Scheduling last week was crap with a 7.00pm game on Sunday night before a school night all because they didn't want the Nix game to clash with the Rugby test on Saturday night. We got shafted

Most home games are 7.50pm both on Friday and Saturday.

The only exceptions are the home games against R16 Newcastle at Campbelltown which starts at 5.00pm on a Saturday, the R19 game against the Mariners which also starts at 5.00pm on a Sunday and the R23 Nix game which starts at 7.00pm on a Sunday.

WSW to win. Redmayne to keep a clean sheet and get no credit for it.

It's the way it works. Always at fault, never the saviour.

against . Playing a team that is red hot favourite for the wooden spoon and think win is a Wollongong

TV station.

We are playing at home , have a full injury free team backed by a good crowd , a striker hungry for

goals , the team and coach is smarting from last match so all the factors are in our favour. Any win

by a margin of less than two goals should be viewed as a failure.

In the clubs history in the A-league, we've played 114 games (including finals) and won by two goals or more on 22 occassions. Or 19% of the time. http://ultimatealeague.com/club_detail.php?club_id=13&info=fixtures&season=all

It is statistically likely you will be disappointed.

But, we knew that anyway.

If we can't keep a clean sheet against the Mariners it would be a joke - who can we keep a clean sheet

They came back against perth when 3 down, lost to ESFC to the same margin we did and lost by a goal last week.

Where does our superiority come from?

Ok so according to you we are stumblebums.

No, I'm asking you where our superiority has come from compared to the mariners.

I think we have had a modest start, which doesn't fill me with such confidence as to expect a 2 goal win.

3 points, however they come, is all that really matters today. I don't care if it is via a 1-0 win from a deflection following no shots on target.

There are a lot of good sidrs this year (Cahill FC, Perth, ESFC) so we need to e picking up maximums against sides who aren't going to do anything, like CCM.

3 points, however they come, is all that really matters today. I don't care if it is via a 1-0 win from a deflection following no shots on target.

The 1-0 loss the Mariners had to Brisbane was where they had 0 shots on target with 6 blocked shots and 4 off target.

Okon should pick Izzo over Necevski.

Liam Rose has been selected in the squad after U19 National Team duty and was a usual starter for them last year.

Poscelliero is out injured.

Plus they now have the Valentines Day assassin from February Blake Powell.

Riva, I think you've forgotten the fact every team, no matter how poor they are lifts against us and feeds off our unique atmosphere. Expect some World class saves some from their keeper and an absolute arm wrestle for the win.

Today is simple.

Do or do not. There is no try.

We have Cole back so we will win, he might not get game time though

As long as we show up, a result is in the offing. 3 points is achievable and how they come matters less to me at this stage. We've improved every week, question is, 4 rounds in does Nico start?

BTW, with Schweinsteiger getting the treatment at Man U, do we plumb for a Cahill and tidy up the midfield. (I know I'm dreaming)

have won something like two games out of the last about 30 (can't be bothered to check) and have two hopeless goalkeepers.

Monty out - rose in

That's actually a plus for them

Well a team like the Mariners would have to fall in the 19% wouldn't they. You're the stats man , they

have won something like two games out of the last about 30 (can't be bothered to check) and have two hopeless goalkeepers.

This CCM squad is arguably one of the weakest we've faced, so we should beat them, of course.

Thing is, we've only ever scored three or more goals 14 times (12%) in the league. BUT our record is 46.67% Win, 25% Draw and 28.33% Loss (against A-league teams, when playing at home). So, we win plenty, just not by a large margin. We've never been prolific in front of goal, and that's OK, as long as we get the win.

More often than not this season we've been our own worst enemies. And with a goalkeeper who can be consistently inconsistent and a defensive line still learning each others game we've been susceptible to defensive errors.

If we can solidify at the back, and our attack starts to gel, it's an easy win. But we're not the finished article yet (and this is still the best start to a season we've had). This stat just shows that if and when it clicks, we can be a formidable team. But it always takes a while (much to the frustration of our fanbase).

I will be interested to see whether the Smurfs and Vi$ion FC can maintain their strong starts over an entire season. History says they will drop back a bit at some stage, but anything can happen (particularly with the extra concessions granted to Vi$ion - 3 marquees, two dodgy loan players etc.).

Real danger game imo.

They would have seen last week that you can get behind our cb's and they have some pace up front. Will be interesting to see if okon adapts his approach or if he stays with the keep ball stuff.
