Nix V WSW - Sunday 7pm SS1

 Can't wait to see Hersi against Lochhead.

did not think of this

Lochie will nail him
Salty Dogs should have downed this lot, so look to us to do the job instead

they did it to themselves .Not enough discipline

If they didn't want to get banned, they shouldn't have been letting of multiple flares every week. Good for us though, we need to capitalise on their silence by scoring a goal. 

*shudder*

if he is clever he will do some extra homework on his style of play after training

Brockie has even got his teammates on board in his bid to top the charts.

"(Paul) Ifill has been a nice gentleman and handed me the penalties for the rest of the season," the Phoenix striker revealed.

Greenacre in the Herald saying he was use one or two players we haven't seen all season but have a future with the club ---- DOWNEY!!!????

Do you speak le English ?

robbie ironside

 Hmmm I dont like the look of this.. Still worth playing our best team I reckon.

"As for whether Muscat would keep his position in defence, Greenacre again danced around the question.

"We are also looking to set things up for the future of the club so I'm hoping maybe to bring in one or two other players who maybe you've not seen and that's purely down to the future of the club," Greenacre said.

"So you might see one or two new faces, just one or two things we are contemplating. I don't really want to go in to who those players are but we've got players that we haven't seen so that's something we may look at in the last couple of games."

As for who those players could be, Cameron Lindsay, Ian Hogg and Michael Boxall have all been used sparingly this summer and may be given a chance to forward their case for a bigger role next season."

squad of 16 - Lindsay & Cernak added.

Expect Gameiro further forward and perhaps cernak to enter the midfield role. Unless cam is given a shot from the start?

subs; paston lindsay cernak fenton

boyd should get a proper shot up front and i think young cam def needs a run

well i imagine greenacre will want to keep the same shape and keep gamiero where he is? i guess cernak coud slot in where gamiero was and gamiero could move up front sure. not pushing anything. if anything i wouldn't have played him as much and looked earlier in the season about signing guys like cernak and gamiero

Gameiro said in an interview a couple of days ago that he was playing in a deeper role, more of an attacking midfield role, against WSW.  I suspect he'll be pushed further forward and we may see Lindsay come into the midfield (assuming we keep the same shape) or Cernak may swap at the tip of the diamond.  I assume the fact they've brought Lindsay into the squad means that a decision hasn't been made for him yet about next season and he may play

Think gameiro will go back up top with Huysrgems out. He mentioned telling the coaches he'd rather play there after last week. 

However Boyd will be worth a shot at ST as well if Cernak isn't fit enough to start. He has done a lot more to earn a start than many other nix players have done. Probably higher than Sanchez. And I'd even argue that he's done more than Ifill this season, bar maybe these past few games. 

However this game probably isn't the best time to throw him in

2-1 Nix.

Wow. 

Anyone know of a good pub to watch this in in Taupo?

 Lst time we were in Taupo we were watching A-League at Finn McCuhals.  That was a couple of years back now though.  Your other problem could be league clash.

Gives new meaning to the term Fire Up! 

Bumped into your goes doing a signing at Welly airport just now, they also had Pasty in-goals for penalty kicks, they wouldn't let me take a shot unless I took off my blue shirt....

:(

Guys were pretty good natured though, I got a "who let him in?" from Leo & Sea Monster plus a photo with Durante holding up the NZ passport.

who won the trip to Sydney?

At least it went to a genuine fan.

Not I sadly. Got Passport and everything, couldn't make it. (Insert crying smiley)

If this wasn't a thread about WSW, you'd get in serious trouble from the FFA about that!
