Brisbane Roar vs Western Sydney Wanderers 6/03/2020 7:30PM

First

This is a sticky one. Brisbane are starting games slow and finishing very strong, we're the opposite. Brisbane's defence is very strong, attack is a little impotent, we're the opposite. 

5 nil win

So last time we lost we played 4-3-3.

In that game, Schwegler was out suspended with Elrich and DG as fullbacks. Meier was in the team as well with Mo Adam starting

We have DGs suspension and injury concerns over Kamau (abductor) and Baccus. 

The biggest worry is the fullback situation with Russell likely to come in. JP could potentially play Baccus at LB and leave Sullivan with Schwegler.

Young is in outstanding form so probably a 2-0 or 3-1 win. 

Cox vs Aldred will be interesting.

Going for a hard fought draw...keep the unbeaten going for JP and would be a decent point i think given the injuries and suspension issues.

Really hope we finally beat the Roar in this one.

This is a tough game I reckon and hopefully we don't have this derby hangover

We just won a game scoring in the 81st minute we are getting much better at playing a full game 

I put our fitness down to a combination of, the cooler weather & not being over trained.

Cannot see that happening.

Cordier starts at LB.

If Bruce were fit, then we may consider starting Tate at LB, where he has filled in before.  

The right back role would be easier to fill from within our youth ranks, with Mo AL Taay the likely replacement / bench player this week.

Aquilina a YS, has recently returned from injury, so he will add to our LB depth when fully fit.

They play bus parking counter attack football, needs to convert early goals or expect a draw or worse. Not going to be easy but winnable. 

very tricky 2nd half is key that is where most of the goals come for them. But we must win this is a 6 pointer for us

Looking forward to couple of pints and a 1-2 win, love that term 'six pointer' as it gets to the sharp end this is really the game to stick it to the pussycats, 6th place beckons...

we done the leaders on their own patch last week, of course we can do the Roar as well !

Wanderers 2 - Brisbane Meow 0

I'll take a drawski.

Unfortunately Kamau is one of our 'made of glass' players and will be injured on and off throughout his career. Pity as his form hit gold.

Roar will play it as tight as they dare on their home patch. This has 1-1 all over it. OK by me, we have to ensure we don't lose momentum ahead of the next Derby.

(PS for the Smogster - just like Forest Monday night at the Boro. Good solid away point!)

We will win  3  -  2

2-1 win. Pop 2 early goals, defend well until the 70th then inexplicably tune out again. 

I'm hoping for a big game out of Sullivan again, assuming Baccus is still out. I'm sure he can fill that 6/8 role next season with Schwegler or another strong leader.

A win in this game and we put everyone all the way up to MCFC on notice

Getting better, still not great, the Newcastle game wasn't long ago

My brain is telling me it'll be a draw due to the injuries and suspensions towards the squad.
My heart tells me we'll win it

0-0

Fixed

So its been highlight Fraudsters will also be playing Adelaide this round which means this game has just taken that extra bit of importance 4 teams going for 2 spots. We have a game in hand and 8 games left to play

Id like to see Cox score in this one - the chances now of us having a free kick and it rebounding off the post onto young and over the line are now much more remote than this time last week.

Further to this.

Our loss percentage under Beath            47.62%

Brisbane's win percentage under Beath   44.12%

That leaves us with a 8.26 % chance of a draw.
