the biggest question I have for this game is will the ground announcer a) be the same dude as the last couple and b) will he continue to fudge up the players names. and c) will he try the queen video to rev the crowd up again.
Apparently she's a stunner in Welly today. Wish I could be there in person. Had the inlaws staying with us all week but they've left this morning. The missus is working all day, and me dad's taking the kids out for the afternoon at 230. It's been a long week but roll on 3 o clock. Was supposed to use the free time to mow the lawns but eh looking forward to being able to sit down with a cold beer and the nix on the telly with nobody around to interrupt! The lawns can wait....
Looking for him to become more consistent and feature more heavily in the game as he gets more experience under his belt.
Would like to see Zawada get on the board today. So far he's been solid without being outstanding. It's these type of matches where we want to see a bit of an impact - A goal or an assist or some good pieces of play will help his confidence massively.
Kraev was always going to be in the XI this afternoon, he was on a mission after being very good off the bench last week. Hopefully everything clicks for him this arvo (also want a big performance from him for my fantasy team 👀)
The chance to build a big crowd was wasted when we started poorly. We a know a draw with city is a good result but your casual fans don't care about draws. Gotta win games starting out to get the numbers.
Impressed with Zawada's hold up play so far. Brings so many options off him when he can use his size and get that ball under control. Liking him coming deep & looking for work too.
Lewis passing radar is well off so far in this opening half hour.
The Kiwi connection on that. Kosta busting his ass to keep it in. Pass back to Elliot with a delightful little cross to the near post and Old with a good header across Kurto and in off the post.
