it's a bit quiet today,
so here's my pick for the team v Newc, to try to rouse a few opinions
Moss
Rees, Dodd, Lochead
Elrich, Lia, johhno, ferrante,
felipe
smeltz, covs
Paston, christie, brown, Brownlie
to be honest i'm not sure about ferrante at left mid, but i wanted to get Old out of the picture until he improves his distribution
anyone got the word on injury concerns ??

Lochhead in back 3 is bad. I would keep Old/O'Dor there and leave
Lochhead at wing back.

who's johhno?
agree with missing out Old

tigers I'd be happy to see that team on the park. If Elrich wants to get back in the socceroos, he'd better start taking advantage of these opportunities.
yomcat why do you say Locky in back three is bad?? reasons please! He is a lot better defender than Old or ODor, and thats what the job is, defending. We have to keep the Newc attack quiet. Its about time our bloody defence did that.

Lochhead was tried in a back three earlier in the season, and he
didn't play very well at all. He was moved out to the left again,
and his performance went straight back up.
You don't need to be in the back 3 to defend, as he showed last game against Kruse.
Also, Newcastle's attack is lacking nutpuncher, so it's either going to be someone showing they should be playing over him, or worse off.

agreed Yomcat, that Lochhead is more influential in a wide mid role
or in a back four
but i'm not sure if O'Dor could slip in on the left, he was tried wide in a back four (v CCM from memory) and looked lost
the point in favour of Lochy wide mid is that Durante is out, so having someone to test his replacement would be good
agreed the should miss the bollock puncher, their next top scorers are Bridge and Adam G on 2 each

would be good to keep Lochy left mid (wing back) somehow. You
really need a competent leftie for that role in order to provide
plenty of crosses

I'm not entirely sure that I'd start Elrich. Maybe it would shake
him up enough so as for him to have a great second half to try and
prove himself.

Robb, that Tauranga sun must be getting to you, cos I'm worried - as I look at that bench - that it would be hard to get a great performance from Elrich in the second half
on a more serious note, with Daniel away I guess Elrich probably will get a start

'scuse my ignorance, but does this mean the BB is no longer the
meeting place for YF before games?

my understanding is that the four kings (venue formerly known as
the fever lounge) is still the 'away' venue and the bencher remains
the venue of choice home match pre-game whistle-wetting

One of these days, I'm going to do a lineup without the influence of heat, alcohol or caffeine/sleep deficiency

nix press release
doesnt give any clues about team. Draper in the squad ahead of
Brownlie though (he must be going)

1. Mark PASTON (gk), 20.Glen MOSS (gk), 2.
Jeremy CHRISTIE, 3. Tony LOCHHEAD, 5.Karl DODD, 6. Tim BROWN, 8.Vaughan
COVENY, 9. Shane SMELTZ, 10.Michael FERRANTE, 12. Richard JOHNSON, 13.
Steven OLD, 16.Kristian REES, 17.Vince LIA, 18. Ahmad ELRICH, 19. Greg
DRAPER, 21.FELIPE. *one to be omitted
the squad might suggest a very similar line-up to the last few weeks, though you could also get 4-4-2 from it (let's hope Old has been practicing his distribution, if he is picked)
hopefully Aloisi will be available for Sydney - if he is it'll possibly/probably be his last home game for the Nix
i wonder what the story is with O'Dor?

Apparently Elrich has dental problems so is doubtful for
Sunday but will travel...

hell, i hope it's not the same kind of dental problems as O'Dor had
(just before he disappeared into the 'Bermuda Triangle')
if elrich can't play we might be pushed for width with daniel out as well (which could make his critics reconsider)

Interesting that Costa still misses out as well
Normo's coming home

be interesting to see if Draper gets a spot on the bench, if ricki
starts with 2 up front then a bench without Draper would have no
out and out attacking options available

Can you believe this result? Hopefully we'll see the same score
again shortly!!

Costa is sh*te...
Hmmmmm....thats positive Chopper. He's actually a very good player with great potential. His time will come at this level and I'm sure he'll take some of the chances he'll be given next season after this years steep learning curve.

Went and watched the Sydney Adelaide game tonight at the 4 Kings
and what a f**king setup they have. Lazyboys all round and
screens for Africa. It's mint. I'm moving in there.
Greene and I also threw away twenty bucks backing the draw and then that c**t Breeze sent off Cornflake for sod al. w**ker.
See you all Sunday.
