Western Sydney Wanderers vs Perth Glory 1/11/2015 5:00PM

 

I love how this went from a "Pre Match" thread, to a "Weather Report" thread.

Old mate Tim Bailey has us covered, 

 

 

 Met him once, right short arse. Looks like he goes to the same hair implant place as Warnie lol

Who remembers that apocalyptic storm last season when we played city at home

Fed to be struck by lightning and bag a hat trick

The storm so apocalyptic that it I missed the mid-weekgame because repeated strikes of lightning shut down the western line? My 9 yo and I were sitting at Sevo station when lightning struck the roof of the car park. FMD that noise was loud and that light was bright. He was shaking so much after that I took him home rather than push on to Parramatta.

If my memory is correct, I was drenched getting to the stadium. I snuck into the posh seats to stay undercover from the monsoon. Wasn't too effective as we sat near the edge and the rain was horizontal.

Kickoff was delayed (by 30 minutes?) as the officials waited for the monsoon to pass and the water on the field to drain away.

That match is the reason why I requested to move to undercover seats this year. Doesn't help with the walk to and from the stadium tho haha.

A storm on Sunday will be a relative piece of cake. Bring it on. Hoping for our first win!

Lightning hit the stadium light and it went out , sounded like a bomb went off

We play better in extreme weather now I think of it

Not many out there are tipping us to win.

If we lose will people accept there's a problem or will it be a case of 'next week we're good' etc etc ?

For some reason tickets are selling very slowly in the east stand.  About 20 so far today.

I sit in the east stand and dint realise you could get tickets - i thought it was for members only and some slackers didn't turn up each week. I might look at getting tickets for my grand kids - that'll get the planes going again at least!

...which makes me think why are my seats so shite?...

No it'll be another week of our season starts here, which is fine by me

win or lose

There are about 3 bays at the southern end of the eastern stand/terrace that go on sale each game plus the away corner bay and GA tickets in the southern terrace.

What about if we play like we did last weekend, dominate & then concede a goal with only allowing 2 shots on target?

did you wake up on the glass half empty side of the bed? Positive Prydz, be positive

 

don't forget the buy back scheme, people can release there tickets back into the pool to be sold

 

Mine has been on there for 2 days and hasn't sold.  It took 2 hours to sell for the first game.  I might not get my points for 3.5 stickers this week.

Any info on a march?

Must win, no doubt about it. This game is so important. C'Mon you Wanderers!!!

We need a win and the occasional match goers will start coming back.

win or lose

 

I sometimes feel that people don't really understand what this means. It refers to you showing up each week and supporting your side regardless of result, not standing by and accepting mediocrity or being fine whether you win or lose. I'm not saying that is what you are saying but I've seen numerous times people quote this when someone makes a post condemning the side or Popa. 

My personal thoughts regarding this match. Only thing that matters is a result. Its 4 out of 30 now, couldn't care less about 'performances' or 'time to gel'. Win any way possible. I'll take a terrible performance resulting in a win.

I hate losing, puts me in a bad mood for the next week. i have a good feeling we are going to smash someone soon.

Hope it's Perth. Especially as they do that "you're ****" thing with the keeper, the bad bunch of bellends

We got this. 3-1 easy win

No. That never works.

I predict us to lose 3-1. Covic to have a blinder.

need him as in impact, think last week was forced to come on earlier than what Popa would of expected. Only change would be bridge replacing castellen and maybe vido coming on in the 2nd half. Who will get the go ahead will it be Santa and Pio, or satirio and Pio and Sant to replace one of them later on?

Santa has been out for soooooooooooo long, I would expect him to start from the bench for 2 or 3 weeks at least. But who knows with Popa, wouldn't be surprised to see him in the first 11.

Looking forward to seeing Santa's hustle and bustle around the box again. It is what Santa does off the ball that is as good as his goals, he gives defenders a hard time.

I'm just being honest mate, I won't be happy if we play **** & we let him sloppy goals but I don't think will happen based on the last three games. If that happens we have to ask why (bad performance, played ****, mistakes etc) but based on the last three weeks it's only a matter of time before we turn things around 

Any info on a march?

Really? I don't think anyone is happy with losing or anyone has accepted mediocrity. In fact what has been mediocre about the last 3 weeks? The only thing that has been missing is us being one goal more than the other team.

I think anyone will take 3 points no matter how we play this weekend but I don't think we should be abandoning our style because we can't put the ball in the back of the net. If we just want results, let's just go back to S1 & play hoofball (route 1) to dino. That's not the answer.

- Now we know why popa has been careful with Dario, I think we will see him around the 50-60 minute on Sunday

- Same with Santa, I think he might get the last 10-20 minutes depending on how Pio is going (fingers crossed he scores 2 & popa can sub him at 80 minutes to big applause to pump up his confidence!

Out for this match won't be able to make it to AAMI park by 5 pm.

  ^^

******* amateur hour!

^^^ maybe don't sub him around the 80th/81st minute. He'll think we're turning our back on him

The amount of times these newspapers get things wrong... please! Can't be that useless.... oh wait.

I think he knows what happens in the 80th minute by now!!

Western Sydney Wanderers striker Brendon Santalab looking for immediate impact upon return

Quote ""Pio has been grinding away and I hope he can score this week and I hope I can come on in the last 20 or 30 minutes and do what I do."

"Our fans are the best in the A-League and we want to win for them, especially this Sunday. We disappointed them last week in the derby and we want to make up for that this week."

Santa, legend

And well in time for Christmas.

I'm kind of hoping that this season will be similar to what we had in our inaugural season which is a few losses in the first three rounds and then gradually starting having some wins and draws.

I think this game will be redemption for us after not only having the controversial loss last week against East Sydney FC but also the controversial loss in the FFA cup against Perth Glory.

I'm looking at a 2-1 victory for the Wanderers this weekend and hopefully this will start our winning form.
