Tony999 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 So this is basically a night where we could get 18k or 6-7k. I'll guess the latter of the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) Agree, 7k seems about right. Only thing working in our favour is the general lack of sport at the moment, so a few more might turn up. JVS has indicated that the Jets will set up in a similar style to Roar, so he has encouraged more shots from distance (trust him to do this when Brattan isn't playing). Realistically, I just don't see how we can lose this. Even without Brattan, we just have too much quality and Newcastle's defence is just too frail on a man-for-man basis. Boogard on Fornaroli, Hoffman/Cowburn on Brandan and whoever they have at LB on Kamau. Edited November 10, 2016 by Harrison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 They will try and set up defensively but it won't work for them as they don't have the squad to do it. Bruno will target their young CB (Kontombus or something) and boogard will try and follow Bruno leaving massive holes in their center back area. Cowburn won't be able to contain Brandan. Vujica (who doesn't look too bad) v kamau will be good battle. But in midfield last week it was McKay, Holman, kristensen, oar and broich which is a pretty handy 5. This week it's Hoffman, hoole, poljak, ugarkovic and brown. If we can't overpower that we have bigger problems than I thought We score early and it could be a cricket score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEARTinator Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 FWIW 1/ Solid 3 nil WIN having learned our lessons from losses to Glory and Roar. JVS has a plan B in his back pocket 2/ 1 nil LOSS still a work in progress FFS 3/ Not turning up to AAMI on a bullsh1t Thursday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovan Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Don't underestimate Jets. Their only losses are Sydney at home and Wellington away. Draws with Adelaide and Wanderers and smashed Roar 4:0. On paper they look average but results are everything and so far they have been pretty decent. Going with a dull draw. Possibly 0:0.

Cityscape Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Weather looks ok outside so might actually be a decent crowd there. I think around 9k. People forget we have 11,500 members now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm not realisticly getting home until at least 11 tonight, and having to be up at 5 tomorrow for work.

KSK_47 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Not sure how many people on here understand the logistics of having children and attending a game on a Thursday night but def not expecting much in the way of attendance tonight. And i definitely dont see it as the fans being the problem if nobody goes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torn Asunder Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Expecting a massive crowd with the top tier open. Maybe 18k... The game itself will be an instant all time classic, with City winning 5-4 in the 89th minute from a miscued Bouzanis clearance from a Rose back pass, which bounces over the Jets keeper and into an empty net. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
