Very happy with that result.

How was the crowd? Guessing very small cause of weather

That is a good result - I was expecting us to get shanked.

Thanks for those links

Ricki gave Rojas a good wrap, if he keeps impressing like this, he might get some game time early in the season. Maybe ahead of Costa?

Also said that China is not confirmed yet, hope they get to go there, we need as many quality games as possible

I thought that Rojas also played wide? Thats where Costa has been used when he has had a shot with us  (though I know he's a striker)

Regardless of his exact position, we didnt give our youth much play last 2 seasons, he may make change that

Agreed.

I'm hoping Rojas gets himself a contract, being stuck in Christchurch I've never been able to see him play but he sounds great.

Anybody have any word on the severity of any of our players injuries?  Any of them look set to play in the match at QEII Stadium?

we should sign him and TERMINATE mulligan's contract.
Permalink Permalink

Reports suggested Mully wasn't complete rubbish today, but we'll wait for more detail before believing that.

Also, a contract termination would come off the cap... call it unlikely.

Good interview with Siggy on ZB at 5.15pm. Says he played 60min and hips is progressing well. Also talked about defensive lineup today of Vinny,Manny,Siggy,Mully.

A dog with a bone :)

Tony P interviewed before the game mentioned Rojas has / will be offered a contract.
 
Gave well deserved credit to Yellow Fever - take a bow all those involved in sponsoring the youngster - great effort, great result.
He dribbles a lot and the opposition dont like it - you can see it all over their faces. (Ron Atkinson)

Someone told me that Aaron Scott had been offered a contract, true or just speculation?

Ricki said "we have just signed a 17 yr and he was exceptional when we brought him off the bench." Picking that is Rojas, maybe it hasnt been officially announced yet.

TV3 had the goals.  Crowd 2000, 2 degrees.

Melbourne goal looked like it was a foul on Paston that knocked the ball out of his hand and then the ball was pushed back by Ward.
