Farkin love mid week games, firing up for this one. Absolute must win. Lets do it

All the Nix posters say 7pm, so I've changed the title of the thread.

Strange. Ultimate A-League which is a pretty reliable site says the game is at 7.30pm too.

For once I think the short turn-around time might be good for us. If the boys can just roll-on from the second half yesterday we'll be in good shape.

Their stats are reliable because they do them themselves. I guess that they got their time from a third-party.

I hate the walk along the concourse when you're running late. It suddenly becomes twice as long as you remembered it being.

Definitely 7pm which I only found out yesterday when I went and got my free ticket from my club membership at Ticketek.

I expect we'll see an unchanged lineup if fenton isnt injured.

thought boyd was good off the bench so would keep him there, just wonder if some players may not be able to back up 2 games in this space of time.. im looking at you ifill

Jesic has had 3 knee constructions and is only 23. Doesn't look like the Jets will be re-signing him, moving onto find the next promising young striker instead.

Starting lineup should be interesting. Give us a glimpse of just how much Greenacre and Herbet were on the same page.

Players better step up now, either because they have a spot to play for next season, they did not get on with Ricki and now can bring their good attitude to the pitch, or as a tribute to the foundation coach and the man most responsible for professional football in NZ today.

Good point. I think that Chris will stick with the same old same old though. Not rattle the boat in case they win. Be interesting to see how the players react to this.

From Piney on Twitter

"Apparently some stirring words from Chris Greenacre to #wgtnphoenix pre-training today. Talked of unity, commitment, responsibility to fans" @pineyzb

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.
