R27: Victory away

[scottmac]

It would be sad to see Roy go, we never unlocked his potential.

I don't agree. I think his last 2yrs is him at his best. I don't believe he'll be a golden boot striker at a different team. What did Roy do before us?

Well mark my post "disagree" brah!
I think at a full tilt team he could push for golden boot.
Top three scorer at any rate.

He was our top scorer on 11. The next guy was on 5.......

I also don't give a rats what anybody did before us....in our shirt is all that matters.

Matt Simon scored 11 twice for us too and look what came after him. He's no berisha or fornaroli. I stand to be corrected and only time will tell but i just don't see it getting better for him.

While Connor has had a good season his form against Victory has not been stellar. I'm sure that he wants to impress against his old club and that may have been the problem in the other two games. I hope he can rectify it in this game, I want Connor to have a blinder in this one.

Last week was his best game in a long time but the opposition was poor. Here's hoping he finishes the season the way he started, making us laugh at Austin

It`s being reported the Jets are chasing Austin, seems quite fitting now I look at it

Wanted to go to a big club where he can develop.......

Scum it is then

Soooo Laurie figures he'll take Austin if he can't get FBK? X-D

Just thinking about it though - we should be playing like the spoon is up for grabs.

Because it is.

You're correct in saying that the spoon is up for grabs, but I suspect that Okon will see this as the last opportunity to see players in action he is still assessing for next year. I expect to see some 'surprise' selections in this evening's team.

Posco late inclusion in squad for Ashcroft (ankle injury)

Something must be going on with Posco's contract, he was listed as out for 3 weeks with a knee injury on Thursday.

4 years ago today Daniel McBreen scored to give us a 1-0 win over Victory. Today I'm tipping Roy to do the same. Let's hope we can shut them down as well as four years ago as well.

My fiance surprised me with tickets and this season's top (star trek kit is getting long in the tooth) for my birthday. Looking forward to this, AAMI has been the scene of some fantastic Mariners moments, let's do it again!!

My biggest question mark going into this was Roy as I thought his performance was again lack lustre against scum. Did not take his chances and did not try and give hell to the CB's like he typically does. Clearly been missing his edge the last few weeks imho.

But I think a final game against Victory and a good crowd will see him lift tonight.

Problem is... I think Victory are clearly stronger than us in all three areas on the park. So against a superior side I think we need to face reality and work to destroy their game, not continue to assume we can beat them by playing 'our way' as though that were the only mantra in football.

We do not have the ability to dictate or hold possession against all sides. And I think our set up does not stack up well against Roar or Victory. Nor the kiwis speed and directness for that matter. Against the others.. it's ok. And if on song, we can beat them with our game, but without Victory crumbling, or us playing out of our skin, I think we will lose again if we look to play our limited style of possession football tonight. (Though I'm not anti our style -- and I want to be wrong)

Budget has been rubbish lately, wouldn't surprise me if he isn't injured.

You got that right. One of our worst starting 11's of the season. Tempted to get a bet on.
