WPM R4 vs Melbourne City | Sun 30th Oct | 7:00pm | SS7

Fire Up time, 2 hours till kick off. ....."Oh Wellington....

With Sirman not travelling. I wonder what changes that will bring in the backs. Elliot at RB with Payne on the bench to cover CB and RB ?
Hope Sasse gets a start. And Waine continues up top.

Unless Uffie has decided to go with Payne at CB and Laws drops to bench.

You picked it.

The selection axe has been swung. 

Why drop Kraev...?

Kraev took a knock last week so his drop to the bench could be just precautionary. Would think Ball won't last 90 min. Same with Sasse
There is quite a bit of firepower on the bench to bring in 2nd half.

Was not expecting that lineup.

Woah. Lots of big calls in here by uffie. Finger’s crossed it comes off! Let’s go Bally!!

After pulling Lewis at half time, I'm surprised he got the start. I thought Ball would get a few minutes off the bench, not start. And, I'm surprised Payne is CB after Ufuk's comments on where he sees him playing.

Wow, surprises galore. Bally starting, Ugarkovic dropped, Oldy starting... 

Seems curious for bally to not make a squad until now and be chucked in from the start, especially against city

I like it. Although I'm surprised Ugarkovic got the axe. 

Got to be bold up against City in Melbourne. Expecting a reaction from the boys after a poor start last week.

Massive chance for Oldy

Trying something different looking ahead in a game we are unlikely to win anyway.

I see this as probably our strongest counter attacking team. Sasse has the xf factor/unknown factor. Bally, old, waine, sutts, Pennington, Elliot are all in there for this high work rate. I think we will play a low block. Then press off our 18 and hit them on the counter. 
COYN!! 

Time to take inspiration from our Aussie Cup win over these blokes.

Won't be easy, but let's get into this game from the get go.

COYN!

I suspect that the team selection is either going to spectacularly inspirational or spectacularly disastrous.  

Looks like Greenie is on the bench as well.  Can't see Italiano there.  has there been some form of player and coach revolt??  hope not

Uffie pulling a trick out of the bag, Zawada as an impact players makes sense, Losta benched suggests he hasnt done enough to impress, leaws the same. Old getting the start makes sense, Ball was always gonna start if he was fit, we all know Bally just wants to play and would walk over hot coals to make it happen.

Looking good so far.

Fudge some of our players are lazy

Fudge some of our players are lazy

possibly why Kosta is riding the pine.
Lewis with a great delivery

Old getting smashed everytime he touches the ball, hope the ref is watching.

That was almost beautiful.

Waine's always had a bit of speed, but he looks like he's gone up a gear or two this season, just looks like he's gliding when he's in open space.

Waine should have scored.

Waine should have scored.

offside call was very close.

Payne at CB gives me the sharks, every time he passes back to Sail it feels like they're gonna score

And as I type... He passes to fudgeing Tillio and we concede a handball

fudge fudge fudge

Some timing that

Was it lewis who just dove in and missed completely and gave tilio the goal

Argggh, whose piss poor ball was it across field for Tilio to pick off?

Fu ck it 

Did notice the stamp towards Ball wasn’t carded, but has been a red level offense in other games.

Absolute freebie that.

Giving the ball away and the pen.
Destroy all the great work so far.

Lewis turned blind and got caught out.

Good chance Sail saves it. Trying to block though!

No Paynes fault. Lewis could have taken that pass, but chose to turn.
