Can the Victory find some form or will Robbie Fowler FC brexit their way to the 3 points tonight?

Nabbout finds a ton of space at the back of the Roars defence. 0-1

Nabbout subbed off with a hammy problem. Victory's injury concerns continue.

The only thing worse than the football in this game, is the TV commentary

Part of me would love to see Foxtel lose the rights just so as I would never have to listen to Brenton Speed again. As for the football, even though MV are 1-0 up they look a very ordinary outfit this season. Roar have given them far too much space in the defensive third.

kosmina and thompson, horrible duo.

And it is a mystery to me why MV continue to persevere with Kenny Athiu. I like seeing young players develop into good players but sadly after 3 seasons this guy remains a plodder at best. 

Of course he'll definitely score now.

I always thought it was because he was a promising young talent until I realised he is in fact 27 years old. I don't think he gets another deal once this one is up.

Yes, I was just googling that very thing when you posted. Incredible, I thought he was about 21. Got to give him the flick surely.

Probably end up at the Nix!

Kamsoba butchers one. Only scores when he's offside.

The Roar have been abysmal tonight.

Toivonen hits the post from a free kick & then Athiu's shot cleared off the line.

Holloway has been an aerial threat since he came on. I thought Fowler let the game run on for about 10-15 minutes too long before he started to try to change the game.

He's a threat but that was some tedious and unimaginative football they were playing 2nd half. Long balls lobbed into the penalty area seems very archaic now days.

He is a CB turned into a Striker, his aerial presence is pretty much all he has to his game. If the Roar are just gonna spend 90 mins hoofing the ball into the box, its gonna be a tough season for Roar fans.

Admittedly I didn't watch the Melbourne Derby or F3 Derby but of the games I've seen this season, that was probably the worst.

Melb derby was dull and cagey, F3 was actually really good for once.

Agreed, Roar very unimaginative when chasing the game, but for a change up I thought he was good value. However as a former striker Fowler must be tearing his hair out at the almost point blank gimme missed by O’Donovan.

We should smash the roar, their only threat is Holloway who looked very good.

That is 500 tickets in addition to the season tickets sold. If that is true, its gonna be a rather poor crowd tomorrow for Western.

What a debacle if true. Canberra United backers and the other unsuccessful expansion bidders, have got a right to be angry.

Be interested how Arroyo goes today. First look last week wasn't that impressive.

Should have passed to Hoffman on the second chance. Two great chances for the Jets to score in the first two minutes and they didn't take them.

Moss is a decent A League keeper but he's never been the best under a high ball. Jets have handed this to the Reds on a plate.
