2014/15 Pre-Season - v Canterbury United | 2:30pm | Sun 28 Sept | RoF

Good way to get me into the home & garden show. My Mrs will love it.

Hope the Nix play isn't agricultural then....good idea tho to maybe capture some more people who time their visit to the show and might then come to a later game.

Moss, Muscat, Bonevacia, Rodriguez, Brockie, Riera, Sigmund, Doyle, Durante, McGlinchey, Burns

XI.

And yes I think so.

who is on the bench for this game?

Subs for the Nix, Caira, Boxall, Brindell-South, Cunningham, Boyd, Rufer, Hicks, Fenton, Lia, Italiano, Krishna, Ridenton.

How do you think the people attending the Home and Garden Show feel having to watch Canterbury United play?

Fixed. ;o)

Bring on Roy

what position is Louis playing?

Wellington Phoenix ‏@WgtnPhoenixFC

57' Sydney go to the bench again and bring on @ShaneSmeltz who replaces Gameiro.

Probably somewhere in the midfield since he came on to replace Rodriguez

Wide right apparently. 

he will be enjoying the opportunity to play there

I hope the reality was more exciting than the tweeting

I'm pleased with a clean sheet.  Goals still tough to come by.  As some predicted we've improved the squad overall but I worry we haven't replaced the goals we got from Carlos and Steyn

Yip. I haven't seen a lot of us this pre season but the lack of goals has to be an issue. Keeping that Sydney team scoreless is a fair effort though.

Where is Hard News and his "Not a Striker" formation when you need him?

Doesn't sound that positive, I've yet to read in any of the matches any real chances etc from burns. We probably need close to 10 goals from him

I think giving all available players some game time this close to the start of the season is more important than results. Its the only opportunity the coaching staff can get a good indication of where the squad is at and what may require tweeking prior to the season commencing. 

Finding the net in pre season is one thing but i'd much rather our players were prepared to perform at their peak come 19th October.

I know that Perth Glory aren't exactly the best team in the competition, I would prefer our lads to be at their peak for 12th October...

I just realised my error whilst cleaning the toilet.
