R19 vs Sydney FC | Thur 9th Feb | 9:50pm | SS2

Sadly, I think Patrick may well be proved correct. I am going for a 4-0 Sydney win.

We know that Welnix are pretty cautious about things, if Des and Greenacre aren't the right coaches then I kind of want a blow out just to force the boards hands, this season is a right off anyway.

If Des and Greenacre have some master plan that will only be unveiled in the off season and will propel us up the ladder then I hope we win.

The worst scenario is if we limp into a finals spot, the board gives Des and Greenacre a couple of years and we stay mediocre.

Better to be cautious than reckless and although I think we need a strong personality in charge, they are the bosses. They last game they had a plan but the roar changed theirs and thus made our worthless. So they now know not only do we need a plan A, B but also a C for just in case. I am picking a hiding from Sydney, not because we are that bad, but they really are on fire. Time to rain on Sydney's parade.

hooray for game day

You can do it

Sorry Dale but PMSL, that is so well done.

yay - much excitment, another friggen game of spot the toaster!

Has done 11 games in the A-league and 3 of them have involved us (We won one and lost two). He was the referee in Wellington when we lost to Sydney 0-1 with the goal scored right at the end.

Holy f ck the internet needed that! Amazing.

I kind of agree but I'm also starting to think that we need a really really good coach to get anything more than about 6th place out of these players. They don't seem to be able to put more than about two good performances together at a time, and haven't for about two years since the back end of the 2014/15 season when teams figured us out.

Going into the game tonight optimistic that we will pull off a miracle.

1970's top of the pops revisited

Edit: whoa, I think that was the game where the photos of Patrick stealing sausage rolls come from. Everything is connected....

you heard it first - right here... we might not lose tonight. 

Also - there is a heat wave hitting the country this weekend, temps 35+ everywhere, avoiding that may be a huge blessing. 

Kosta   do it tonight,it's now or never son   goals/assists or great positional play I don't care..just bring it!   COYN

Lowry might be playing at RB tonight. Nix Twitter posted a picture with Fox's playing kit in it.

Where's Rossi?

yes.. where is Rossi? Also good to see Barbarousus up front with wermac and Krishna out wide, just wish roly had opportunity to start tonight with kosta up front in the middle

Mossy's 200th Aleague game.  These milestone game always go badly for us.  

But where's Rossi?

Matt Simon on the bench.

Fire up boys gonna give thease aussies a hiding.

2 - 1 Phoenix and Free Sausage Rolls for everyone!!!

why Roly to bench good? An inconsistent Rossi still better than anything Finkler done all season

fixed

Rossi was holding his hammy after he got done in WSWs third goal on Saturday.

That  has to be the slowest midfield in history

Yea, really not looking forward to this. 

Stream please - I'm stuck at work !

Oh well at least we aren't expecting much. Here's hoping we pull something out of the hat

How can they play on a pitch like that??

It's going to be a loooong night by the looks...

Well that didn't take long

oh good another sharke pitch to play on. and yet our home ground will still be rated the worst by the players at the end of the season with melbourne winning as usual.

well that was fudgeing easy. No one near him for his whole run. This may be a cricket score 

Well that was later than I expected.
