Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

Daniel jnr would be a better prospect.

Three for me, and two for them.

Ricky has hinted at changes, so I think that Brownlie will start instead of Coveny, and Christie will get a game right midfield instead of Elrich/Lia

I'd keep faith with Elrich. I can't believe how people forget the seriousness of the injury he is recovering from. He is clearly still lacking full match sharpness and that explains why his crosses aren't finding their targets and he is having issues beating his man. The only remedy for it is more game time and an injection of confidence. I applaud Ricki for sticking with him and showing faith, look what happened to Ferrante! He has still shown his class and has set up a number of goals. Lia is a good player, but he isn't an out an out winger. You wouldn't find him going around anybody down the right and he doesn't have much pace either.

Moss
Rees, Dodd, O'Dor
Elrich, Ferrante, Lia, Felipe, Daniel
Smeltz, Costa

Bench:

Paston, Coveny, Christie, Brown

I would like to see Costa given a chance to start as Coveny was pretty ineffective last week and he has only scored once all season. I would bench Brown as I think Lia and Ferrante have proven more successful, we have had excellent results when they have been paired in midfield together and it's a partnership I wouldn't want to split up.

Finally, I would start with O'Dor over Old who had a shocker last week and has been out of his depth all season.

Came from the assertion from Frankie that LF1 would turn up for the opening of an envelope if someone offered him a Microphone.

Don't think anyone on SFCU for a moment believes I'm a Sydney fan.  The Bloc 5 Avatar for one, and the rapid Phoenix supporting positions I take.

I don't see your point, Elrich hasn't gone round his man all season and has lost all his pace, but you still think he should start.
 
I'd rather have Lia out on the right than Elrich.
 
Also, think Ricki should bring Costa and Draper off the bench

Brownlie in the back three?  Now that's different.......
 
You've also only got 10 players in the lineup and five subs and you haven't got Lia anywhere.

Please tell me that team is a sick joke? Or are you just lost.
 
Filipe didn't play on the wing on Friday.
Also, Coveny can't play on the wing, Brownlie can't play at the back and you only have 10 players in this team.
 
Embarrasing.

     Glad to see you didn't put the shaky dwarf in goal. Still think he overdoes the stepovers as well.
Thought Osama Bin Laden might have made the team, but he tends to go missing when the pressure's on.
