Nah

Last time I was at a very wet Kogarah night was back in 2006, the pitch wasn't water logged but the hill was very slippery and muddy, and the game somehow still had over 19k.

Kograh gets wet for Cox goals

I was waiting for that lol

Last time I went to Kogarah was went the Western Reds were still in existence.  I think Dragons won by 30 points that day. But I remember it was majority all hills around the field.

But it's not Wanderers hater Kris Griffiths-Jones 

Need Baccus to put Ninkovic in his pocket. Without him they get stifled in attacked.

Use the Brisbane Brexit tactics to put pressure up the pitch and give the f****** no space.

Let's see if Grant survives another Alireza Faghani game without getting red-carded.

Of all games to look at of how other teams played I would look at the Nix. Both games they deserved more, probably should have beaten them twice to be honest.

I am no expert but from the first game the 1st half they were destroyed but Talay changed something in the structure of the team in the 2nd half Davilla had influence in the front 3rd and they used Sotirio and Piscopo's pace to stretch Sydney that they had no choice but tighten up in defence.

The 2nd game Nix started stronger and dominated Sydney in every area. It all came down to Steven Taylor's unlucky own goal. But Nix had more possession, more chances and had the Smurfs on the back foot that they actually conceded 15 fouls for 3 yellow cards to stop the Nix. Contrast the Nix had 10 fouls to the one yellow card, with 55% of the possession again they seem to have a way of stretching Sydney and make things uncomfortable for them

Nix played flat 4-4-2 both times.

Second game Devlin made a right pest in the middle. Piscopo and Sotirio out wide with Ball and Davilla up front.

Faghani will be our best on the pitch

All we need is our Japanese friend in the VAR box now!!

Last week I said I wasn't even thinking of going, yesterday I booked tickets in the RBB. In +2. I feel this will be such a unique game that it would be hard to miss. Absolutely p***ing down rain, no Baumjohann, Cox up-front (hopefully), 1k+ sold away seats at bloody Kogarah (plus more, they have released more away tickets on Ticketek. With the possibility we could win or pull a result from the game, I think it would be a very memorable day however it goes to be honest. 

O'Neil - gone

ABJ - Out

Zulo - Out

KGJ - Out

Alireza - In

Hmm, we might be in with a sniff here.

Anyone got a tip on getting to this ground, if driving?
Is there any chance of parking nearby, or is it better to park near a train station (Rockdale?) and train in the last bit.

If you live in the western suburbs of blacktown or further out you can catch a train at Parramatta station at 3-21pm

direct to Kogarah and back at 7-30pm from the same station. ( Why drive )

It's going to be a mud bath tomorrow. A real leveller. Be like watching a winter game in the 70s at the Baseball Ground (for those who know what I'm on about)

They could have grown rice on that field, memories of Hunter & Lee going for it on MOTD.

Smurfs online complaining about Alizreza, i guess they dont like being on the balanced side of 50/50s instead of getting them all from their mates

Actually more like Man City fans, self entitled plastic bitters who can't accept any team being better than them

Says something when they're outraged at being appointed the most experienced and highly regarded referee in the league.

Almost as if getting correct decisions is a negative for them...

Hopefully we put someone on Nincovic as Paul01 says and stop him turning with the ball , it is a game Sullivan would excel in, hopefully Baccus can do the job 

I think Sydney are there for the taking , their midfield is looking very ordinary with Retre and Cacares with King filling in for Zullo at fullback and if we can someone running at him he will struggle. 

Maybe Schwiegler can do a job and the weirdo Luke Bratten

I will be there  

Watching on TV from Queensland

Hope we smash em
