Harrison Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Seems obvious but we need to win this. We’ve lost one and drawn one against Brisbane. I wouldn’t call them a bogey team but even when they were out of sorts we couldn’t beat them. Now they’re in-form and we are coming off a bye. Not sure if there are many changes here. Delbridge is available and Mombaerts likes him. He’s the most likely. A change in midfield is the other option, could be Metcalfe or Genreau.

Imo it's more that we struggle away against Brisbane than anything else. It happens nearly every time. At home I'm pretty certain we are much more successful against them. So it doesn't concern me right now that they are playing better or that we fumbled those other games in relation to this coming game. Home ground advantage will be the difference imo.

Brisbane are a funny team because they’ve got a few quality players and others that can change their entire approach like AAH. I don’t like watching their football but recently they’ve been a lot more effective, not so much in scoring but in shutting out opponents. Only conceded three in their last six, and we’re talking about strong opposition too. Just read now that 15 of their 20 goals have been scored after the hour mark. Their last six goals were all scored in the second half. Definitely something to watch out for considering our press tapers off and we leave more gaps. Score first and transition to a more compact shape in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could very well frustrate them where they make errors and Brisbane capitalise on this later in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Brisbane look terrible usually until they bring in amadi Holloway and Wenzel-Halls I dont know why the both don't start, instead of Australian footballs biggest myth Scott Mcdonald, has anyone actually seen him score a goal?

Deluka Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Women’s team are also kicking off at 4:00pm - we’ll probably never have such a stacked women’s team again given the rise of women’s football in Europe! Was good to see the RBB at last week’s game, hopefully we can have decent numbers turn out for this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Tough game. Brisbane in red hot form. I’m hoping Denis will get a start ahead of Flo. Anyway I think we can and will win. 2-1 perhaps. hopefully we’ll see a bit more from Susaeta in particular, who hasn’t done much so far in my book.

citymad Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 I don't see Genreau playing much of a part for the remainder of the year. The club will not like being told by a player that they want to leave, especially if they want the player to stay. I hope he does but if Genreau has rejected a contract extension/resign then he will be a pariah. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.e. feels like one we should win so we probably wont? I am feeling different. It feels like a game we will lose because we should have won it, and therefore we will win it because the opposite of what should happen generally happens.
