Western Sydney Wanderers vs Central Coast Mariners 06/01/2024 5:30PM

Contrast to last weeks game where we faced a team out of form, mariners are back on the rise, this will be a good stern test for the defence. 

I wonder if Brillante returns?

The next 2 weeks will tell us how good we are

Corresponding game last season, we lost 0-3 at home. All their goalscorers from that game are gone (Silvera and Ruhs). Ex WSW players were Silvera, Aquilina and Triantis!

The only players left from that game's starting line-up at CCM are Tulio, Nisbet, Farrell, Balard, Kaltak and Vukovic.

Milarnovic vs Roux/Doka will be worked on by the CCM coach. 

Farrell vs Brook will be an interesting match up. Could Rudan opt for going through Kaltak and Hall? 

Would imagine Kaltak marking Marcelo at corners, worth the entry fee alone, that's going to be some contest.

We seem to be doing well without me able to attend or even watch....

I expect the trend to continue...and then revert to shite when I am back in town later this month.

I feel like it'll be a draw. 

I think it might be a draw too.

I think the Mariners would be up for it big time considering its Marco Tulio's last game for the club.

Draw  $3.80

Any chance of extending your travel a bit? Maybe to June?

If we can win on Saturday we can jump Wellington , we would have same wins better goal difference.

if Victory beat Perth they go top of league if Victory draw or lose we are top of league

Does Head-to-Head count in the new era?

Maybe if teams are equal on wins and goal difference

To straight forward for WSW - we will lose to make it more difficult. We never win when they're is the possibility of going top.

If your wrong and the team wins and Melb Victory draw with Perth, we would be top having lost to both the teams in second and third on the APL Men's Ladder. That would be peak A-League 

I’m confident of a win here, we’re battling well despite the speed bumps, it’s going to click again soon maybe today  

Eetswa, it will be

Do you mean Priestman, Hendrix and Brillante will tactically foul Nisbet in our half to suffocate Tulio, Kuol and Torres?

2 of them played for Easts so would know how to do do that without getting a yellow.

You only avoid the yellow if you are wearing a blue shirt.

Brilliante and O'Neill were experts at the professional foul in their half and getting away with no yellows. Does he still have it?

Younis dropped from todays squad to make way for Brillante to return to starting line up

Don't you guys share a county border?

Why did I think the game started at 5? As I was pulling up, thought it was strange I hadn’t received the text at 4pm with the line up. Also got a paid parking spot really easy. Walking to the gate, it seemed quiet, then I see the gates aren’t open yet 

Interesting starting side....

WSW Lineup: Margush, Clisby, Marcelo, Bonetig, Simmons, Hendrix, Brillante, Badolato, Milanovic, Antonsson

Subs: Pantzaolpoulous, Cleur, Pierias, Ninkovic, Russell, Brook, Priestman

CCM Lineup: Vukovic, Kaltak, Nisbet, Balard, Kuol, Tulio, Torres, Roux, Farrell, Hall, Tapp

Subs: Warshawsky, Doka, Theoharous, Reec, Wilson, Paull, Di Pizio

I hope Gibson stands tall

Gibson out, Margush in
