Brisbane Roar vs Western Sydney Wanderers 4/3/2016 7:00PM

If santa keeps scoring in the last 15, im happy to leave him on the bench until 65-70 minutes.

A little trip down memory lane, featuring our first ever a-league goal, win, and a future legend...

 

 

 

still remember watching mooy's shot hit the right post,  fly behind the keeper, hit the left post and come out.  We were still scoreless in the league at that point and I thought we were destined to stay that way

Remember when 'experts' were saying that we'd be lucky to win a game that season

predicting a draw for this game.

if we do win this game then we should finish top 2.

Same here,after Mooy's shot I thought we were destined to have a miserable season

2 horse race with Adelaide imo. The game against Adelaide in a couple weeks could be the decider for the Plate.

glad its a home.  (only having 2/6 at home is a worry though, although we can make the Newcastle game more like a home game)

Agree. A month ago I thought this was probably going to be the pivotal match for the Plate.

 

Now I think if we win this, it will knock Brisbane out of contention and only Adelaide will have a shot at going past us.

 

I'm getting a sense of déjà vu, namely CCM at Gosford Season 1.

Just had a look at the fixtures of Adelaide and Brisbane. Both will be playing with the 2 plastic sides in the last 2 games.

Can esfc help us win the plate? It will be funny if they did.

 

All important games from here on out.

Let's win the plate v Adelaide at home 

A win in this game will pretty much lock us into to top 2. We'll be 6 points clear of 3rd with 5 games remaining.

 

Knowing Wanderers though, we never do things the easy way.  

If we beat Brisbane this week and Adelaide two weeks after, we can pretty much have one hand on it...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By it, I mean the Premiers Plate. Not sure about the other hand though.

Well if we have one hand on the Premiers plate then I can't see why not....

so your expecting rain then?

Let's win the plate v Adelaide at home 

I was about to rebuff my own post and say it isn't mathematically possible. It actually is...

 

We're only 2 points ahead. We play them in 3 weeks, meaning maximum 6 points available. (v Brisbane and Jets)

That's 8 points ahead if Adelaide lose the next 2 games.

Beat them, thats 11 points ahead with only 3 games left.

 

Can't see it happening unfortunately. (they play Nix away and City at home before us)

The way things are going, the away trip to Wellington may actually be damn important if we don't sew it up the week earlier v CCM.

 

Edit: obviously this still depends on Brisbane and the rest dropping points

Bet you any money the mother of all storms rolls through. It wouldn't be a true Wanderers game if it didn't

Being a bit selfish... But seeing it's my first away game trip to Melb, I'm hoping we wrap it up there...we can also celebrate the week after at home.

But tbh I don't care if it's at the NIx as long as we get it.

My god we're screwed if we have to beat Wellington for the plate lol

For those who are going to be in Brisbane. The pub that looked after us on Grand Final Day are more than happy to have us back. Got this email from the boss.

It will go to the final game I would think.

Must win game for Roar but not for us. Draw in Brisbane, Melbourne, at home against ADE, win against Jets, CCM, Nix. 50 points = the title.

Your calculations comfort me in these dark times of uncertainty

Same. We absolutely smashed them in that game as well, until the end.

The pressure is definitely on them and they will be working on solving problems this week rather than just working out how to beat us.

 

While Popa's plan has been disrupted this season from time to time, aside from the Wellington aberration, we haven't been consistently unlocked or broken down. We've been frustrated, not taken chances, but rarely overrun.

According to The World Game Matt McKay may not play against us as his wife is having a baby. Also James Donachie is out with a knee injury.

Topor-Stanley (Suspended 1 week) and Vidosic (Injury 1 week) both to miss the clash this weekend.

Key is to not lose in Brisbane at home against Adelaide. The rest will sort itself out.

I just hope we try someone else other then Sotirio for this game. Give someone else an oportunity, even if its off the bench. Matt Sim even ffs.

 

Interesting to see how we cope without Topor. Hes got lots of haters but hes a leader.

I think the other way - beat Brissy and Adelaide and we're home. Especially Adelaide. If we draw against them then they've only got to get a win when we get a draw and they're on top. We need to end their run ourselves.

 

As an aside, how many top of the table clashes have we had this year? Seems like heaps but I think the post-boycott Victory game and the recent home City games were 1 v 2, and the Brisbane games have both been 1 v 3?? 

**** the meow and **** Henrique that slippery little goblin
