Same here, not very confident considering how our last game eventuated against them.

[belaguttman]

Expecting a 3-0 loss for us playing at Sauce Bottle Stadium.

[kingofhearts]

Fuck the negativity, 5-0 win coming up.

[cremorne]

All settled in, now have to wait another hour, wasn’t it a 5 pm start?

[heart1011]

I hope we are all wrong but unfortunately I am the same. Not feeling overly confident to be honest..

Hall starting as the CB is interesting. I'm glad Lopane is playing in the midfield. He is terrible on the wing..

It is a 6.00 p.m. start today according to the club website. You could be forgiven for not knowing because there has been no news on the fixture for three days. And it you do find the news item you have to go past the women's news first... Leckie, Jakolis, Behich and Sulemani are out.

Livescore has it at 5.00 p.m tomorrow...

Was it changed for some reason, or has APL closed it's doors already?

It was changed because its been so hot lately up there, they wanted to start the game later so hopefully the heat wasn't as bad

Reis and Soups not on the bench? so Hall is playing out of necessity it seems.

[Tommykins]

Mazzeo can absolutely fuck off with these back heel flick things. You're much better than that pal.

He’s had a couple of bad critical touches, has happened in previous games as well. Besides a couple of goals, I’m not fully onboard with the hype on him based on match viewings yet but the club knows better.

It’s hot so CCM will play in slower pace and this will help us.

Forward line is an issue atm, zero touches for JMAC, Natel slow and Matteo some poor touches - It’s going take something special to score IMO.

Anyone see the chat before the game started? Apparently it was mentioned that there are rumours floating around that Jmac and Vidmar don't get along hence the rumours that he doesn't want to renew his contract.. interesting if true!

[haz]

Galloway is past it.

Doesn't surprise me. Vidmar pretty much washed his hands of the issue when questioned. No mention of "I've had a chat with Jamie blah blah blah" -  just "let the club sort it out." Doesn't give the impression of a close relationship.

So neither Reis nor Souprayen is on the bench?

Aziz can't come back quick enough. Galloway is getting absolutely rinsed by a fairly standard ability aleague player again

He just can’t play on the left.

[Nate]

Lopane the club's biggest passenger this season, don't know how he starts consistently given how little he provides.

[Mr MO]

It’s a miracle that it’s still 0-0.

[Baka1]

Surely he brings on Nabbout and Caputo for macca and mazzeo. Both have had shockers

If this club wants to move forward, improve and maintain the same style, we need to look further than JMAC. Perhaps Vidmar sees this? If there was a real issue why is he still wearing the armband by the way?

Bruno 2.0 coming up.

He’s a “project” like Talbot perhaps?

Edited January 21 by Mr MO

[jw1739]

Removing the armband would be drastic.

[haz]

Uggghhh

[cremorne]

Is Talbot trained to kick straight at the goalkeeper?

[kingofhearts]

Barring aslan the rest of this team sucks

[heart1011]

I said it last game and I'll say it again.. we really are missing Jakolis!! Also Behich too!

[haz]

Not very inspiring subs there Vidmar. 

[heart1011]

Ahh yes.. subbing on Ugarkovic is like throwing a witches hat out there..

[cremorne]

Nabbout is doing a lot more than Mazzeo was.

No excuse, Maclaren should have scored.

[heart1011]

Well let's see if this works.. maybe the other witches hat Natel could put one in.. 🤣🤣

[haz]

What happened to our defenders? 

[KSK_47]

Why do we even sign defenders

Ah well, we can all pray for a revolution when Leckie returns.
