Rd 7 MV v CCM Thursday

[Gratis]

Looking forward to this after that last effort.

No McGing or Fabio.

Nor confident of the result due to MV's form but we'll be up for it - and an upset would be delightful.

First game with Ollie playing against us too

 

[FFC Mariner]

I think we are good for a point against anyone but a valiant battling loss seems likely.

Virtually no side can sit deep and hope to keep Victory out. Ha, Sydney.

Might as well have a go and see what happens.

Rosey to CB and Sim at LB?

 

[style_cafe]

Go all out & attack the Mexican`s!!!
We have nothing to lose & it`s not what they would expect.

 

[Rowdy]

Expecting a loss myself I'd like Walmsley to have a chat with Heff 2.0 this week about coming out of his shell a bit more this week.

Giving him the OK to express himself & 'have a go' at trying to beat a few players, turning more when he recieves with his back to goal & taking a shot instead of distributing wide.

Heffernan knows Victory, having played against them in a pre-season friendly for Hume City, which Hume City only just lost after leading for most of the 90mins

Hume were ahead 3-2, until they conceded 2 late goals in the 90th & 92nd minute for Melb.Victory to then take the win, 4-3.

(Edit: Soz, confused Heffernan - Heidelberg, with another Victorian NPL player, potential CCM GoalKeeper- Chris Oldfield from Hume City)

 

[midfielder]

Me thinks an upset is on the cards

From us?

Surely you jest.

What I posted in another thread...

I say lets topple the A league darlings Thursday night and remind all the gossipers what really matters.

To do that though we better put Posco on Berisha, make sure Austin and Rosey keep Kosta in check, Monty monsters Finkler, and help Fitzy to harrass Khalfallah, and Caceres to be highly active for the full 90.

I'm sure we'll create opportunities, but need to keep their attack at bay. Berisha takes his chances. So we can't give as many as we have to others or they will almost certainly roll us.

 

[McGrime]

"IF" we can convert even 20% of the chances we are currently creating + get a fair go 50/50 from the ref & Co I can see a very close game.
We will finish strong so lets keep them close for the first hour & see what eventuates.
I am seeing improvement every week from this young side.
Last week our Heart & Fitness was beyond reproach.
This week Skill & Finishing would go a long way to a result.

50/50 from the ref... bahahahaha

 

[BrisRecky]

Sorry about that McGrime, but you are spot on about the finishing, if we can even improve marginally on how we been doing, we may very well give the Mexicans are scare and a half...a win would be bonz, it would drive the media mental wondering who hacked musc**ts phone...but I'm betting on a draw....here is your chance Heff v2 and Royo the boyo....time to lift the veil and whoop arse

 

[shipwreck]

Heff has seemed a bit daunted by it all lately, hope he gets some mongrel about him and realises he deserves to be a pro.

 

[BrisRecky]

There was one corner v the nix, where I swear he was right in place for the corner then bottled it and backed off...so, yeh, a dash of mongrel would be good

 

[McGrime]

Your right about Heff he's a pretty big unit & if he can use controlled aggression along the lines of Monty last week he would kill it.
Although defenders seem to get away with murder sometimes ( McGing exception here)
Whereas if a front man throws himself around they get walloped like the Big "O" this season (That's O'Donovan not O'Sullivan...lol)
