Western Sydney Wanderers vs Kashima Antlers 21/4/2015 7:30PM

In

Just bought 2 tickets. Weather will be interesting/fun, can't wait!!

In Popa's post match interview last night he said NTS has Plantar Fasciitis and only started jogging yesterday but he hopes he will be right for Tuesday night.  It would be good to have his experience back in the side for this crucial match.

Must win - don't want to put so much pressure on a win in Guangzhou.

BOM official forecast for Tuesday:

Cloudy. Very high (90%) chance of rain. The chance of a thunderstorm. Winds southerly 35 to 50 km/h turning southwesterly 30 to 45 km/h in the evening  Temps max 18 min 16 degrees

 

Will such conditions slightly favour WSW? or neither teams ?

Big game for us, just a huge opportunity that we need to take, no matter how we go about getting the result. The weather looks to be shocking & will make things difficult. Antlers have it all to play for after the result against GE so it's not going to be a push over.

 

Just hope we played like we did in the second half against Adelaide. On the side we'd go with:

Covic

Tanaka - Spira - Aspro/NTS - Golec

La Rocca - Takahagi

Haliti - Bridge - Romeo

Bulut

 

If we are behind: Ruka for Bridge (move castelen 10)

If we are in front: Trifiro for Bridge (move Takahagi 10) & Ruka for Romeo (doesn't work hard enough in defense)

Juric for Bulut at 65-70

Not another bloody mid week storm to drive through!

Its crucial no doubt but for what it is worth Guangzhou will likely have qualified if not topped the group by then. So it may be a dead rubber for them.

The conditions will certainly favour the fans!

 

Speaking of which, wonder what the turnout is going to be like? 4 or 5 figures? School holidays have just ended if I remember correctly.

 

Scouting extended highlights of the two sides the last time they met a couple of months ago.

Is that our new Greek signing?

 They need to win this match day against FC Seoul, it certainly won't be a push over for them. Let's get through this matchday before we start looking at computations of the final matchday because a loss here on Tuesday will see us ruin any chance of getting through to the next round.

Don't know if you've attended matches this year when it's been raining but it's certainly affected turn outs. It doesn't help us in the slightest, especially when we need a big turn out!

I'll be there, cold, wet, windy and a muddy pitch ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh reminds me of home, beautiful conditions   Can't beat a bit of football under lights in filthy conditions, just throw in a ref who lets really hard tackles go unpunished and I will be in Teessider heaven

I am with you on that one, Boro.

 

And I haven't lived a day in England!

Yeah I'm kind of happy with the cold weather too. It's a bit more comfortable to jump around when it's colder. Plus all the casuals in our ranks can comfortably wear their long Ben Sherman jackets without having to boil and sweat in the name of fashion.

Just bought two tickets. Let it rain and pour (:

let it rain, let it pour

in.

It's now raining sideways, it must be getting even closer to game day.

 

Western Sydney Well-fillers.

Glasgow conditions.

moving from east terrace to active for this one.

 

Will leave the poncho at home, let it rain let it pour

you'd be nuts to be anywhere but active for this one. too fncken cold.

this keeps up tomorrow is going to be fuuuuuunnnnnnn

 

but if it could just **** off until about 5 tomorrow  would be great otherwise the **** will get postponed 

Glasgow conditions.

 

This would be a respectable summers day in Glasgow

I reckon we should dump the dodgy XXXX and replace it with Gluehwein.  mmm warmy goodness

 

(wouldn't want a gluehwein shower though)

 

I wouldn't miss this for the world.

HAHAHA @ Mack trolling Johnno in his signature

I hope that it's raining this heavy and the wind is colder tomorrow night, getting super excited for it

this keeps up tomorrow is going to be fuuuuuunnnnnnn

 

but if it could just **** off until about 5 tomorrow  would be great otherwise the **** will get postponed 

Whats the chance of that realistically happening?

Cannot wait to go mental for the lads tomorrow night in the wet!

Was thinking that as well. Read somewhere they were expecting another 80mm of rain tomorrow? Would be an AFC decision i guess
