RD 22 vs Perth Sunday 9th, 5 p.m

Time for the youngsters to step up

Is this our team?

                    Moss

Boxy  Siggy         Dura    Brindell-South

                    Lia

      Ridenton         Hicks

Boyd        Carlos       Stein

bench  Italiano, Brockie, Krishna, Adams, Rufer

Yep

Completely obvious observation: that midfield gives me the sh*ts

If we can't beat Perth, then we don't deserve  anything.

Is there anyway we can stack our mid field more? Dropping boyd back to wing or something. But I spose perth don't have the best pressing midfield so we night get away with the 3.

If we ask Lia to do that job we are in trouble.

It's just not his game.

That midfield is going to get destroyed.

Id put Bertos into midfield tbh. Probably drop Boyd to bench.

If we lose to Perth id say thats season over

Couldn't Ridenton or Hicks work to a tight brief of a deeper, holding role?

Leos still injured, isnt he?

So are we without the AW contigent for this one, or will the be match ready by Sunday? (albeit a bit jet-lagged)

minefield not midfield

Must win etc etc...

Definite six-pointer...

When we lost in Perth it was chiefly due to the speed of their wingers, or at least that's how I read that game.

Would hope so - otherwise we would be left with just 11 fit/available players!

Don't get jet lag coming to and from japan dome the trip many times

Scott McIntyre @mcintinhos

EXCLUSIVE: @vuka20 (Danny Vukovic) has signed 5 month loan deal with Graham Arnold's Vegalta Sendai, effective immediately. Flies out today.

Who's their backup? Vuka has played every single minute of every game for Perth since he left us. Going to be one inexperienced keeper.

Jack Duncan. He's played 39 minutes in total in the aleague.

It must be our turn to stage a silent protest this weekend? 

That's how it works isnt it? Each team takes a turn at silently protesting over something stupid each week? 

We did lose 5-1 last week, maybe we should protest about that. 

Silent protest about silent protests?

We could definitely do with some luck

Protest our lack of good luck?

A silent Poznan?

I'd like to silently protest the Fever Zone's lack of singing at the last home game.

I don't think the RBB even knew what they were protesting about

They are going to tell us about it @8pm tonight. 

Thought protests normally work better when people know what they are protesting about. Might be wrong about that, ah well silent protest at the keyboard now.

Looking forward to a good game on Sunday, free flowing football from Perth.....oh, hold the phone. Will take a 1-0 win with a own goal

If you can pay to watch your favourite team and then turn your back on them, you can do anything

Burns v youngsters in midfield seems like a total mismatch. We gotta have some experience in there with Vinnie, but who?

Who in the Fever played in midfield up in Auckland? Time to ring Ernie and make yourself known.

is smeltzy playing

Silent Protest about Arnold stealing our annual chance at a Danny Vukovic chant

At least the who are ya chant will be apt...'who are ya, who are ya... Seriously though... Who are ya?'

Might as well be directed at our reserves, since we haven't seen most of them ever before.
