That looks reasonable. And I agree Reddy should get a week before getting into the starting line-up.

Hearfield has been good covering from Manny. Bertos seems to be losing his mojo, so maybe a change to a central attacking role with give him some energy.

We do seem to get cramped at times with everyone wanting to play out wide, and nobody playing in the middle at the top of the box.
Except for Brown on the occasional run for a header.

Do you have nightmares that look like this:

Elrich         Cleberson    George        G**
              (insert generic midfield)
                  Mulligan        Chen

Bump. Games tomorrow. Get into it. More nervous than excited for this one. The whole season defining thing is thrown around a bit, but honestly a loss here would make playoffs pretty unlikely. We can't hope for a good finish to the season to push us in, we need the results now.

Strangely I'm actually feeling quite positive about this match, but in order to counter that I think there needs to be:
 
1. A reverse jinx thread
2. A lucky head bandage or three

That's true - anyone got the results since the last head bandage was worn? Daniel wasn't it?

I like that team, and I think it's pretty decent tbh. If he's ready, i'd put Reddy in for Crowther (ha), otherwise that team could do some serious damage if people like Daniel and Bertos step-up and McKain and Durante hold it strong in the middle and STOP WITH THE LONG BALLS. That is all.

Bertos needs to step up big time, he has been less than exciting of late and if things were not as bad depth wise, i think Ricky might be looking to rest him again

probabl;y not too many options under the circumstances but it does bring it home that we need a striker pretty darnt quick

I'm loving the arrival of Owusu, it's the ultimate embarrasment for any defence to have him score against you.

I'm surprised the YF zone isn't full of bandaged heads for home games...

Lets hope we don't concede against him then..

Also, 16 players named right? so who to be omitted? Rojas? Ferrante? or Diego?  I'd say leave Rojas on the bench and drop Ferrante. And while your at it, give Marco the number 10.

My only problem with playing Rojas is that he's tiny and weak as hell (as you'd expect from most 17 year olds, but more so then many others) so would it be wise playing him.  Suppose he was alright in his last two appearances.

Don't worry, he will be too quick for Adelaides slow as defenders to catch...issue resolved

exactly, and I'd rather have a player who has loads of potential on my bench rather than an older one who can't score or have any impact on a game. When ferrante does make the bench, he rarely comes on anyway. So why not have Rojas for those last 10 15 mins to out run the old pissant defenders.

Without Greenacre I really think we're going to need some luck on attack tonight. Hopefully we get it.

Defence needs to stand up as well, and Reddy has to magically become a good goalkeeper (which he isn't, but I hope he realises that this is pretty much his last chance)

Don't think having a prick like Reddy come in is good for team morale either
