Phoenix v Brisbane Raw. Sunday 21st of Oct

Need a PAX fix people..... Bad, need it Bad, Somebody for the love of God help me!!!!!

My Ticket has PAX 000011...

                  Moss

        Siggy Dura Boxall

Leo          Manny          Lochead

        Smith         Stein

                  Ifill
How about this?

Only 10 players for a start.
Personally I don't want to see 3 at the back, but if so it would probably be

         Moss

   Siggy Dura Boxhall

Leo Manny Smith Lochy

     Ifill     Stein  Brockie/Fenton

After thinking about it for a while, I think I'd tweak the lineup a bit in order to get the most out of our busiest players.

           Moss
Leo Siggy Dura Tony
    Muscat Smith
Brockie Stein  Fenton
              Ifill

Brockie and Fenton both have a high workrate on both attack and defense. Id play them wide to try and neutralise the Roar's wingbacks, and also counterattack to get in behind them and be quite direct.

Stein seems to have a good workrate so I'd get him to hustle Portaloo when he is in posession - dont let him have space.

Then Ifill up top simply because he isnt 100% fit and we need him to be up top for us to launch counterattacks with.

Stein, a good work rate? Not for the full 90. Last 2 weeks he always seems to tire in the last half hour, and the work rate drops dramatically. Him and Brockie up front is a good combination, lets not mess with that.

So basically, the above formation, except swap Brockie and Ifill, and put stein up front. 

Totori??

Ifill in, totori to the bench to come on as an impact sub. Or if Ifill still isn't quite match fit enough yet (possible, after seeing him on the weekend) then Totori would retain his place. 

I tried this on football manager and it worked. 

moss

bertos boxall durante lochhead

fenton muscat smith totori

huysengems brockie

bench; basalaj sigmund ifill boyd

out; paston (injury), downey, lia, clarke

lia and ifill a bit underdone IMO. boxall keeps his place. sigmund gets a rest. boxall MOM against heart!

Boxall should play RB instead of Bertos to shore up the defense

After ifills performance last game I think I'd prefur tottori for him.  He was terrible

Yeah I'd say he wasn't quite ready to return yet,but it was forced on him (same with lia - though he was worse!)

Both need time on the park at top level to get back but will Lia get the chance in midfield as a defender at least 40 metres out. May be only back as injury cover late season

Good initiative seeing as there are no trains at all that day - hope they are prepared to put on extra services...

Isn't it Queensland Raw?

Nope.

 Zero chance Siggy has a week off unless he's injured.  He has an Albanian to lump.

 Well we have no other choices.  Maybe his pace will help.

Needs more Jeremy and Totori!!!

 Re: trains: not just a Nix game on, also the hand-egg game on Saturday

Siggy looked good at the end of the game last night, not sure why he would get benched.

2nd A-League game ever for Kersey.

Oh crap.

What was his first?

lol. Yeah, I was thinking that too  ;-)

Man, quoting is a bitch on this thing these days!

 You're the second person I've seen struggle but I've had no problems.  Odd.

That's cos you is a genius, Bro

 Well... modesty forbids me, but...

Compared to me, I meant......
