Phoenix vs Rrrrrrrivals, Sat 11.45pm SS1

Damn, we can't moan about the referee when we lose now. 

What,I'm not allowed to join the majority in being a miserable bastard every once in a while?

I'm with you on this one Tegal.

So Stein will come in for Fenton in only change. Like it, especially if he plays wider - and reverting to 4-3-3 is a no brainer now Lia is back. Anything that allows Smith to get forward a bit more into the box when appropriate. Afterall, we forget he is actually a striker.

Win tonight and there will be 10,000 plus given a half fair day. Sorry David Dome. That's the way it works in Wn. Half the city's been made redundant, so money's tight ! 

I'm hoping Totori will get a decent run, maybe start. Keep Stein for another week

Been waiting to see Stein get a start on the wing. Clearly not a target main yet Ricki continues to use him as one.
Got great technique and feet. Could be a.... revelation.

Totori is a real wildcard. Despite that goal cock up last week he made a good impact off the bench. With that pace running at tired legs, I think off the bench for the last 20 is the best for the team, gives him less time to embarrass himself too ;)

Off to the game tonight, will be wearing the yellow strip.

Change in forecast with possible thunderstorms from lunchtime.

Oh Wellington is wonderful................

Burns and Smeltz are back in the Perth line up as per the ABC sport news.

 GAMEDAY COYN

Fire up Farken!

Just heard on radio sport Waffles will be on the bench, and there maybe doubt on Totori who rolled his ankle at training on Thurdsay and didn't train yesterday.

Thing we should still start waffles.  He has been in fork this season

Maybe hes not 100%? Otherwise yeah, I'd go with Fenton to bench,brockie out wide, waffles up front.

unchanged lineup - Waffles is fine apparently but Ricki wants to ease him back in. Not sure I see that logic. either he's not quite 100% and you name him on the bench, or he is 100% and you start him. hard to drop Fenton I know but he's the obvious one to make way

odd decision if he is fully fit

still, as long as we keep 3 in midfield im fairly happy

fenton needs to pull finger tonight, his spot is under pressure

Well Stein is hardly an impact player. Really don't see the reasoning behind this, Fenton really should've made way.

come on what games have you been watching? Paston would be the the worst keeper in the comp, didn't you see the serve he got from the defenders in the last game, he has to go, when he does the Nix will be on a roll, just like the last two years.

 Burns and Smeltz to both play a shockers tonight coming back and screwing up the play for the Glory...

Did he sleep with your mrs or something?

I'd love the angst on this forum if Paston became our manager one day.

Wouldn't we be rejoicing the fact that ricki is gone? Or would we have moved on by then?

First in. 

Paston Out!

 na Ricki would obviously have appointed him (ahead of his rival for the job Moss) as he woulda moved upstairs

About to piss it down in Perth.....apparently!

Thunder also.

 Huge storm at the moment.
