Nix @ CCM, Thursday 7th Feb 9:00pm SkySports 3

We are gonna get dicked.  I just know it.

A three goal win could get us into the top 5. 

We want four.

You know what happened last time you said this.....

Poll on link above has 93% picking CCM win...what do they know.

so, if the post about Piney's prediction is accurate it's looking like one of our regular back four to start

certainly gives Ricki a plausible story to tell about bringing Lochy in for Hogster (for this match perhaps)

midfield looking a bit unaccusatomed to each other

oh well, Iffil to provide the magic then

That will be the 7% that were in Auckland.

 Voted for what again?

LOL

Tough game for us tomorrow. Even a draw would crucial, extending our positive string of results to 3 on the trot (which after 4 losses in 6 games would be awesome) but looking at the way we've played in the last two games, I frankly doubt we've got it in us.

Also, the latest injuries (esp. Bertos - quite happy that Lochy's got the flu!) make things more difficult for us.

I'd love it if we lined up like this

                                                                                   Mossy

                                                            Moosecat     Dura (c)    Boxall      Hogg

                                                                            Lia           Smith

                                                                 Ifill             Cernak       Fenton

                                                                                   Brockie

Subs:

Paston

Boyd

Waffles

Dirty Sanchez

No Smith please.

 Can't exactly play anyone else at RB so.... Moosecat will have to play there.

You can choose to swap Smith with:

- Linsday

- Sanchez (in which case you'd have to pull Cernak back to CM, which sorta doesn't make sense as he is a creative player and should play AMF, and also Cernak-Lia...not so sure about that combo)

You guys are aware that just because 93% of people vote for CCM to win doesn't mean they will. COYN!

The poll was also only up on the CCM site, so all their fans would have voted for them. Online polls are hardly scientific.

I still remember that new years eve game in gosford that we won 2 nil.  It was awesome

Local bar?

A gentleman never tells...

 Weather for the game is 15 to 28.

 Ah very good, thanks Patrick

Yeah it was a bit of a bizarre situation.

Back four will be interesting. Maybe play Lochie on the right to keep Manny in midfield.

Huzzah!

just not allowed to score

Fire up! All I want for my birthday is 3 points. #DontStopBelievin

I would.

I'd rather patch the right back spot than move out only decent midfielder out of midfield and try and patch that.

Bring back Tim Brown on a 10-game guest contract?
