We started winning towards the end of November. Jeggo left in the middle of January didn't he? He was still there for at least 7 games after the turnaround. Very harsh on Babajl was injured in pre-season and then cops a serious knee injury.
Yes we won a few games whilst Jeggo was here but thought we really stepped up once Mauk came in. Mauk just clicked instantly with the team and was a real catalyst for our finals push.
Babalj isn't good enough, if fit and not injured I still wouldn't have him in by starting XI
I too think Jeggo was ordinary.
The player who seems to be forgotten is Jordan Elsey. Pretty sure he never started again after being suspended for too many yellows in the second half of the season. This kid can play. United re-signed him up mid year when interest was being shown by at least 3-4 other A League clubs & overseas clubs also.
His passing is excellent, he gets to the right spot time & time again and he's not worried about going in hard - which makes opposition players think twice. It's a true reflection on how balanced United were, that Elsey only got limited minutes when he came back.
Plus La Rocca and McGowan are upgrades and better players.
