Match 8 vs Melbourne Victory | Wed 24th Feb | 9:05pm | SS7

Short turn around for both side. Victory seem to have a bunch injured atm as well. 

got a feeling if we don’t beat them on Wednesday we never will

oerfect time to beat them, they are under the pump with results and are struggling to find fit players.

Post match Talay said Sail will be in goal again for this match

I would be keen to see who from our team against WSW will take the field again. Some would have been really tired at the end of that game, and I am happy Uffie gave Davila and Piscopo an early shower.  

With Sail in goal we are going places, Rojas will be back for the Vuc unfortunately. 

They are down on their luck and have really sucked so far this season. As far as I'm concerned it's a 6 pointer, and a winnable one at that, especially if we display the same fighting spirit and attacking intent asagainst WSW

Agreed. Surely, Brebner's last game in charge!

I stopped making predictions after our game against the Jets, the team that lost all games till then.

Highly doubt Hemed will be available for this game.

Victory will be fired up for a win and this game is already set to be the "Battle for the spoon". When it comes to games like these we just cant compete with the big clubs. Sail to keep us in the game 0-0 draw.

Game vs Victory will be very crucial in terms of our placing. We're gonna have to win by a big margin. Goal difference proving the difference between a lot of teams this season. Unlike the last couple of seasons, there's no easy team this season. Quite difficult to pick who will make the top 6 with every team giving it their all. We've got a couple of games on hand against most of the teams in the top 6 so we have to make those games count towards maximum points if we want to have a good season. 

No Ins, No Outs for the first interstate trip. 

Devlin & Laws okay to start?

Ball & Hemed both back for Jets this weekend?

Could see this? Would like to Devlin in the midfield with Lewis to see how they'd operate but can see Uffie sticking with Rufer

'win by a big margin' - why?

1-0 will be more than adequate 

Sorry to channel Royz here but I never get my hopes up for Victory games in Victoria, so many bad memories.

guys this is the one we get up for and bang in 5 goals !! Coyn!

Fire Up!

The league is really tight this season. You can't really count any team out. In the end, it may be the goal difference which could boost us into finals series.

MV bringing out all the big guns. 

We need to be really fired up for this one. MV will be after all the media they have been kopping. Hope McGarry is up for a big game. He is going to have his hands full with McManaman. 

COYN

You can do this.

Time to really click and bang in a few.

Lewis dropped?

Wow, we are playing with only 1 visa player in starting line up. Just shows how much belief and faith Ufuk has in the young ones. Good to see them stepping up too. 

COYN!

surprised Laws didnt come back in. I hope the players who played against WSW can last. it is a big ask. 

Pathetic comment. They certainly are. Perhaps not as they were but still a big club.by any standards 

Interested to see how Gestede goes..

Well given the other two visa players are either suspended (Ball) or injured (Hemed), Talay doesn't have much choice.

Don't we only have three visa players? Hemed is injured and Ball suspended. Davila is the only one available.

Louis Fenton to score for the Sand Chickens in a 1-0 win over the Victory...

Something wrong with MyFootball?? Under "MVC vs WPX" they only show a 41sec clip from the last City game...

I also dont see the game yet, probably forgotten there is a game tonight, they are a bit crap

the my football stream not set up?

Edit: ahh the panic is worldwide 

That's what I was asking...

Gotta say, we have the most attractive players of all the a league teams. So even if we suck this year, there’s always that..

great save Oli Sail

Well might call it a night and see if they have uploaded the game tomorrow.

Great job, MyFootball!
