Season 15: Week 8

DJ Brox playing his 300th game for the Victory tonight.

A late change to our team tonight, Brandon Lauton replaces Storm Roux who misses out due to illness.

Thuggish little bugger and only a mother could love that face, but have to say he's an incredibly consistent performer. You can put him in just about any position on the field and he'll do a job for you.

The way these two teams are going lately this one can only be a draw.

A few boos from the Northern Terrace for Kruz

Brandon Lauton has picked up an injury in the warm-up and won't play, Anthony Lesiotis steps into the starting XI.

Kruse taps one in, 1-0

Kruse tearing the Glorys defense's right hand side apart

Well at least they've switched to booing Castro now.

Bruno with an open goal and he hits the crossbar! 

So many seagulls

Victory hang on for a 1-0 win but eff me that was a dire second half.

So Crocombe dropped?

Ignore, got mixed up

That was a bit rubbish,  hopefully it gets better in the second half. 0-0

ROD pokes one home,  1-0

It's a mystery to me why DWH hasn't featured a lot more for Roar this season. He's a real livewire up front.

Neville leaps over two defenders and heads one home,  2-0

Both games this weekend have been a bit rubbish, hopefully the second game tonight can entertain

God, the passing accuracy in this game is terrible.

Another great save by Lopar.

Jets are looking rather dangerous,  just cant finish atm

big save by Mossy

I thought that was a penalty myself

Likewise. But with Ams everything's a lottery.

Mossy! Fantastic double save.

WSW piling on the pressure now

A game of two keepers this one. That's yet another save with his leg by Lopar.

Thurgate!! 1-0

Something had to give.

Which has made this season more interesting to watch. I never bought the argument that import keepers are bad for the league. Watching quality keepers make quality saves is a much better spectacle for fans than a succession of howlers. I'd argue the imports have helped pull the whole standard up.

That's the game in the bag for the Jets.

Thurgate beats the offside trap and sets up Petratos for a tap in, 2-0

Berisha 'rested' by Rudan?

Not surprising. That's Rudan's MO.

ALF finds Kurto flapping and picks up a sausage roll. 0-1
