9th win in a row for WSW coming up? Probably.

This could be a horror show.  I'm hoping not.  I'd take a draw if it was available.

1-1 draw if we play smart. could well be a 6-0 thrashing if we don't

It will be interesting to see what line up Greenie plays. With RH you could pretty accurately guess the lineup most weeks, but Greenie mixed it up a bit in Dunners. Will be interesting whether he keeps such an attacking lineup or readjusts for WSW away (e.g. swaps back Bertos/Manny to revert to 2 holding mids).

WSW are due to suffer an upset loss at some stage this season, this game could be it.

Nix have only pride to play for, pressure is kinda off or the other hand WSW the pressure is on the up and after there win against CCM, they could take this one too easy.

2-0 Nix
 

Have been wrong in the past and will be wrong again but hopefully will be correct this time.

Best thing about it fo me is that we will go into this game with at least a bit of confidence restored after last weekend. The players might actually have got a bit of belief back.

That said, it's gonna be a huge ask to get anything out of this one. I'd be delighted to come away with a point.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Their streak started against us, time for us to put things right. Really couldn't stand WSW winning either the season or the toilet seat.

this. can't wait to see the other clubs moaning and complaining that the FFA have basically rigged the league so that WSW could win it first season in.

IF we play like we did in Dunedin, I can see us taking a "shock" win!

Would love for us to beat them...

 Gameiro and Brockie interchanging? Seemed Gamiero was a bit wasted in the hole. Didn't have the same impact.  Though i did like the formation. Bet Ricki is spitting tacks at Manny playing at right back.

Manny also scored us two winners from runs out of right back last season and hasn't looked likely at all from the defensive mid position.

Will have to be a change as Stein is suspended, yeh?

Opposite day: Instead of playing incredible shitty we should play incredible awesome. At this stage we have to win every game.

What about Cernak, when is he coming back?

He only scored one winner. The other goal put us in the lead, but we still lost that game.

Pretty much this. We'll have to play a lot better for the whole 90 minutes, and hope WSW don't fire on all cylinders, to get anything out of it.

I would rather go for the win. Not like it matters if we lose 8-0... Nothing to gain from playing defensively imo.

depending heavily on scorelines from other games...... Won't happen. The players should be fighting for contracts next year now.

Fuck that, go for the win as long as we still have a minute mathematical chance of making it in.

This. Surely the players can show they are worth another contract by getting the team into the playoffs?
