AFC Cup

[turbo]

Such poor defending you'd almost think there might be some match fixing going on!

I'd be lying if I said it hadnt crossed my mind while watching the goals..

Isn’t it 3pm Sunday?

Forecast is for 23 and showers. Perfect weather for football.

Yep, Sunday.
Whoops. Still a fresh Niz and Ballard and full first team against the Vuc is still the go.

 

[Wombat]

Lets not muck about with our line up too much. I've got money on us!

 

[Michael]

I’d like to see a very similar starting side to the weekend, maaaaaybe drop Alou but tonight could build his confidence, flog these blokes then make some subs early second half.

Have to keep momentum going and continue to build the confidence for the league games.

 

[FFC Mariner]

League game is massive at the weekend. We dont know how the injuries to Paull and to a lesser extent Kaltak have fared this week.
I'd expect to see Smith, Paull if hes fit, maybe Doka but I feel he is slipping down the peckimg order. Ditto DWH.
Agree - chuck Reec in up top if nothing more than to motivate Alou. Can always hook him if its not working

 

[Stuartmcateer]

There’s enough football left in the a-league season to try and secure top spot tonight and still make top 6.

The additional coverage and sponsorship opportunities (plus more than likely bonus payments from current sponsors) makes topping the group vital.

Go hard tonight I reckon.

send the kids to play the laguna in a fortnight with extended minutes for the fringe players.

Absolutely this - go hard tonight and win the group. Lighter squad to travel in a fortnight.

Buoyed by the league win, at home, weather looking okayish? And wanting to atone for losing against them earlier…bring it on I say!

 

[midfielder]

Should be a good night

 

[Ironbark]

One thing I think is valuable is another chance for the starting 11 to gel.

Terengganu should be *easier* than a-league opposition, although they'll throw everything into this to stay in it.
I'd go a mostly first 11, give a break to 1 or 2 usual starters. If we get far enough ahead then take 5 key starters off for a break earlier than later.

Winning this game will make a bigger difference later when we can take a string of youth and reserves overseas for the final dead rubber group match

 

[Hello Sailor]

Thunderstorm with potential damaging winds and large hail? I think I'll watch it on telly

Game will have to be delayed .. if not cancelled.

This is reminiscent of last years opener against the Jets?

 

[Rising Sun]

If the BoM radar prediction is right, it's going to stop right about kick off time

 

[shipwreck]

Lol who the f**k said the weather was nice?

 

[Tim]

Any updates on the game? I’d usually leave shortly but not keen to hit the roads if game cancelled/postponed.
