Newcastle Jets vs Western Sydney Wanderers 8/1/2021 7:05PM

I wonder what type of reception Ibini and CR get 

expecting  a win here so we can close the gap on the powerhouse mariners! 

Must win game

If the Jets are in disarray, there are no excuses (including Chris Beath, VAR and penalties)

In

I sort of expect the Jets stand in coach will know enough about CR's tactics from his stint at the Jets to set up the Jets to nullify what we try to do. 0-0 unless the Jets jag a goal.

Defensively Jets still are quiet stacked with Topor, Boogard in centre defense and Duncan as the keeper, the midfield still has Urgakovic its their attack that is quiet blunt despite O'Donovan in the team. We should be expected to get a result but it all depends if our attackers can break open the defence as we did against Macarthur and actually score this time *****

You joining team negative too then

It's going to be Eetswa we will smash them, they are crap 

Unfortunately the results we should get and what we actually end up getting are two different things these days so I have zero confidence in making a prediction.

I will say though, this is an absolute banana skin game if ever I’ve seen one...

You all sound like Everton supporters!

The game against Campbelltown should have been the most un-losable this season. But the team said "hold my beer". So I think that fans are right to be a bit nervous.

It turns out you also can’t go to the A-League (as well as the cricket) if you’re from some of the identified NSW hot-spots.

This was posted earlier this afternoon by the management of the Newcastle stadium, where the Newcastle Jets will face the Western Sydney Wanderers in an A-League round two match on Friday:

Yeah I’m up at Nelson bay on the news which is Newcastle feed it showed images of past wsw away game and said the list of hotspot surburbs would be banned

anyone who bought tickets would get refund though

Not at all. Just a concern about this match. I'm hopeful about the future but not getting carried away. I'm certainly not predicting we will thump anyone (at this stage anyway).

 Auburn, Birrong, Belmore, Berala, Lidcombe, Potts Hill, Regents Park, Rookwood and Wentworthville. Just in case you live around those sreas and bought tix

The residents of Rookwood have a bit more to worry about than sports matches.

Masks will have to be worn by those attending

If he can't bring a strategy that hasnt been seen by the stand in we have the wrong coach. The flip side of that is Carl should be well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of that back line.

This should be 2-0 win against a team that is surely favourites for the spoon. If we fall at this VERY low hurdle then I'll be very disappointed

Have I missed something?! Should I be worried? I've always believed they no longer have anything to worry about!

The health department said they had grave concerns for the residents of Rookwood.....

Bit late to train it perhaps? 9pm finish...

Hey all, i was thinking of Getting up to Newcastle tomorrow night but I am in Westmead, same postcode as Wentworthville. Is it worth going there and will I be let in? Anyone with any information, I would appreciate it very much. 
cheers

My feeling at the moment is...if unsure..any uncertainty at all...don't travel.

Thanks Smoggy. I am thinking thats the right decision, unless told otherwise.

I agree with Smoggy but if your postcode or suburb is not mentioned, you should be ok.

In saying that, don't take the risk. Keep an eye out tomorrow for any updates.

I was originally planning to go to this game but then changed my mind a few weeks ago.

Team lineups are announced:

Newcastle Jets squad: 
1.Lewis ITALIANO (gk), 3.Jason HOFFMAN, 4.Nigel BOOGAARD, 6.Steven UGARKOVIC, 9.Roy O’DONOVAN, 11.Ramy NAJJARINE , 13.Maki PETRATOS, 14.Ali ABBAS, 15.Tete YENGI, 18.Jack ARMSON, 17.Valentino YUEL, 19.Kosta PETRATOS, 22.Lachlan JACKSON, 23.Jack DUNCAN (gk), 24.Connor O’TOOLE, 25.Jack SIMMONS, 27.Lucas MAURAGIS, 28.Blake ARCHBOLD , 32.Angus THURGATE, 44.Nikolai TOPOR-STANLEY
**2-4 to be omitted** 

Ins: 4.Nigel BOOGAARD (return from suspension), 25.Jack SIMMONS (promoted)

Outs: Nil

Unavailable: 2.John KOUTROUMBIS (ankle – 2 weeks), 5.Benjamin KANTAROVSKI (calf – 2 weeks) 

Western Sydney Wanderers FC squad:
2.Ziggy GORDON, 4.Dylan McGowan (c), 5.Daniel GEORGIEVSKI, 6.Tass MOURDOUKOUTAS, 7.Bruce KAMAU, 8.Jordan O’DOHERTY, 9.Bernie IBINI, 10.Simon COX, 11.Kwame YEBOAH, 13.Tate RUSSELL, 14.James TROISI, 17.Keanu BACCUS, 18.Graham DORRNAS, 23.Kosta GROZOS, 27.Nicolai MULLER, 30.Daniel MARGUSH (gk), 33.Mark NATTA, 34.Patrick ZIEGLER, 39.Thomas AQUILINA, 50.Oliver KALAC (gk)

Ins: 7.Bruce Kamau (promoted), 33.Mark NATTA (promoted)

Outs: Nil

Unavailable: Nil

This is a MUST WIN for the squad, no excuses. They are playing a club that is in shambles on and off the field so that should give them a bit of confidence into this game. If there's one person that should fire up in this game, it should be Ibini and I would love to see him smash one in the back of the net. 

I would like to see the squad win by 2 goals (or more) but...a win in general would be delightful. 

For those travelling to the game, stay safe.

If westwead post code is the same as Wenty then you wont be allowed to enter the ground also you might get a fine.

Other suburbs with Postcode 2145

South Wentworthville, Greystanes, Girraween, Pemulway, Westmead, Mays Hill, Pendle Hill, Constitution Hill.

I grew up there but haven't lived there for years. 

NSW Health only lists suburbs not postcodes

Going to say this will be a draw - either 0-0 or 1-1. I'd like to get on the Eetswa train, but I haven't seen enough of what the team can do frankly. On paper the team look strong, but we all know that means.
