That’s the spirit 

The players obviously have the same philosophy mind..

If we win then I'm happy because my team won. If we get tonked 7-0 I don't enjoy it, but at least it's interesting.

Now that I've said all that it'll be a dour 0-0 draw with no shots on target.

If it was a dour 0-0 draw I would be bloody ecstatic 🥱😋

Considering Perth have kept 2 clean sheets all season and we've kept 3 in our last 16 games, 0-0 would be a surprise.

I’m going for an entertaining 7 - 6 win for Perth. 
 

There just might be more goal (points) than some NRL games this weekend at this one.

Hoping the boys put on a performance for the tour of duty.  With all the goals flying in recently I'm gonna be optimistic and say 4-3 for Wanderers (I'm going to regret this prediction).

4 - 0 loss

Geez if we get thumped 4 nil I reckon the old Geezer would sell us for 50 cents , Perth went for a dollar !!

Thats probably the worst result we could have. Rude Boy keeps his job with a draw and we don't get 3 points. I hope we win and the Rude Boy turns it round but, if not and I hate to say it but a loss might make Ledderer pull the trigger 

Which he should have done as soon as the 5th hit the back of the net let alone the 7th

Buck stops with Rudan, but I cannot think of one consistent performer on the pitch this season. 

Whoever gets a start against Perth, it is a flip of a coin if they play well or not. 

Will we see a reaction after the humiliating loss to City?

I fear that there are no true characters in the dressing room to carry this team out of this slump. 

If rumours of Rudan's clash with Lawrence Thomas is true, then **** me!

Sir Alex Ferguson gave Manchester United's world class players all the hair-dryer treatment. 

Instead of having a sook, they went out on game day and proved him wrong. Never did they do what WSW did vs City. Tools down and didn't even try. 

I get it, Rudan out. It is done. I can't see him winning over the dressing room. 

Next coach comes in, and he'll need to deal with a squad of mediocre under-achievers.

2-0 loss away to Perth me thinks. 

This. 100% this. Can you imagine Keane or Ince, Beckham, Neville or any of those lot rolling over and getting smashed repeatedly without breaking a sweat. Rudan has lost the changing room, that is for certain. But there are no leaders in this squad. Nobody to drag them into battle and demand a high standard.

Marcelo tries to be that role. If he was on the pitch against City we probably get beat 4-0 rather than 7 lol

I was coming on here to say the exact same thing ... he fights, in a way the other players proved they don't on Tuesday night. He hasn't always been perfect in his performances this season, but I hope he gets another year because he embodies the type of attitude we need to build.

"on form".. our form is 4-1, 3-1 and 7-0 lol.

That form would be lucky to beat an NPL Darwin team.

The hungover Poms up there would towel us up presently.

We get shots on target....just that they are straight at the keeper's midrift....

I do. If we lose then we are one step closer to seeing the last of Rudan. 

Based on the Smurfs loss we can jump into 5th if we beat Perth by at least 10 goals.

Lets goooooooo!

WSW Lineup: Thomas, Clisby, Marcelo, Bonetig, Simmons, Hendrix, Priestman, Kittel, Ninkovic, Antonsson, Borrello

Subs: Milanovic, Beadling, Brook, Scicluna, Badolato, Margush, Pierias, Blair (replaced Badolato).

Perth Lineup: Sail, Colakovski, Amini, Williams, Warland, Rawlins, Colli, Taggart, Bennie, Majekodunmi, Lachman

Subs: Cook, Koutroumbis, Muir, Ostler, Gorman, Anasmo, Tsukamoto

Cleur and Beadling back in Sydney, saw them training today with Yuel and Russell.

Beadling get an early plane to Perth this morning?

Kittel and NINKOVIC starting. 

WOW NINKOVIC. 

He sits on the bench most weeks for 90 minutes.

This might be the first time in our entire existence I've looked at a prematch team sheet and nfi what positional line up the coach is going for.

This lacks an enormous amount of mobility. All the running will need to be done by Oscar and Brandon...

Feels like a 4-2-2-2 formation.

 

If Ninkovic plays LW then it could be a 4-2-3-1 with Antonsson or Borrello at RW. Could also be Ninkovic at attacking mid with Kittel/Priestman on the wing.

Or a 5 at the back with wing-backs.

Cant wait to see another weekend night get ruined.

Badolato drops out, replaced by Blair.

Every week we get hacked to bits in the first 10 mins and the ref never gives out a card.

Simmons first foul in the second minute, straight into the book.

Simmons hasn't learned his lessons not to dive in when he isn't going to win the ball.

Clear yellow, but most weeks the refs let it go because “it’s too early”.
