I set a target out of the four games including Roar of 5 points, very tough month with Melb, Reds, Roar and Sydney. Will be satisfied with a point from this one but we need a win from one of the next three games.

Anyone know how bad Leo's injury is? If it is going to keep him out, I'd start with Daniel.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

I'm picking one change from yesterday's starting 11 - either Daniel for Diego or Lia for Ferrante. I suspect and hope it will be the later so I think your line-up will be right.
If he starts I hope Diego ups his game this weekend - he doesn't look like he has got out of second gear yet. I know we are only 3 games in to the season and combinations take time but it was clear from the first game that Ifill and Greenacre were very good acquisitions. Diego has yet to deliver the creativity he was signed to provide - fingers crossed he steps up against Sydney.
He dribbles a lot and the opposition dont like it - you can see it all over their faces. (Ron Atkinson)

Same team as last week. No change.
On a little roll. No one bad enough to be dropped

I suspect that Diego just has to put in the hard workrate to produce his best creativity. If there is a time for him to do well it should be now against Sydney.
For creative players like Daniel and Diego, it is sometimes putting the hard workrate in to get more opportunities to be creative. Creativity has an element of luck involved. This is sometmes not taught well.
As the saying says. "The more I work, the more luckier I am."
So here's hoping that they can put the hard yards expected of them.

I was going to say put Costa on the bench instead of Daniel but on Sunday Daniel looked likely and that cross to Greenacre was excellent, so I guess I can't now... (note on Sunday the Fox commentators gave Costa some wraps).
Lia for Muscat is the only other change I'd consider.
Although they are unbeaten so far Sydney certainly look beatable. They only snuck past NQF by one goal and although I only saw bits of the Adelaide game and didn't see any of their CCM ame from reports they have looked a bit average. If we play like we did for the last 75% of the game against Brisbane then Sydney could be there for the taking.

Simon, too big a gap in the middle for me, I'd - 1 DM = Lia and +1 Midfield = Daniel/Hearfield ( maybe start with Daniel and we'll see ) and bring Diego into the centre. Drop Lia/Ferrante from the bench for Costa/Rojas.
Never know unless you try. Sometimes players can't show all they have to offer just from the training ground. Mate I was a slack as trainer lol, but still got player of the year. So give 'em a go. I'd like to see the whole squad get a run to find their feet, before the games are "too important".
Though thats easy done, just sitting here.
I set a target out of the four games including Roar of 12 points, very tough month with Melb, Reds, Roar and Sydney. But then all games will be tough, even NQF will give us a good run for the points. I will not be satisfied with a point from this one. Should win the next three games.
Just hope RH can focus the team, before they take the field.

I think it's time to push Ferrante back out after not showing much in the last two, Costa should be on the bench this week IMO.

Sneaky c**t.... both you and Tiatto. And tbf he is an established part of their system like I said. Say Siggy was in a similar position for us we'd probably still play him because he's become an integral part of the side.You know we belong together...

I wouldn't consider Tiatto to be a very well established player for the roar though.

To me though. even though it hurts to say.
And ignore the obvious Position differences
If Siggy trained once a week and Daniel went to every training.
I would prefer Daniel.
To me, Someone who puts as much effort into training as they can should deserve that starting spot.

I was just using your hypothetical.
My guess is that in tiatto's case though.
He trains with the team, and keeps fit outside of training.
And every week proves that he deserves a starting spot during the game.
That and he is old (For a footballer)
Enough about Tiatto though.

Does that score line count as stupid dave?
Jokes oska.
2-1 to the nix is my prediction. My Spidey senses tell me its going to be close.
Sydney held central coast to a 0-0 draw at bluetongue.
I would expect a tough but good game at the SFCStefan2009-08-24 22:15:01

4-1 to the nix. Played it on Fifa tonight.
Ifill, Greenacre, then Lia blast from outside the box 2 mins after coming on in 60th. And also supersub Hearfield last couple of mins when all the Sydney men are pushed up, the volley from China that didn't count.
Their goal is just a lucky freekick (which are figgin hard to stop on World class on fifa)
In all seriousness.
Same line up will occur to last week unless Brown is fit.
Although I would really like to see Lia considered a start. Or give him a run at RB for a point to see how he goes. Could be the attacking RB we want?

Good news here, and makes the team pick for this week more interesting with Brown available
NZ Herald this afternoon
""Wellington Phoenix dangerman Leo Bertos has bounced back from a vicious tackle during his side's 1-1 draw against Brisbane Roar on Sunday and will be available for this weekend's A-League soccer match away against Sydney.
NZ Herald this afternoon
""Wellington Phoenix dangerman Leo Bertos has bounced back from a vicious tackle during his side's 1-1 draw against Brisbane Roar on Sunday and will be available for this weekend's A-League soccer match away against Sydney.
A shudder went through the Phoenix ranks when setpiece specialist Bertos was upended in a late sliding tackle from behind by a frustrated Roar striker Robbie Kruse in the dying minutes of the match
Bertos, who snatched the winner over Perth Glory with a 40m freekick for a 2-1 home win in their previous match, was struck in the right calf and struggled to get up.
However, a club spokesman told NZPA today that Bertos, who has been in sparkling form, appeared to have no lingering effects.
There were no injury problems for the club, with striker Paul Ifill, who started the Roar match with a niggle, expected to be fit for Sydney, the spokesman said.
Midfielder Tim Brown did not travel for the Roar match because of a groin injury but he too was expected to be available, the spokesman added.""
