Interesting 3 games against other teams in and around the top 6. Can't really afford to lose any of them. Probably need 7 points.

Our next 3 games (WUN, PER, WUN) will potentially define whether we will make the top 6 or not. 

Anyone but Rufer to mark Diamanti please.

Fingers crossed we have Tayls and Reno back. 

I think our wide players, (full-backs and attacking mids) will have a big influence on how this game against WUN will pan out. Most of their play which have resulted in goals, have come from Diamanti playing out wide to Pain and Pierias. COYN! We have beaten them before and we can do it again!

Based on the 2nd half last week I'd like to see us try the Lewis + Devlin combo from the start this weekend

Talay said on Saturday that Taylor would likely be fit enough to be on the bench on Sunday, when they host Western United, as would Ridenton, but McGing, Hudson-Wihongi, and Piscopo would remain absent.
Piscopo could miss 3 more matches after this one !!

"Talay said on Saturday that Taylor would likely be fit enough to be on the bench on Sunday, when they host Western United, as would Ridenton, but McGing, Hudson-Wihongi, and Piscopo would remain absent." Piscopo unlikely to start until early May. 

Great to have a coach who still hasn't given up hope.

Never seen him play there, his various cameos have all been as one of the wide AMs I believe, interesting as I thought McGarry has been good. Back four of Sutton, Laws, Payne, Fenton could be a bit sus though, I like Payne but others worry me a bit.

No Diamanti for Western is huge though, he’s a baller and would’ve gave Lewis/Devlin a huge task

We don't have an overly strong bench, but hopefully we've enough to see them off, especially with no diamanti.  Bit gutting that Hemed is out, just when he's been starting to show what he can do.

The FFA does give a shyte as it was the W League Grand final played earlier tonight. A bit of research would have given you the answer instead of blindly blaming FFA for our late KO

 Looked to be carrying a knock last 30 minutes of last week. Could be injury related?

How does Sotorio start? He's an 80th minute substitute.

Not the first time this year either. I don't think Ufuk is a big fan, personally he's one of the first guys I'd have on the team sheet despite being poor last week.

I'm assuming Hemed is injured...? 

Edit, just saw higher in the thread he is.

I love the late kick offs, so each to their own, even prefer midnight in Perth if I'm honest!

Really liking how aggressive we have been so far. And how we're being more direct and sometimes just going long instead of holding the ball aimlessly. 
Good to see Wales up and about. He should really have come off though.. He passed out after that impact. We need concussion rules for the good of the players!

Yes, other sports are taking players off based on video evidence, not just concussion test.
