Blackdude Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I'm taking into account the rules from 2 years ago. I would expect something similar for roster rules and selection The Gold Cup is a team of 23, including 3 goalkeepers. Teams will have a shortlist of 35 submitted 1 month before the tournament and the final list of 23 1 week before the tournament. After the first round, teams that qualify can change up to 6 players. Those 6 would be among the 12 not picked from the list of 35 and would replace other players who were on the initial roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on the bench for 1 game and came in as a substitute in their most recent game. Previous to that he was a steady starter. It is also pretty clear to see why his playing time has reduced in the last TWO games. Falkirk is out of reach of the automatic promotion spot but have enough points to be in the promotion playoffs, ie. these are meaningless games for them. Aird's contract is over at the end of season and he is very unlikely to come back to them barring promotion (which the club may not even want for financial reasons) so they are giving some playing time to players they will have next season. This is no reflection on his abilities and he should definitely be called for the Gold Cup given his performance against Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Ok the part that said we'll see payers selected that previously weren't due to various circumstances makes me think we got someone to commit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Arfield on the right and I think Raheem Edwards and Aird should assume the FB roles going forward now. Also with James and Attakora's play they are our most in form CBs and deserve the start. Both of the "fullbacks" play in attacking roles and we will be letting goals in like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottsy3 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 -----------------Larin----------------- Hoilett---------Arfield----------Aird ----Johnson-----------Hutchinson---- De Jong--James--Attakora--Ouimette ----------------Borjan------------------ I've always liked Ouimette when he plays for Canada and he's finally found a decent level where he gets frequent starts. Him and attakora are starting at the same level as Jakovic, Straith and Ledgerwood and seem to be having a fine start. There chemistry is going to continue to develop which may make them a fine option. I assumed that Tabla and Davies won't be there, but if they are I think that at least one of them should start in place of Aird. I like Arfield but I don't think he has the pace to play him out wide. Fraser is creative and fast, which is why I gave him that right wing spot. I could see Ricketts starting there instead but he's just so much better at striker. Bench: Thomas, Leutwiler, Vitoria, Straith, Tissot, Ledgerwood, Osorio, Piette, Bustos, Ricketts, Akindele, Haber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One American Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Larin ---- Hoilett Davies-----------Tabla Arfield-Hutch Cordoba-CB--CB--Johnson Borjan B: Tesho, RIcketts, Jackson-Hamel, Spoon, Osorio, Teibert, Aird, Edwards, Fraser, Stanese, CB, Thomas, Leutwiler James would of course take up one of the CB spots. One CB will go to a newcomer, Sadiki, Didic, etc. Fill out the center backs, add Cristante, then see whichever flank defenders emerge, and you start to see the outline of the pool going forward to 2020.

Floortom Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of changes from the recent rosters. im not going to assume Zambrano calls the same roster as Floro. Sure, there are a handful of automatic choices, but after that handful there is a lot of parity in our pool and I wouldn't be surprised if Zambrano goes in different direction than Floro.

It would be great if Zambrano could impress upon Hutch of the importance of showing up and helping Canada one last time. Also Zambrano needs to put some pressure on Tabla and get him to commit to the squad. Finally as mentioned above we need to pick guys who are actually getting minutes and playing meaningful games. Zambrano said in a interview last week that he is going to talk to Tabla and explain to him why Canada is his best option (don't remember where I heard the interview) things like he grew up here etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club Linesman Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 What about using Corbin-Ong at LB. He played well in his minutes against Scotland and his long throws into the box were tremendous and give us an attacking option. And he has started over 30 games this year.
