Ok off the Kiwi land in what I find as the worst fixture on the HAL calendar. 3:30am kick of in London boo!

So it will be interesting if Micky V will reward Tomi with a start after he was the only player who got close to creating something last game.

My hopeful line up is

.........Euge
Malik..Boogs..Golec..Cassio
.........McKain
...Jero........Chelo
Dario................Rambo
.........Tomi

Izzo/Hall
Bowles
Watson
Mabil/JBD

I am happy to see Jero and Dario swap if that would work better? But something needs to change in the midfield otherwise I really feel we're just hoping to make less defensive errors the Nix and win that way.

4:30AM kick off.

Hell.

Its time like this where I'm in two minds as to whether I stay up or go to bed early?

Ye I'd like to see Juric up front with Jeronimo on the right wing. I remember when Jeronimo first played for Adelaide he was on the wing and managed to get into some dangerous positions on many occasions, haven't really seen him there since.

I thought when we signed Carrusca they said he could play either left or central? He can put in a good cross.

Crosses aren't much good when there's nobody strong enough in the air to consistently make use of them. May as well just had Sigmund and Durante the ball

I was thinking to myself last night which defender is going to make way for Cassio, coz i didn't know Fyfe was suspended until now lol guess that answers my question!

I really wish Ferreira would hurry up and return, i miss him!!

Despite Wellington struggling, they will still be tough to beat over there. Not really confident to be honest.

[EdDog]

If we play like last week with no pressure on the ball and invite opposition teams to attack us, we are doing half of the opposition's job for them!!!

We really miss Bruce, Cassio and Ferreira. With Serj and Caravella gone, so is our "squad depth".

We really need a win here to arrest the slide. We should not be relinquishing 4th spot, although with 6 games still to go, it's a real possibility.

[Old Gregg]

Keep the faith lads. A bit of a tweak here & there, a big kick up the arse, and we'll be right.

---------------Euge------------
Malik---Boogaard--Golec--Cassio
-------------McKain------------
Jerry---Dario---Carrusca--Ramsay
--------------Juric-------------

EDIT: Forgot about UUUURIC! Changed to put him up front, Jerry on the wing.

Key to this game is McKain holding the fort and Dario / Chelo stepping it up and showing what they can do.

[ADEL-GOONERS]

i wonder what group of players will turn up this week ,the ones that are going to try , or the ones that will wait untill the last 15 mins before they get themselves in gear

[Max Power]

Need 3 points and a Victory/CCM Draw.

We're playing 500 the night before so there is no going to bed early for me.
