Kosmina has axed Cam Watson, Fabian Barbiero and Iain Ramsay while Pancho Usucar's hamstring injury will keep him sidelined.

Olyroos Daniel Mullen and Antony Golec will start as the Reds respective right and left backs after returning from the failed Olympic Games campaign while Cassio moves into left midfield.

Zenon Caravella will start on the right side of midfield while Bruce Djite returns to partner van Dijk in a 4-4-2 formation after Kosmina's side lost twice with the 4-2-3-1 experiment.

So who will replace Watson at RB? Its funny that a few people rated Watson last match and he's out!
Great to see Kossie go back to the 4-4-2

The move to Thursday means I can't get there. Just wait for ACL now and then its a long break.

Congrats to SvD on 100 games.

Mullen to play RB which I'm happy about, he's not the best choice for CB but I think he's better than Watson.

Exciting changes, bruce back into the 11 was an absolute must. Probably Lev's last game in CB and unless Malik gets injured or rested maybe his last game for AU? It's a shame coz I think he has yet to show us his a game and he has great distribution.

[Nash]

I'm really excited to see how Cassio and Golec do playing together. Like most I rate Golec and his potential so like to see him playing, and lately Cassio has been getting up forward a lot - hopefully his hunger pays off! I'm going to assume that Rambo is on the bench, surely? I still think he's an impact player, the same goes for Barbs - he comes on all charged up and that's when he generally scores off memory. When he starts I don't think he knows when to peak.

Great to see some changes and our 'squad depth' being taken advantage of. I'm still optimistic for the remainder of the season, surely it'll all fall into place eventually lol.

I expect a tiny crowd - it's a week night, a finals berth is now only a dream, horrible weather today and probably tomorrow too, and a lot of people have training Thursdays.

Question - is Trav likely to play?

[Stuckey]

I think he is

[Adam]

Wonder if Dodd will be given a hard time by the fans?

Agree with Nash, this will be a poor crowd. I reckon around 6,000.

I seriously hope not!
I doubt most people are that retarded but I have been wrong about that before!

[EdDog]

Dodd is a champ and a club legend. Anyone who gives him a hard time is a out-and-out dick.

[Interloper]

Learn to sport, Dodd plays for the other team. Theres plenty of time before and after the match for friendliness.

Agree but that isn't an excuse to not show someone who deserves it respect.
I don't exepect people to cheer if he scores but booing is bad.
I also wonder if he would celebrate scoring against us?
