With a week to go until the opening round it`s time to focus on our first game.
Newcastle have had their usual off field dramas with Nathan Tinkler`s money drying up fairly rapidly.
However they have come up with a few new faces.
Gone are Conner Chapman,James Brown,Joey Gibbs, Reuben Zadkovic,Adam Taggart, Josh Mitchell,Emile Heskey,Josh Brillante & Craig Goodwin.
The new faces include Josh Barresi (WSW),Marcos Flores(CCM),Edson Montano (Barcelona FC Ecuador), Johnny Steele(NY red Bulls),Sam Gallagher (Vietnam), Billy Celeski (ex.MV), Allan Welsh (Croyden Kings), Jeronimo Neumann (AU) & Zenon Caravella ex. NJ returning).
On paper they have lost a lot of exciting young talent, their captain & some experience.
Marcos Flores coming back from a major injury will be very tentative & it will be interesting to see him coming up against Monty.
Celeski will add some experience & stability in a midfield which also contains Dave Carney
Neumann also will add some flair as the Jets take on a very Sth American flair this year.
Add these to players like SACKWACK, Vergilli, Jaliens etc & I think they will have a decent side on the paddock this year.
Our side also have a few new faces with Vernes & Mane` the unknown qualities so far.
With a rain interupted pre-season & some very unflattering results against non-Aleague sides, there looks to be a lot more work to be done before we`re ready to start the season.
I`m concerned over our fitness level with so many comments being made about players being un-fit.
I expect our cohesion & fluency as a team will really be tested in these early games.
A good start to the season is so important in this league, as we`ve seen so often before.
A win will certainly lift our confidence & encourage our fans to keep coming back.
I`m hoping for a decent win but I can`t see this match giving us any more than a draw at this stage.
