I reckon we could see quite a bit of Clapham and Lovemore on the field tonight. We were flat against the Jets after 3 games in 7 days. Rickie will be keeping the Fury game in the back of his mind and he won't want to run his key guys into the ground.
The Fury won't be a pushover.....their 1-2 loss to the Roar shows they will just roll over for us.
There will be quite a few people watching how Clapham goes if he gets a decent 30 mins or so. There will be a few "why did we not sign this guy instead of Toto" if he does OK. There will be a bit of pressure on Clapham but if he works hard on defence and marks his opposite OK and does not give the ball away in dumb areas then he will get a pass from me. it will be interesting to see guys playing A-League coming from doing OK in the NZ comp.
I reckon Lovemore will come on for Dmac and Clapham for Ward.....especially when we are 3-0 up with 30mins to go!!!!!!
if Toto gets a run first I will spew.....that pass, straight to a jets player 30 metres in front of our goal would consign him to the "never play this guy again catagory"
"Phoenix till they lose"
