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.

Nothing about this post is true. 

I think the Pengelly part is true. better anti jinx now then never.

Pengelly's record is impressive but when you find out whose record he broke, it takes a little bit of shine off it. I just dunno how good the Queensland NPL really is.

[Edit: Also, despite all those goals they are 5th in the Queensland NPL atm, 15th points off 4th.]

Bris Strikers have a good record playing at home, With the Nix jet lagged and missing key players like Fenton i predict a hard fought lose. 4-1 Strikers. 

Wouldn't really call Fenton a major loss atm, with us playing a back 4 we don't know how he'll hold up there

Hmm, I didn't have Brownlie. Looking into it deeper, the actual number is 5 ex Nix players have played for the Strikers. So two more to be named.

Brownlie, Dodd, Smeltz, Mckain and... North

Bonus is Scott Higgins that never got onto the field for the 'Nix as an injury replacement 'keeper.

So with Davila and Sotirio out, I'm assuming we line up like this:

Marinovic, Cacace, DeVere, Taylor, TAHW, Rufer, Payne, Devlin, McCowatt, Ball, Waine.

Subs: Sail, McGing, Scott, Elliot, Sutton, Van Huttum.

It'll be an interesting and youthful line-up which looks pretty solid defensively, my only worry is there's not a lot of experience around Ball. Still think we should get the job done though, really excited for tomorrow night

Annual finals disappointment enthusiast.
