At least they're not sitting on their hands. The one guy who thinks we need to sign more players from L1O will be happy.

Or I can wait and I'm sure the parrot will post the northerns story on this a day or two from now with lots of extra details. I don't think Cela ever played centreback when with Forge, I remember him more as an outside back. He's fast, good on the ball, but I don't remember his defensive ability ever really standing out. Yet again, limited viewings as he hasn't really seen the pitch much as a professional. Bison44, K Edgar and johnyb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K Edgar Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Siaj on the list too . Good news is Samake is not in the list! so "Recovery Protocol" means further from ready than "Return to Play Protocol"? Great that Valour shared this info!

jonovision Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Some weird language here. "Return to play" protocol usually refers to a concussion. Otherwise I don't really understand what the difference is between "return to play" and "recovery". Considering the "day-to-day" players are not making the trip to Calgary (per one of the other articles posted above) it looks like Ohin and AJB are in the "not anytime soon" category.

There is difference between heathy enough to train and healthy enough to play. That said, it would be nice to have a few bodies back, especially Samake and Pianelli.

EnigMattic1 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) Ok, totally unrelated to the upcoming match or current injuries but, given that ChatGPT is all over YouTube at the moment, I thought it would be funny to ask ChatGPT to suggest a good starting XI for the current Valour side. This is the response: Goalkeeper: James Pantemis Defenders: Arnold Bouka Moutou (RB) Andrew Jean-Baptiste (CB) Rocco Romeo (CB) Jonathan Sirois (LB) Midfielders: Daryl Fordyce (CM) Brett Levis (CM) Moses Dyer (CAM) Forwards: Austin Ricci (RW) William Akio (CF) Jared Ulloa (LW) This formation allows for attacking flexibility on the wings with Austin Ricci and Jared Ulloa, while William Akio leads the line as the central forward. Moses Dyer can provide creativity and goal-scoring opportunities from the midfield, while the defensive trio of Andrew Jean-Baptiste, Rocco Romeo, and Jonathan Sirois should help to solidify the backline.

I mean considering that Chat GPT's data is still limited to 2021 (I think), this is just about the best you could put together. Other than Sirois at LB, but then again, who's to say he'd do badly there if it hasn't been tried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Observer Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Wow. If ChatGPT was available about 10 years ago, it probably would have given Floro the inspiration to get two keepers on the pitch at the same time. jonovision and narduch 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Kind of a silly exercise, and I can't really comment on the non-Valour players here. But it's good to see Gutierrez being recognized. There have been some other notable performances (de Brienne and Niyongabire have had a standout match each) but Diego is really the straw that stirs the drink for Valour. Looking forward to watching him in action close-up on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you are easier to notice when you have been almost the best player in the league for the first month of the season. The biggest difference is that the departure of Rea and retirement of Fordyce, along with Campbell joining the squad, has allowed Gutierrez to play further forward in what seems like his natural position for the first time since he joined Valour. It's tough to win accolades doing DM duty. I don't think Diego has played all that much better than in past seasons, just in a more noticeable and arguably more important area of the pitch.

I assume that means that the other injured will not be returning quite yet. If that's the case, I believe Valour will have to dress at least one injured player to make up the numbers.
