v Cold Ghost, Fri 11pm SS3

ffs, don't start this again.

and SB - a draw is not a "lose" so if we draw or win = I STAY !

Moving on.  Next person to go off topic will take some time out.

Is Oska the new banner designer?

What makes you say that?

have you looked at the front page?

I never look at the front page, now I see what it is that you are referring to.

For the sake of others reading please STAY ON TOPIC they may spend all day on here but they don't have time to read or trawl through all the little things that amuse others who enjoy taking a light hearted approach to it all i.e life, the economy etc etc

 it's serious business this football talk

So stay on topic

Do you have time in your busy day to look at the front page?

I've never used the function on any other forum that has it enabled but I think it's fair enough if people feel the need to do it.

Im on topic

My photo shop skills are rockin' thank you very much

The vast majority of posts since that warning have been off topic, well spotted.

Todays only Thursday Sad but true.

To be fair, the first post after mine was a minute after so they might not have seen the threat.

Good to see Ifill back on board for Cold Roast.Will be interesting to see if an Ifill and Greenacre pairing up front eventuates.

My concern is that without Moosecat as a holding midfielder, Culina with have free reign.  Although not sure playing PATT at LB is viable.

I'm a little concerned with the comment in the Dom that Nick Ward will play a defending midfield role. He is much better on attack, and can be completely awful on defence (Heart game anyone)

I am very concerned with how our midfield will look.

Would Siggy be worth a go as a stopper in front of the back four. I reckon he'll struggle with Traore at RB. I just think Culina is the heart of that side and if we nullify him we are halfway to a win.

Likely to be...

Vukovic

Siggy-Dura-North-Muscat

Brown-Ward

Bertos-Ifill-Daniel

Greenacre

Paston, Hearfield, Macallister, Pavlovic

 

Grrr... Not a fan of Ifill in the middle of the park. I think he is far more effective on the wing. Plus he'll have Pantelidis trying to break his legs all night. And then our other two central midfielders like to push up the park. Hopefully the Coast don't break fast on us.

And the bench, two strikers? Waste of a very valuable spot imo. Rojas or Diego would've been much better I reckon.

Out: Vince LIA (suspended � 1 week), Dylan MACALLISTER (omitted)

�Viva Toto!

I'd quite like to see Pav given more than 15 minutes. Maybe a half time switch for either Daniel or whoever is playing below par in the first half

Agree. He definitely deserves more game time to truly prove his worth.

At the expensicve of who?

Yes I do, often.He's very clever

But to stay on topic 


Greenie too bag a brace & first stoppage a throw in

COYN

Well I still think this would be the best:



This gives us a damn good chance to stop culina. Even put browny and manny to double team him at the back.

Ifill will start I guess, unless they want to ease him in?

3 at the back did seem ok against the furbies, with siggy acquitting himself well

Ifil, who will go to the wing in place of Bertos.

Ward perhaps can be our Pirlo and hit the multitude of attacking targets in front of him from deeper. However would prefer Manny in midfield!

i wonder how the lochead critics feel now?

I'd much rather see Lochy at left back and Manny in midfield than the outcome of Lochy's injury which is lose Manny from our midfield

point being that not every position needs to be filled by a class player - as long as all on the park do their job and key players are available and in good form in their best position

for me Manny is now part of the spine of the team (in mid)

it will be interesting to see how Ward goes sitting deeper and if cornejo comes on relatively early if Iffil starts in centre -mid but comes off after 60 mins

Jeez, start at 11pm, finish around 1am mjp22010-09-30 22:52:36

Something along those lines, I'd go with whoever has the worse first half out Daniel and Leo

Ooo I want to see more Toto. That magical gnome intrigues me.

We have never won in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and have lost four straight in Perth...but we have won on the Gold Coast. If there's a time where we get our season going, it's on the Coast against a team we love to hate (Smeltz or no Smeltz).

Methinks this one could hang in the balance for a while at 0-0. A goal really gets this game going...if there is a goal at all. GCU have only scored once (but only conceded once) in four home games this season.

Keep the Gold Coast our a bitch. That is all I want from this game.
