Cahill, Scott Chipperfield, Ante Covic, Jason Culina, Ahmad Elrich, Brett Emerton, Vince Grella, Joel Griffiths, Zeljko Kalac, Harry Kewell, Stan Lazaridis, Ljubo Milicevic, Lucas Neill, Tony Popovic, Mark Schwarzer, Josip Skoko, Archie Thompson, Michael Thwaite, Tony Vidmar, Mark Viduka, Luke Wilkshire.

tactics is a different thing...

Incidentally, The Foxtrot, why Dirty Leeds?

Is it from the days when Viduka and Kewell were playing for them, or is there a secret former residential or ancestral home there for the The Foxtrot family?

Ante Covic you would think would be the 3rd keeper unless he really stuffs up in the Asian Cup QF or a Friendly. ATM Brad Jones is about 6th in line, there are quite a few infront of him. But if he gets regular football at Boro that could change.

My Sqaud ATM:

GK: Mark Schwarzer, Zelko Kalac, Ante Covic
DF: Craig Moore, Lucus Neill, Ljubo Milicevic, Tony Vidmar, Tony Popovic, Michael Thwaite, Brett Emerton, Scott Chipperfield
MF: Harry Kewell, Tim Cahill, Marco Bresciano, Vince Grella, Jason Culina, Ahmad Elrich, Luke Wilkshire, Josip Skoko
FW: John Aloisi, Mark Viduka, Archie Thompson, Joel Griffiths

Biggest name missing is probably Stan Lazaridis

I remember them when Revie was manager - he and Cloughie absolutely detested each other. Derby and Leeds had some awesome battles in the 1970's.

Did anyone from this morning game look like they could find themselves in the sqaud after their performances. I reckon Covic and Elrich pretty much booked their spots for Holland, unless they something stupid from know to then.

BTW for those that don't know we won 3-1 against Bahrain in our first senior game in Asia.

I think Covic is still a question mark.... The Defence was pretty bad from the Aussies and he did look shaky at times... Overall it was a very good performance from a side which had not played together before and a few of the guys have definatley shown that they can fill the gaps when the top side is not there..

Anyone hear about this kid wanting to play for Australia. Apparently he was rasied in Australia or something. Is he any good and could he force his way into our midfield.
