Haha :-)   Self preservation comes to mind. It's too easy to cop a ban. Remember your experience on the train platform in Adelaide in S5? That's what live is like in the active bays at spotless all the time. 

I know. I really do. But what will this achieve other than a flat, low morale atmosphere?? Will the club listen? 

Wtf on the line-up on the apps

Majok listed as LB. Cordier on the bench 

One plus is that Bridge is on the bench.

Where are you getting that lineup from?

Perth: Reddy, Lowry, Spira, Djulbic, Davidson, Franjic, Kilkenny, Juande, Ikon, Castro, Keogh.

Looks like their usual 5-4-1 aka 3-4-3.

I can’t see a lineup on FB yet? And hubby hasn’t received a text yet for the lineup??

  Time will tell. 

But a flat, low morale future may well beckon if it's more of the same next season.

The club has been living all of this much more intensely than we have. I hope that FFA and foxsports thoroughly enjoy the family friendly atmosphere at the last four wsw home games. 

Club lineup in:

Vedran, Majok (Left Fullback lol), Tass, Elrich, Russel, O'Doherty, Baccus, Baumjohann, Roly, Kamau, Riera.

Subs: Duke, Cordier, Bridge, Mahazi, Suman.

I wasn't confident before I saw the lineups and now I think we'll be lucky to escape with a 2-0 loss.

If that defensive line is correct we're going to get annihilated by Castro & Ikon.

Majok at left back.

Is Babbel trying to get fired?

If Majok is starting at left back, he'll get sent off before half time.

I was just going to say the same thing.

With due respect though to Marcus, he knows a lot more than we do.

In Babbel we trust??

Surely we don’t have 3 fit defenders? Cordier? Hamill? Can we register Babbel as a injury replacement? Something, surely...

Cordier named on the bench, perhaps it's an error in the team sheet.

Majok with two yellows in the first 30. He cannot tackle. 

The only way I can see this lineup other than listed would be if we're playing Tarek, Tass & Tate as a 3 at the back with Majok & Kamau as wingers or wing-backs, with O'Doherty and Baccus in the midfield and Roly & Baumjohann as a double attacking pivot in front of Riera. A mirror of the Perth formation.

I hope not. 3 at the back was a disaster vs adelaide at home.

Agreed. 4 at the back can't even defend. God help us with 3!

That works when you essentially have the Roos back line from 18 months ago. 2 kids and a spud against Castro? No thanks

Can’t see how it could be anything other than 3 at the back. The question is who is playing wing-back. Kamau surely is one. 

Cant see Majok being an LB, or even the best option at WB. JOD or Roly would be better, at least they can move. Can’t have a plodder at WB.

My first reaction was: men against boys, we will have to score seven goals to win this.

But effectively this is almost the team that won in Adelaide, with Treejack coming in for Hamill, Roly moving to the wing, and a forced reshuffle at the back. But leaving Raul out is quite a statement.

Majok (20 years of age), Tass (still 19), Tate (19), Baccus (20), JoD (21), Kamau (still 23) - that is a very young WSW line up. Maybe MB thought that Cordier (19) is a bit too young?

Majok as LB = the return of Gombau? Surely this has to be a back three, with Majok and Kamau moving back and creating a back five when Glory have the ball? Surely?

Well, it’s gonna be interesting that’s for sure. At least the lineup has us talking about the football again!

It's just to fool Popa , we are playing with 3 defenders, Majok is the extra forward 😊

Well if Kamau is the only one we think could be a genuine WB, maybe he’s just gonna play like a FB?

I'm confident.

Whether we can stop the opposition's 8 to defeat us is another question.

Keanu Baccus used to play left fullback when he was younger. If he plays LB again we could push Majok to LW and Roly inside.
