I'm hoping 2-0, but CCM looked good against Adelaide at the end of that last game
Adelaide were/are pretty average
didn't we lose 2-0 to Adelaide in a pre-season game a month or so ago?

We bet Boca juniors in pre-season go figure. Just hope CCM don't park the bus

COYN I rate our strikers over theirs, but don't write them off.

It was 7.
no wonder it felt so grim!!
Isn't it funny looking back. I was sure at the time that all those draws were going to stuff our playoff chances.
I seem to remember our first season being worse for conceding last minute goals though. But was that because they were draws-losses rather than wins-draws?

If we get a lead, i think this time we will hold it.

There were some last minute horror shows in season one, but just revisiting last season's results I was surprised to see we actually coughed up late goals on 4 occasions; one for a loss, 3 for draws. That's 7 points down the tubes. So, yes, that could very easily have stuffed our playoff chances.
We did score late a couple of times ourselves to get points, both against Perth. Leo's 40 yard free kick past Velaphi sticks in the memory.

Hope to get over 10K if the weather is good. A lot that might have wanted to go last week might come out if it is nice. Sunday might suit more people too.

A crwod of ten thousand will be great, if they get ona winning roll I would expect crwods of 20 thousand plus near the end of the season.

I think most people will hold out until Sunday before deciding to buy tickets this time.
But I do hope we get crowds of 10,000+

The national team�s supporter group known as the "White Noise" and the Phoenix�s "Yellow Army" have built up a cult following in the Kiwi Capital, and McGlinchey is expecting the fanatical supporters to again be out in force this Sunday
