Gotta be honest, you're the first person I know of that's called it Grahame Park
Was the original name of the old ground before that was torn down and ccstadium was built. Pics of the old Grahame park are on the wall level 4 at the leaguesy.

Plus there is a big stone out the front of the stadium on Dane dr with Grahame Park on it haha should be changed back

  • Sydney FC have lost only one of their last 16 Hyundai A-League games against Central Coast Mariners (W12, D3) and are undefeated in their last six meetings (W4, D2).
  • The Mariners have led at halftime in four of their last seven Hyundai A-League games against Sydney FC; however, they’ve picked up just one win from those four games (D2, L1).
  • The Sky Blues have a shooting accuracy of 56.3% this Hyundai A-League season – the highest of any team. Indeed, only once in the last eight seasons have they had a higher shooting accuracy (56.6% in 2017/18).
  • Only Western United FC (12) have conceded the opening goal of the game on more occasions this Hyundai A-League campaign than Central Coast (11); The Mariners have gained just three points from those 11 games (W1, L10).

Some pretty grim stats.

Well Sydney just got comprehensively schooled 4-0 in the ACL in a game that didn’t let up at all and could have gotten even uglier. There could be some tired legs on Sunday if we can stay in the game and push them until the final whistle.

I just posted my thoughts on the game in another thread, but wow, Yokohama are amazing and are so good to watch. Let's hope Sydney's spirits are crushed and they don't bounce back on Sunday.

Ninkovic makes Sydney tick.

Unfortunately he’s playing us and isn’t in the ACL squad.

Also was Sydney first game for 20days or something I think i saw.

That said how good did Ange have his team playing

And aren't they still in pre-season?
Their season starts on the weekend but this was their third competitive match this month.

Ninkovic makes Sydney tick.
He does but Brattan and Baumjohann have been very important too so if they're not 100% it will show. Could easily be some tired legs in that midfield and back line after a game of that pace and the quick turn around.

Nice spot, I missed that on my first look. Not listed as injured just not there at all. If he's behind Melling and Shabow in the pecking order theres some issues there. If he's had two dummy spits in 2 seasons here we need to sell/swap/release him and not keep him around for next year.
