Considering the weather is torrential rain like the last time we played the Roar...

[mack]

We haven't beaten them in 5 games. 7 if you include the two FFA Cup losses.

Last win was WSW 2, Roar 0 with Bernie Ibini and Bruce Kamau scoring almost 3 years ago back on the 30th of May 2021.

[BoyFromTheWest]

They seem to really lift against us - or we slump to below the level they are playing. I couldn't remember the last time we won.

[Sithslayer1991]

We slump every time we play them. However this is  a must win game. We only need 2 wins from the remaining 4 matches, This and the City game are must win games.

[WSWJACK]

nothing less a win demanded here, got to maintain gap from 7 & 8 position, yes do not lose understand THAT, but............. A WIN IS A MUST HERE.

[Potkorok]

Nah Wanderers way would be to lose this one, somehow snag a win in the derby, lose to City then somehow beat Victory but then still get bundled out first week of the finals

The way I see this, we have a 4pt lead over City. They have 3 very winnable games out of 4 remaining. Thats probably 9 points for them, but that 4th game is a derby so who knows what happens. Also one of those games is against us, basically making it a 6 point game in the race to the finals.

Means we need at LEAST 2 wins and a draw. Brisbane absolutely has to be one of those scalps. Sydney needs to be the other, simply because my ego cant take losing to that lot again.

Hilariously, if results go our way we could easily finish 3rd. City beating Victory would be key there

[iamwesternsydney]

However, if Victory beat City and we win it also helps with a 7 point gap when we beat Brisbance meaning only need to draw against city in that game

[Davo]

Technically if we win our remaining games, the Nix lose all their games, CCM beat the Nix but lose the rest, Victory beat the Nix but lose the rest, Sydney lose against us, and Macarthur beat Sydney and the Nix but lose the rest, then we win the Premiers Plate by being level on points with CCM and the Nix, but having won more games than the Nix and would need a better GD than CCM.

Just booking my WSW 2024 Premiers tattoo now.

Rudan is furiously taking notes and will become the tactical genius he knows he is.

Lmao the only team I am confident of beating from the top 6 is Macarthur. In fact I am more confident of us beating Macarthur again than us beating Brisbane on Friday.

[BoyFromTheWest]

I'm also looking at Macarthur - they are also vulnerable to not making the 6. A few losses and they may not be there - a couple of tough games.

[Paul01]

Just checked a reliable App for the centre referee. This time we Daniel Elder.

King is doing the Mariners v Nix game.

And Faghani has got... the Melbourne Derby

[sonar]

Must win.

Lose or draw and season is done I think.

 

[jockman]

Weather looking pretty grim this afternoon into the evening.. wonder if game will go ahead ?

[Sime11]

intending to go tonight - weather permitting if this goes ahead

if we cant win tonight - we arent doing anything should we make finals

[Davo]

Can't see why they'd cancel it. There's no forecast for lightning and the field drains pretty well as I've never seen it get waterlogged since the rebuild.

There was that time where it was cancelled not because of Stadium drainage but because the river was overflowing there was nowhere for the water to go.

[SBW]

Rain can't be as bad as the torrential rain we had that one night in Gosford

Haliti in the rain 

[mack]

It depends on what happens to the water table of the river.

We had a W-League game postponed because of rain, but that was in Feb 2022 where it rained literally the entire month, the river flooded and covered all the wharves and that museum construction site.

[WSWJACK]

ah that "match" v Cruz Azul now that was wet 

[VedranRozic]

Parra river has now flooded. Wharves flooded but Powerhouse Museum still untouched according to SMH around 3pm.

[Sithslayer1991]

Sooo anyone want to change the sport to water polo???

[Edinburgh]

Just arrived at the gate.

You won't be surprised to hear that I've seen as many police as patrons so far.

Lineup is in:

Borello, Brook, Milanovic, Priestman, Kittel, Hendrix, Clisby, Marcelo, Beadling, Simmons, Thomas

Subs: Cleur, Pierias, Antonsson, Ninkovic, Russel, Bonetig, Margush

 

[VedranRozic]

I think we will set the record the lowest ever Wanderers crowd tonight. I doubt there is more than 500 people here with 25 minutes to go before kick off.
