We really REALLY need to win this one and with the current situation of suspensions and injuries players need to step up! Perhaps Costa with a start to try and fill the Greenacre hold or possibly Chen  (or maybe not) anyway.....
 
Your thoughts?
 
Team im thinking:
 
 
             Crowther
 
Troy    McKain    Dura     God
 
         Lia            Brownie
 
Leo                                 ADRIAN
             Ifill    Costa
 
Bench:
Gould
Daniel
Chen
Mulligan

Just what we need next up.  Another away game where we always play complete crap.

Get Chen off that bench for Ferrante (not ideal, I know).

I'm not happy with that line-up but it's the best we have.  We need to bring in strikers for injury cover and when that happens shove Ifill a bit further back.

Sigmund and Muscat, I blame the likelihood of us missing out on the play-offs and possibly finishing last completely on those two muppets.

Agree except with Daniel for Caceres, and Diego or Rojas on the bench ahead of LOLligan

How is Caceres up front? Seems like he has the right sort of skills,but i dont know if he ever has played there before,or if he has and has been rubbish.
 
Random thought.

Allegedly

Yea i hear you i was just thinking we had no defensive cover last night and troy was lacking a little so maybe Mulligan with some fresh legs but it is mulligan so yea....but like the idea of rojas

I think

     Crowther
Disco McKain Durante Lochhead
         Lia    Brown
Bertos               Daniel
        Ifill   Costa

Gould
Caceres
Diego
Rojas


All we have and no defensive bench cover but we didnt this week either. need another man up front and Costa will at least be there. Too many men with Caceres in the middle and not enough getting done. Rojas to spark some life into the game off bench

Chen isn't ideal but I would like a proper striker in the squad.

We are not going to suddenly find miracle replacements or get anything out of the likes of Chen, the only option is for a similar lineup to yesterday putting their hands up.

Edit: caceres to play as a n.10 (behind striker/s). Either this formation or caceres on bench and play Ifill - Costa up front, then mully of the bench and chen promoted as possible 3rd striker in the 80' minute if we're not winning.

The bench is almost irrelevant isnt it ?
 
I will settle for 4-4-2 with Ifill and Costa "upfront"..not that Ifill actually stays up there as his frustration drags him back to become playmaker and then he gets more frustrated and takes on too much.
 
Bench Daniel again and start with Caceras.  He played well week before...

A small town in Europe........looking to bounce straight back up....well that aint going to happen

I think we need Melanie McLaughlin as our half-time match reporter. That'd surely make the boys go hard... (Okay, that's awful, but you get the idea)

Sorry mate was just having a joke.

Was more of a taking the piss out of the whole everyone loves Lochhead thing.
I do know a fair bit about world football actually. Probably quite a bit. Not just the Premier league like some of the old timers on here

I'm know enough about football to realise that 1144 (your sig) is a bit of a joke formation,

unless your the one who doesn't know much about football...

What time is this game on here?

I just looked on the sky website for times and it doesn't have it listed as being played. I'm sure this is wrong, but can't think where else to look.

Diego played well against Newcastle and I feel that Brown's form in the last few weeks hasn't been up to scratch. I would have liked to have seen Diego off the bench, especially against Melbourne as he can pass and control possession better than Brown. I know that Brown has been getting into the box but his general play has been disappointing. So Diego for Brown (or we could have Diego for Daniel/Caceras and play 433/451 with 2 CM and a DM)
