Match 26 vs Macarthur | Fri 4th June | 9:05pm | SS7
2-0 win to the Nix.
And the Mexican supporters in the stands - they would have to just wear the tricolor, and not a combined split Nix/Bulls top.
Big call that one. Breaking their defence was a problem for us and they're not up there on the ladder for no reason. Are we better than Perth? After beating them 3:0 in the 'Gong, yeah sure. Did we get a result against them last Sunday? Not the one we wanted.
We’re a much better attacking team than we were. Part of our problem is we are two attacking teams- Uli lead or Tomer lead...interesting choices for Uffie.

Partially the current problem in attack might lie with Ball playing on with an obvious knee injury, and an uncertainty what to do with Ben Waine when we play with Hemed. Tomer seems to be working well with any of Ball, Sotirio and Piscopo, and by now has a nice thing going with Fenton playing short passes to him high in the "enemy territory". It is a much more fluid situation with our Davila centred team but if he starts, Waine may actually shine. But I would be loath to bench Hemed. It may be his last game.
Think if we do make top 6 we are capable of beating anyone with it looks like pretty much all our key team being available for selection.
Bring on next season!
why would you not watch tonight? You're saying you only watch the team when they have a chance of being in the finals? What kind of "fan" does that.
Talay has said that he wants to win tonight even if they aren't a chance of getting into the finals. The team deserve our support regardless.
Davila's 50th and maybe (?) final game for the nix, continuation of our unbeaten run (10), make the record 11, still heaps to play for even though it's not finals footy.

Really feels like hes played more. I'm still pissed off he's leaving. I understand it, but it doesn't piss me off any less. We, the fans deserved more, but again, I understand.
A must win!
Hope we see some 2nd tier players to get a run tonight as appreciation for their work in training. Sad to see Davilla go, great player, so good to watch, will be a nightmare to play againts him. Talay will find a replacement for Uli, there are more good players out there.

I have noticed that Ufuk doesn’t do much rotation with players, there never seems to be many changes, if any, to lineups, and he also seems to leave substitutions late. I can’t really remember him using all 5 substitutes, at most 3 and always quite late. In the last 10 games Ridenton (0), Hudson-Wihongi (0), Muratovic (0), McGing (0), Lokoli-Ngoy (24) and Rufer (169) have played collectively 0.03% of available minutes. The only real time I remember Ufuk doing proper rotation and surprising with lineups was after the restart last season, and we saw that Callan Elliot, who likely would have not been given a run, was a revelation and ended being someone we didn’t want to see leave.

We also haven't had the ability for our players to drop down to get game time or have promising youngsters to call upon, which other clubs have been able to do.

Game on 15th March against WSW (that exciting 4-3 loss) Talay made a host of changes from the game prior. Including Waine's first start this season, Hemed's first appearance, Rufer as a RB (Fenton suspended?).
From memory was part freshen up/rotation (Nix were travelling alot), and part mixing things up/trying something different.
The only thing worse than Davila taking a pen in this match and missing would be him burying it. I can't think of anything more depressing.
Hopefully Ben Old gets a start or decent minutes, to provide something interesting about the match.
It will also be worth watching if Rufer scores his first goal, it has to happen one day right?
Does this game have any bearing on our FFA cup draw and what round we enter at?
