WSW at home to good, to strong and will smash us 3-0. Ufuk to play the kids again and put Rufer in as pen taker. 2nd place wont get us ACL this season so might as well come 6th.

Who will start... Ufuk wants to play his top 11, has McCowatt done enough to get into that run on 11?

Libby plays better with McCowatt ahead of him, so I hope he starts.

Who else is close to that starting line up? Very tough leaving Piscopo out. Elliot will have a bit of pressure on Louis now.

Doubt he wouldnt start with  Piscopo, given how he has played him this season. Yes McCowatt did well last game but Piscopo has done the job Talay wanted for most of the season and dont think he deserves to be dropped.

Based on the last 3 games I'd almost be tempted to swap out Davila for piscopo. I Don't think Davilas been horrific, he just made a couple mistakes and piscopos been better than him recently.

thinbk Davila is a better starter TBH - his errors have been when he's come off the bench.

Given Talay has said he is starting his best 11 there is no way Davila isnt in that 11. Expecting a bit much to think he is going to start where he left off before the break. Think there were more than enough signs Saturday that he isnt far off.

So McCowatt is ahead of Sotorio... as he should be (despite Sotorio nabbing a goal) but has he replaced Piscopo??

I think McCowatt has played better over the three games overall, but not sure its enough. Great problem to have. Having too much depth to fit in a player on form.

Again, what is the proper round number? Not 29

29 is the correct round number. With the uneven number of teams in the league this year, each team was to play 26 games and have 3 byes which totals 29 rounds. This match was originally going to be our last regular season game.

Is McCowatt ahead of Sotirio? Not sure that's certain either. Both have contributed to the results

I think after current games all three could easily start on the wing. Sotirio can play up front and wing, same as McCowatt, Piscopo is more a winger than anything else. I reckon you'll see Ball and Hooper back together with Davila starting with Piscopo. Then you can bring on McCowatt or Sotirio for either of the front 4.

Starting to think we might actually smash them, but we need to get the goals early as WSW are a 2nd half side of late.

On a serious note, without the customary jinx we might very likely concede 3 or 4 tonight

nah man,I think this is a season we can have a bit of confidence. The lads look good and are performing as required. With WSW's player losses and us havig a full cohesive squad I reckon we are gonna destroy them.

Everyone keeps going on about all the WSW player loses. They have only lost Lopar from what I can see. 

I think they will be better for there hit out earlier in the week and am still expecting a tough game. pretty much backs against the wall for them as far as top 6 goes. 

All about building momentum for us now over these next three games.

COYN.

no Elliot or Hudson-Wihongi on the bench. Wonder if that is cos they've earned their spurs.

True, and unlike most of the team. They wouldn't even play some other players twice in a week. I think this shows confidence in his fitness. I also don't think playing four games of football should be a killer for most young people.

Hudson-Wihongi probably out as precaution. That head knock he took late against Adelaide looked pretty bad.

At the moment we would find it tough playing a good team without him. 

Looks like this is one gamble Uffie does not want to take.
