Round 14 - Victory v CCM @ Geelong

[Forum Phoenix]

We've got a great defensive record which is funny seeing as though we shipped half or goals against in the first 2 or 3 games. We just can't score. The worst goals for record in the comp and if you look at our play it doesn't deserve that record. Asdrubal or Pain or Appiah need to start scoring and quick. Powell isn't part of that cause he's really only had one full game and has assisted or scored 4 of our 13 goals. For me that's a damming stat against the 3 i've mentioned.
I think victory play a game that is suited to our style so it could be high scoring.
I'm tipping a 3-1 victory for us. That's if wet get some goals out of our forwards

Love this post. Just struggling for the confidence to believe we’ll start scoring again. But don’t see Victory being kept scoreless either. So we have to.

Love game days. I think of Fury and Gold Coast and the FFA and we’re bloody lucky to still have a club at at all to support!

Few issues in our attack to resolve but everything else I’m very positive and excited about, time to get back to good form and good cheer.

This is going to be a terrible 9 days. I am expecting 3 losses, unfortunately. MV are in form. Jets are a legit championship threat. City....who knows, but we're facing them under very difficult circumstances and our match fitness and focus has reverted back to pre-season levels.

The only way we can pull out a win over the next games is if we do what we did against Sydney and come out full throttle, incredibly fired up and focused for some random reason and pull something out of our arse. Our depth is still going to be an issue.

Earlier in the season we thought something clicked and it was all working. Whatever clicked broke again. Maybe the formation change we're going to see will help it click again, but I'm having a hard time believing our team is that adaptable.

A League app has preview for the game and we have never beaten Kev while he is the boss. He has 10 wins and 3 draws against us.

Also has Kennedy with a 79% save percentage the best in the league to have played more than 1 game

Weatherzone app says 42c at 5pm
Dropping to 36c at kickoff 31c at halftime and 26c at fulltime.

We are going to have some baked boys for Newcastle

We're used to our boys playing like they're baked

It’s game day and we are on the train to Geelong hoping that the boys can spring a surprise ambush on the Muscateers.

It s already as hot as Hades and I am clinging to the hope that the temperature today knocks them around more than us.

Paolo said at the airport that the boys trained early at Tuggerah yesterday, in order to be fully recovered for tonight. Let’s hope he he got that bit right.

COYY

Getting pretty windy too.

Last time I didn't get up at 3am to watch we best Sydney 2-0 and all other games I've dragged myself out of bed to see us play shit.

For the good if you lads that are bracing the heat, I might sleep in.

Yeah severe wind warning for Geelong as well this afternoon

 

[priorpeter]

Yeah, apparently Paolo was concerned about you eating all the pies at halftime.....

Hilarious, such wit.

And thus this absolute farce of a scheduling debarcle begins , I’m not expecting max points over the course of the next 9 days , but a point or two would be nice, you never know , if it’s gonna click, this would be a good time to do it....and wouldn’t it stun the pundits...which is always good
