Western Sydney Wanderers vs Adelaide United 1/1/2016 7:40PM

Adelaide are still a danger team for me as they have been improving every game and I think they will be a tough opponent. Much tougher than Newcastle last week. The good news is that we have Andreu back and I will take a 1-0 win if that's all we get out of this.

I agree with Taurus - their recent results flatter them a bit.

 

I think we will put 3 past them.

 

If I was Andreu I would put the big shinnies on though because isais is a master hacker.

Adelaide still didn't look convincing against Wellington so whilst there has been some improvement they are far from challenging for the title.

New Year's Day. Close to a full house. Fine weather. Barca legend on the sideline. Clash of two possession style clubs. On an undefeated streak. Andreu is back.

 

Hell yes, in +1.

Probably be more spainiards on the park than Aussies for this one haha

 

Perfect weather forecast expecting. Big crowd!

Loving the fact that Adelaide appear very keen to talk up their recent form, lol.

 

Their last 4 performanes

 

- 2 - 1 loss to MV when they put the cue in the rack after the fan walkout. 

- Extra time win via penalty against 10 man BoringFC  

- Scoreless draw against Jets &

- Win against a 10 man Nix where game was in the balance with 20 minutes to go & 2 of the goals came from an own goal & a GK error.

 

They won't know what hit them tomorrow night.

I think the key to this game will be to score early, yes there last four performances might flatter to deceive but they'll be full of confidence (if there talk is anything to go by) so it's important to nip it in the bud. The longer the game goes go on, the more confidence they'll get.

 

I know it's a bit obvious but the battle will be won & loss in the midfield. I don't think Adelaide have nailed down the possession game as well as we have & Amor quite hasn't got Adelaide firing like Gombwow. We are a very different side to the one that faced them in round two, so no point in looking back on that game. The other factor will be the heat, if it gets hot then we might not get the fast paced, high pressing game that we would get on a cooler night.

 

With a full strength XI that put in a similar performance to Brisbane & MV then we will win but let's not forget Perth. They put in a staunch performance & we possibly went in with a little bit of complacency that ended up costing us three points.

 

Will be interesting to see who takes the tittle of King this game, will it be King Mitch or that imposter Bridge

Ticket update - around 100 scattered seats just been put back on sale. Looks like they're trying to pack as many people in as possible.

 

Going to be a hell of a crowd.

You're very optimistic Victory. I don't think we'll crack 15k.

I expect 14k

IN - taking my best mate and his son who are ex-pats living in Hong Kong plus his father in law who is out from scotland and unfortunately is a massive 'blue nose'....

been talking up the wanderland experience so you peoples better turn it up a notch or three otherwise watch out......i will hire marc warren to try and tackle you all  

 

Emphasis on the word 'try'

 

Yeah 14-15k seems realistic.

 

Shut Goodwin down and they're finished, Elrich has really gone missing this season.

Will be 15-16k, tickets have gone much quicker than the run of four 14k games earlier in the year.

The bigger issue is member turnout.  It's always difficult to predict who will be going and who isn't.  The club is trying a buyback system, but the average Joe member would likely have no idea that the buyback system exists.  I still think we'll crack 15k though.

Finally got a hand on a ticket - RBB it is! =D

It's a public holiday, it's a night game, WSW are in top form and the weather is absolutely perfect.

 

In theory, it should be the biggest member turnout of the season.

Will be good to see the club push the buyback system a bit more. I know they put it on emails but I'm thinking a text message a few days before a game & push it a bit more of social media.

From a Victory perspective, we get emails weeks after weeks promoting the system. Also every member gets an SMS a few days before the cutoff for each game.

 

It works well.

Well if a member can't make it they can't make it unless they ever choose the Big Bash over the Wanderers then, for me, that is grounds for revocation of Membership!

The sms and possibly a simple smartphone app which you can use to sell back or sell onto a friend would be best. I think someone once mentioned Barcelona having an app like this?

Yes, make the process simpler (not that hard following the steps online to tell you the truth but maybe an app is a good idea) & an SMS (let's be honest does anyone here actually read the emails from the club?) would be ideal. I know the system is there but i feel it's under utilised. The boycott & Christmas Eve aside, getting 14k average means 5k members on average are no shows, highlights the system isn't quite working efficiently or effectively.

Besides away bay tickets, it's a complete sellout tomorrow!

 

Happy new year guys.

Get your hungover a**es out of bed you soft c**ks. It's game day. im an expert in hangovers (perhaps the world authority) and how s**t they are, so if I can pull my sorry a**e out of bed, so can you.

 

Get f**king psyched!!

There's nothing that a sausage and egg mcmuffin and a red bull can't fix lol

Yes it does appear to be sold out. So now it's upto the members to show up. Still think we can get around 16k

 

I love the smell of a new year in the morning.

Liam Reddy just walked past me in Westpoint. No I didn't say anything.

Sold out!

 

It is but it'll be a 15k turnout.

 

I wonder if opting in for your seat would work ?

Back to civilization after a week in some remote spots on the south coast and what better time to be back than for a game.
