2017 FFA Cup Round of 32 vs Blacktown City away.

[McGr1m3]

So whats everyone's predictions for our FFA Cup Vs Blacktown.
Would certainly be a shame to drop this one just as we are looking to be building on last years improvements.
Although this will be tough we should also be happy with this game as we warm up towards October.
I think our major improvement will be in our defensive setup.
So maybe 1 or 2 nil may get the job done.
Anyway I will be watching via Fox as working early just hope the commentary is unbiased we always seem to cop the rough end of the pineapple.

Anything but a win to a non A-League club is an embarrassment.
We are Champions and Premiers! They don't deserve to kiss our boots.

ETA
No FFA Cup game should be treated as a "warm up". I want us to win this bloody trophy so f**king bad!!!

I think winning the Cup would make us the only club to win all 4 trophies, wouldn't it? Only a couple have won the pre-season.

yes

It would make us the third to win all four - and no one else could join the club. Adelaide and Victory have already won all four.

 

[BrisRecky]

Well, given that Hooley has been slotting them away , I reckon we're good for, at the very least , a 3-0 win...of course the more the merrier, so don't stop until you run out of time says I

 

[Tassiemariner]

A pessimistic 2-1 win in Extra Time. Also, as I will be a little pre-occupied at the Olympia vs APIA game, would love to hear how Prendergast goes for Blacktown. From all reports, he's one of the best non A-League keepers going around, and a Tassie boy.

Hoolio was the name one of his team mates called him during the Hokoah game.
I like it and think it will stick.
He now has 5 goals in 3 games which is an exciting return for a Middy.
I'm confident we are not going to miss Fab this season.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Hoo-li-o! Hoo-li-o! Hoo-li.............OOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I'm also confident we wont' miss fab, but I thought he was overrated. Hoolio seems like he's doing well. It would be awesome if he turns into one of the league's leading midfield goalscorers. Even sweeter because of the middle finger it gives Newie.

We cannot lose this game.
Absolutely cannot.
We have the shame of being one of the 2 HAL clubs to lose to a non-HAL club in the FFA cup. We CANNOT be the only club to do it twice.
And we're not going to. Really excited about this game.

 

[Big Al]

When he's banging them in during the season then I'll get excited about him, but newy fans said he did the same for them in preseason last year.

Also want to see Pain or Trent get some goals. On the goal front Pain has been letting us down

When does our Spaniard gladiator land ? is he playing Blacktown or what ?

 

[scottmac]

When does our Spaniard gladiator land ? is he playing Blacktown or what ?

Fairly sure he arrived Thursday as it said hes done his medical. Cant see why he wouldn't be available for the cup game. Depends what his fitness is like. Hasn't played a game in a while due to his ineligibility in Thailand

 

[Big Al]

Wouldn't expect him to. Just got here and unknown fitness levels.
Can't play him off the bench in case goes extra time and don't won't to hurt him if starts.

I don't expect to see him but maybe on the bench

You can win a comp on Mariners Facebook to watch the game with Asdurabal, so he won't be playing.

I doubt Wout would play either.

Girlfriend lives in Quakers Hill so i go to a Blacktown City game every now and then. Watched them on sunday vs Rockdale. Can't say they looked fantastic, very slow and no real fluency with their passing but i know small teams can get up for these games. Plus I'm assuming Choi will start on Wednesday (came on late on sunday) so a completely different team could show up. Either way, will be very disappointed if we can't put away an NPL side. Cant wait for Wednesday night.
