Shandong forwards licking their lips at facing Elsey tomorrow night

2 weeks ago we were singing his praises as he was immense at the back.

Nithing has changed since apart from having to play out of position and coming on for la rocca cold.

The kid is quality, ill back him

I was also signing his praises as he was playing very well. I'm also realistic to acknowledge a form slump. Definite cause for concern IMO.

Two bad games in a row in the lead up to a massive challenge against some quality forwards - here's hoping he can step up.

[Ghost]

So the team will be

Galekovic
Marrone - McGowan - Elsey - Elrich
Isaias
Mauk - Carrusca
Goodwin - Djite - Cirio

[RedsUnited]

So the team will be

Galekovic

van Dijk to come on in the 80th and score a hattrick.

You actually listen to that awful noise?
Or did you just like the title?

I have a sneaking suspicion he will. The issue here isn't our CB's but our midfield pressure.

Surely SvD will start? We can't have signed him for (potentially) only one game to have him sit on the bench..

[Max Power]

1500 Shandong fans on the way allegedly

[Old Gregg]

Have also seen 3k estimated. There were specially chartered flights I think.

Either way it will be massive and as usual this has not got anywhere near the publicity it deserves. Big away support, continental football, Chinese New Year, Serg van Dijk .. all the planets are aligning

Spread the good word brothers and sisters

[mcjules]

Datong have been giving out free tickets targeted at the chinese community. I believe they were also giving out free t-shirts which I hope, being one of our corporate sponsors, would be in support of AUFC!

[EdDog]

Chance of more away than home supporters.

Bruce will start with Serg coming off the bench. Why else would Bruce have been rested against SFC? Like him or not he's been our first choice striker all season.

every time i read an article on this game it just seems to get even more tougher to win
