Don’t worry, our game will definitely be on @skysportnz for your viewing! We will confirm channel closer to the time

We are not the main game, so the TV feed won't be very good but better than nothing.
We will be having a special FFA Cup kit for the game, so that should be released soon & we will finally know who the new kit supplier will be.
Mr Positive
really hope we can at least make it past this round so we can get another competitive hit out before the start of the season
Jeez this has crept up quick. Honestly don't care if we get through; but you're right - more competitive fixtures would be handy.

In terms of hit outs, I do wonder if getting through to the next round is really all that great for us. Would it be better to have another FFA Cup fixture (given we will have to travel) or try and tee up a couple more over here before the start of the season?
If the club decides that they want to give a good account of themselves in the Cup and try getting through to later rounds then great, but if we are just treating these fixtures like warm ups for the league season, then is there much benefit in winning?

Woo-hoo, first post of the new season!
I ask this every year, but have we ever made it past the first round of the FFA Cup?
I think we should definitely give it a good crack, travel or no travel.
Uffie has said the cup is one of his season objectives and so it should be. Wouldn't it be nice to win some silverware?

We have, beat CCM in 2015/2016 season. Appiah's only goal for the Nix. From memory, we got thumped 5-1 by City in the next round.

I suppose my comment was based around us seeming to treat the cup like a training exercise in the past. That may not have necessarily been the case, it has just felt that way. I therefore wondered if a one off game against an Aussie State side - where we might have played reserves and still have all the travel etc - would have been better than staying in camp and organising games here.
In saying that, I didn't realise it was only the final that was in-season. Never paid a whole lot of attention to the cup as the Nix have never seemed overly bothered by it (plus I'll likely never see a game live). According to the Marinovic interview, Talay wants a deep run in the cup so hopefully they put out a strong side and do the business.
I absolutely believe we should be giving the FFA Cup a really good go and trying to win the thing. None of us will be complaining about playing too many games and travelling if we've got a big shiny trophy to show for it at the end. I might be wrong but we haven't won too many of those yet ...
Bloody hard to win a cup when every single game is an away one. I like that we're not just treating it as a friendly this year, but the odds are stacked against us more than they are in the league.

Agree - don't think we will win it but the attitude should be "we want to win it".
Was guttered by this result. Played against Maitland in my youth. Great club. Shame they had to relocate the match to another ground too. Anyone who has ever played or even stood to watch a match at Cook Gardens you will know just how much advantage they lost

What are the odds of the match being shown on Youtube outside of Aus/NZ as it happens during the regular season?

Thanks! Got a Vpn so let's give that a whirl and hope I get to watch at least two FFA cup games in those three months...

Trips away are great for team bonding, and travel is fun at the start of the season with a youngish squad. If the game was an extra fixture mid season then it would be painful - best pre-season games would be competitive ones. Good luck New Nix.

Another 3 goals for the Brisbane Strikers' Andy Pengelly vs the Roar youth today and it isn't even half time. We are gonna have to watch out for him.
As we are only treating this game as a pre season friendly we might as well play the same starting lineup that played West last week.
Andy Pengelly should put 3 or 4 past us.

Do you ever have anything positive to say?

"Coach Ufuk Talay has made no secret of his desire to target the FFA Cup and Marinovic echoed those sentiments at training on Monday, pointing out that a cup run would guarantee the Phoenix more competitive matches in the lead-up to the new A-League season."
(Stuff 29/07/19.)
Where did the idea this was a friendly come from? Mainstream media reporting it is something they want to win.

Predicted line up?
Would imagine it will be Elliot or Hudson-Wihongi at RB, as they were the two who started the two friendlies (with Scott the only player not to start at least one of them).

36 and counting for the season now for Pengelly, surpasses Royce Brownlie's tally of 34 in the 2014 #NPLQLD campaign.

[Edit: Also, despite all those goals they are 5th in the Queensland NPL atm, 15th points off 4th.]
Predicted line up?
I hope we will get an effective number 8 before the season starts.
Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

Be a huge surprise if Scott plays RB. Has barely featured in pre season games so far, only replacing Cacace at LB. Elliot and Hudson - Wihongi appear to be ahead of him
