Syd FC away

[bikinigirl]

On paper the Sydney side doesn`t look too bad.
Hutch really needs to show his leadership by driving the team all the way to the finish line.

. i think some of the defensive cover hutch has provided recently has shown that leadership and responsibility. i can't believe he and arnie won't have been driving home the consequences of a slip in concentration after wellington's late goal

Another chance to go clear again with Adelaide losing to Brisbane. I think this time we will take the three points comfortably.

For me, this game determines if we are title contenders. Sydney, an already shit side, are down personnel. We know this and need to be mentally switched on to ram home a thumping and send a real message to the rest of the competition. In the past, our small team mentality has resulted in us switching off. I hope the boys turn it around today.

Who is attending this? A nice away game in the festive season.
Sainsbury to RB. Anderson to right centre half.
3-0 to the good guys. McBreen, Bernie and Sainsbury.

All Mariners fans welcome to The Bat and Ball pre - post game, $10 burgers and chips, quality burgers too! A couple of cold ones? all welcome.

Grapevine says Patrick is injured ... who will come in to defence? KB Hotel, Foveux Street on the way up the hill before the game is the usual spot. Thanks for the info re Bat and Ball - how full of Smurfs is it usually?

 

[pjennings]

What is the story with Troy? Is he injured?

 

[shipwreck]

Nooooo

 

[scoober]

patrick was getting treatment but will play.... i hope

 

[midfielder]

To late I guess ... but with PT saying he was going to offer ADP a contract on the coast a banner with come to the coast ... its better than that dirty world of crime, tar and cement ....

Maybe a chant ... come to the coast mate and join a real Football team in Gods country...

 

[Golly]

im feeling minimum 4 goals to ccm and 1 great strike from ADP

It's generally the away supporters' pub. Personally, I like the Excelsior for pre-game tacos, though ritual demands a beer in the KB.

H is a prospect - pace, engine, loves to get forward. Played full season at CB for Sutherland in NSWPL at 17

Glinch is way off his game tonight...

 

[iEatHands]

Shocker.. Absolute shocker. It's going to leave a bitter taste on the NYE game with some key guys missing.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

As far as I'm concerned.

We should NEVER speak of that game again.

NYE is simply a chance to try some fringe players.

Moving on without another word.

 

[Jocwa08]

Well f**k me!!
Filthy
Absolute mess tonight

The night the boys potentially threw away the premiership.
Rogic stupid!!
Hutch well done you f**ked that up
Del piero, f**kin hell how much do refs favour him, sure good player but come on!!
Emerton all over roses back, very overrated
Ryan average
Mcglinchey shocking corners, give pedj a crack
Rose, bad errors
Sainsbury mom if we had one
Morton I thought average, Abbas too much time late in the game.
Bus driver.. Wtf!!

Good luck next week without rogic hutch and mcbreen

 

[Fishsdad]

Positives? Morton had a strong debut (thanks to PJ for the background on him), and we created two fantastic chances. Sainsbury is a fantastic CB

We just couldn't find each other with passes, and we couldn't capitalise on either of the chances.

As FP has noted, we will have some fringe players in for NYE. Hopefully we will get a look at Caceras, and maybe Ollie will get a run on the left with McGlinchey taking on the 10 role and Bernie being switched to the right (or taking the striker role).

 

[finally retired]

it's me. I'm the unlucky charm. I've been away since before the first game of the season...and have only managed to see the last 2 games........a poor draw against the Nix and now a poor loss to the bottom team. Aaaaarrrggghhhh!!!!!!! I'll be back home in time to see the New Years Eve game...but dare I go ????
