I'd go...
 
Paston
Muscat-SigmUnd-Durante-Lochhead
Bertos-Brown-Lia-Ward
Sanchez-Ifill
 
Greenacre
Daniel
Pavlovic
Warner
 
Ifill and Smeltz are tied on 21 Phoenix goals ... chance for Ifill to take the all-time record against Smeltzy's new side by scoring past a former Phoenix 'keeper.  Nice symmetry.
 
Perth have never won in Wellington.

RYOS used to play this outside its old Lambton Quay store and I have the Reddy save/Durante penalty bit on my phone (used to be a ringtone).

absolutly a must win game for us now, or the season is pretty much gone,sitting 8th and 3 point off the 6. A loss will make it very very tough to get back in contention.

after what I saw last night, I'd say we lose this and it's a very long road back to anywhere the top 6, victory win and they go 6 point above us.

Thought kick off was at 7, this is going to be one mad dash from the wedding I am at.

So we'd be 6 points away with 51 more points to play for.

Ward to the bench for Sanchez for me, Ifill to go out on the wing, and Sanchez siting behind Greenacre.

This would be my starting line-up with both Ward and Bertos given rockets up the rear just before kick-off.
 
When injuries and suspensions (i.e. Lia and Brown) forced Herbert in to a more attacking midfield early in the season we looked good.
 
Sadly the chance of Herbert dropping Brown or Lia = 0
He dribbles a lot and the opposition dont like it - you can see it all over their faces. (Ron Atkinson)

I'd prefer this...at least two strikers up front with Ifill where he is best suited, Lia loses the ball way too often to hold a starting spot.

Hmm lets mix things up:

                  Paston
        SigmUnd Durante
Bertos                      Lochhead
          Muscat      Lia
                 Sanchez
               Greenacre
           Ifill        Pavlovich

Who needs width - reminds me of how victory used to play

Almost agree with this, but probably i prefer something more attacking, with Lia playing as our only DM and start pav with Greenie...(that means bench Smith, Herbert will most likely to do this anyway)
 
Regardless of what we hope, i'm sure Herbert will play a formation very similar to this:
    
                   Warner
 
Manny      Siggy  Dura      Lochy
 
Ifill(Ward)  Lia    Brown     Bertos
 
         Sanchez
                      Greenie(Ifill)
 
Let's win this game NIX!!

One of either Brown or Lia has to go for sanchez. I vote brown, as much as it is easy to bash their contributions Sanchez can't replace Lia, they live on opposite sides of the midfield diamond, Lia does have the ability to man-mark a player out of the game, examples, Fred yesterday and Carle last week. Then again I'll be singing a different tune if Lia goes back go firing long shots over the crossbar. I'd pick this 11
          Paston
       SigmUnd Durante
Muscat                    Lochhead
                 Lia
Ward       Sanchez      Bertos
        Greenacre Ifill
Also would prefer Smith in the bench to Pav as a striking option.

...Smith the midfielder as a striker instead of Pav the striker as a striker?

 
                 Paston
 
Manny      Siggy  Dura      Lochy
 
Ifill        Lia    Brown     Bertos
 
             Sanchez
              Greenie

For me.

Yes, even though he is not a natural striker, he is still better than Pav.

I haven't watched much of Perth, but how are they roughly lining up at the moment?

If they are playing with two holding mids (two of Burns, Hughes, Pantelidis or McGarry) with Miller/Sterjovski further forward; if we have only Lia and Sanchez I totally see Sanchez dropping deeper or into wider areas to pick up the ball so I agree with those that have Sanchez just off one striker and two central midfielders.

Looks pretty sound to me. Especially with Sanchez in the mix from the kick off.
