Nix vs CCM - Match Thread

You might want to be much clearer about that statement as Hard News did mention two attributes not one for your reply.

who ever wrote the press release either needs to drink less coffee, understand the basic laws of time/space continuum,  or learn to proofread

Ed, I wouldn't put it past Johnno, he's pretty special!

Preview on 442:

McKain in the midfield yo, wicky wicky

Dilemma:
Game starts at five o'clock (right?), so there's a nice place on my couch with my name on it.
Unfortunately, my brother, with whom I always watch matches, finishes work at five also.

Do I go and pick him up, meaning we both miss the first 10-15 mins, or do i let him walk, so I see the whole game but he misses the first half...?

It's a tough call

To be fair, you just tape the game till he gets there, don't watch!

No tape recorder :(
Lol I'll fetch him don't worry. But I'll also try convince him to sneak off early!

.....brilliant Smithy.....

what do you reckon our chances are of stealing a 3 - 0 victory, would put us 6th equal with Q'land..........

one can dream

Struggling to read that table but it looks like we have to win 6-0 to get 6th equal.

A 3-0 Nix win is paying $40 at TAB.

With the jets winning last night the top 5 have jumped ahead....we need at least a point to keep in touch with 5th. it goes without saying but those 3 points we should have nailed against Perth are really costing us.

Yeah, you're right.  A 6-0 win is what we need, not a feeble 3-0 one

Tell him to get a taxi

Anyone got anything on the starting XI?

what's that paying at the TAB? One hat trick from Smeltz to get him over his two goal comfort zone, and 3 from...

Start List is in

Mariners - Vukovic, Bojic, Hutchinson, Caceras, Clark, Boogaard, Osman, Wilkinson, Simon, Petrovski, Jedinak
Subs: Bosnich, O'Grady, Macallister, Porter

Wellington - Paston, Lochead, McKain, Dodd, Brown, Coveny, Smeltz, Kwasnik, Sigmund, Gao, Durante
Subs: Moss, Daniel, Ferrante, Bertos

Cheers for that, have you got a formation though? simon_hampton2008-10-19 16:17:21

be interesting to see  who out of (presumably) dodd or Mckain fills the other centre mid position alongside Timmo, i expect Ricki will stick with  dodd in midfield - but wouldn't mind being proved wrong

I heard they were drawing positions out of a hat, like OBM in the Bailey Cup semi-final...

x 2

though I don't know that McKain would be up to speed straight away. Dodd and Siggie were good at home against Sydney. Siggie will be on the right again won't he?

well we will see shortly!

Why is Dodd playing midfield???

If Dodd is playing midfield the TV WILL end up with a hole through the middle of it. 

It may be Mckain yet. So spare your TV

Ricki still sticking with Kwasnik too. He better do something good today.

Id prefer Kwasnik be having a run up front if hes going to be starting every week.

If he puts Siggie in the middle I'll have a heart attack too, at NZFC level in CM yes, but not Aleague. Somewhere in defence.

                     Paston
Sigmund McKain Durante Lochhead
                   Dodd Brown,
       Gao                            Kwasnik
                 Coveny Smeltz 

Pretty clear from that lineup imo.

GO THE PHOENIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 And close down Caceras 

It's 30 degrees in Gosford. Gonna be a tough one for us..(unless it's been hot in Welly?)

Will be happy with a point.

according to Fox Mckain in midfield
