Larin, Ricketts, Haber and Jackson-Hamel are the top 4 in the depth chart right now in my books. Agreed. While I was slightly hopeful for Cavallini, I am happy enough with our options not to be down about it. Hard to see him miss this one and get a Gold Cup call, but you never know. Very happy for AJH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaub Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Solid roster to me. Way more depth in midfield than I remember, and that's without Arfield or Hutch (albeit I don't expect Hutch to play for us in the GC either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you guys think is the biggest snub? The Deltas? Leutwiler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheo Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Wait you mean we have games to talk about. Forget sometime in the CPL anticipation lol. Weird though how they say they will announce the roster at the game tonight and then release it today. Can't wait for the game though. Really nice to see a home game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_M Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Some players must have requested to come later. Arfield is not there, Cavallini while a Fresenga sitting on the bench in the second division of the same country is there...Will have to wait until announcements on June 1st and mid-June to make assessment of Zambrano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top cheese Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 All the same this friendly is merely a run out and a good opportunity to give some people some time in camp and have a look at guys. Surprised with Adekugbe not being there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCM Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Fresenga is a real surprise for me. Our def is frightening but depth chart for keepers even more brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazlo_80 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Cordova has a legit shot to claim a starting spot for gold cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have played a role though Borjan is coming and in the same league. What happened to Wotherspoon. One poster on here claimed he would be on the roster. Hopefully we see some reinforcements for the Gold Cup. Will be interesting to see the 40 man prelim roster.

Pottsy3 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Maybe it's just me but there seems to be an unusual amount of fullbacks on this roster and thats even with Edwards listed as a midfielder. I wonder if this means that Zambrano is looking to experiment with a 3-5-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, I remember that Fresenga played the exact same way Cordova does in getting forward from RB. And to me was good with the U23s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this means that Zambrano is looking to experiment with a 3-5-2 I just think they're looking for answers at that position. To me that seems like the most wide open spot on the roster. To that point its a little surprising Adekugbe didn't get a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince193 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I'm so over Jakovic. I'd much rather see Mallan Roberts and Amer Didic, both play at a similar level and are younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boominbooty Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I think this is a bit of an odd line up but on the positive sign it shows we are beginning to have depth! The fact that there are viable candidates not in the roster (but probably will be for Gold Cup) BUT that we have a good squad now: Borjan, Hoillett, AJH, Larin,Johnson, Akindele PLUS we are bringing in some guys who have been lighting it up in their respective leagues: Froese, Edwards, Cordova AND we have the luxury of trying some guys out: Fresenga, makes me think we are on the right path.
