Purr vs Mainers

[Corsair]

This season finish is such a nailbiter. I'm going to be so gutted if those penalties against the divers are the difference.

I see a bus in our future. A bus with 10 roar players on it, in front of Jamie young.

Yep they tried it against Citeh so fully expect their plan A to be well and truly in place against us. Score line flattered the Roar, Citeh hit plenty of wood work and at one stage Roar had scored 2 goals from 3 shots. Just shows how important it is to take your opportunities, something we have not done well for many games. If we miss sitters again we will go down, I'm not expecting us to win to be honest.

That's one game, think of the points we dropped against Victory they hurt more because it was our mediocre play that cost us not poor refereeing decisions.

We just need to sit back, make the breaks from mid, I expect an open game, with both teams trying to counter, and not looking to hold the ball up, if the mariners do hold the ball, they'll lose.

And far more in our control. Dont get me wrong we were robbed against Adelaide but dropping 4 points, nearly 5 was far more damaging.

Just on dropped points the late pass to let SFC draw hurts us a lot....

On the Roar game, I feel good about this one, they have been in great form but had a huge built up and then let down in the MCity game and flying and short turn around...

If i was to change something up for the Roar I’d go 5 at the back.

Move Hall into start at RB of a solid back 3 with Miller and Clisby as wing backs.

That would mean dropping Stens (won’t happen) and go Olli Niz and DDS with Simon and Koul

The reason being is to suffocate the roar like they did to us. They love to play on the break and use their pace. This would give our backs cover.

Play for a point away from home

Then if we go behind bring on Hatch and Bouhman for Miller and Clisby and move to traditional wingers and play a back 3.

Need to strangle the Roar IMO

Time to start knocking off hoodoos - 3 W in the next 3 games please. Roar in Brisbane, Scum away and City at AAMI (hopefully minus Maclaren and Nabbout).

I don't feel good about it, they handed us our biggest loss at home this season and I've watched them a fair bit this season and they are very similar to us and are in form where we are not. To get two goals against Citeh at AAMI park is no mean feat and for a game in which they were dominated they almost salvaged a draw. We will have to play out of our skins to win and I don't think we have done this for some time and we have always been terrible after long breaks. I hope they prove me wrong but I'm not confident at all. If we don't score at least 3 then we are no chance, time for Nizzy, Stens, Clisby, Nigro, DDS and Oli to hit the back of the net and stop butchering chances. Not enough goals from this lot in my opinion, if they all contributed more then we would maybe still be on top or closer to Citeh.

Full squad is listed as available other than Urena

I agree. The full package imo.

Nah 1 more sleep till we back in 2nd.

Lucky goal off a deflection and two late goals against a tired 10 men team. Where closing down was the problem.

Joey on the hand is a problem and anyone who gives him space to cut in will pay for it but it’s obvious now so don’t give it to him.

They were quite happy to let us control the game which didn’t suit us. Will be interesting to see if they do that at home.

Time for a spirited performance and Koul and Matt are off the yellow card suspension threat so watch out defenders.

2-1 to us

Solid player this season and comes across as a calm gentleman... who'll demolish you! Just what's needed in a CB.

 

[shipwreck]

I'll be at the game, keen affff

 

[Ozhammer]

Great effort Shipwreck, hope the boys can reward your effort with a great performance tonight. I will be rushing back from training to catch the start on TV.
