A few selection headaches this week for Amor. Mells or La Rocca in DM role? Where does Goodwin fit in? Is Euge's injury real and does he need a rest?

With WSW and Brisbane playing the night before AU could be playing for top spot!

The 'Nix did a decent job against City the other day, though I do feel they are far less dangerous on the counter without Krishna (who I believe has another month or so to go on his recovery). Still, any trip to Wellington is a challenging fixture.

Goody should be back which will be a bonus.

Eugene. We are foregoing a goalkeeper in a bid to increase our goal tally.

Seriously though, perhaps Marrone, with Elrich going to the RB position. Not that Marrone has done anything wrong.

Goodwin should replace Cirio.

La Rocca should come onto the bench in place of Dugandzic.

La rocca goes to dm for mells

Thats nothing against mells, its just the weather in wellington rarely promotes good football so a solid defence usually wins points in the cake tin

Yeah, the Rock in for Mells (who looked utterly lost on Saturday - but he was replacing our most consistent and experienced niggler). Goodwin for Cirio. Cirio seems out of sorts and 30 mins might suit him better than 90 at present. His team-mates seemed to forget he was there on Saturday.

Yeah La Rocca to DM but Goody can earn start from the bench. Kamau deserves his spot.

Disagree entirely about Goodwin. He was very good against Victory until he got a knee to the head. I am not sure why he was on the bench against Brisbane because he was not in any plans to actually play. He has certainly earned a starting spit and is in better form than Curio.
I would not be unhappy with La Rocca starting but he has not been playing and was injured as well as suspended.

Keep a confident kamua on the bench and run at defenders late in the game.

Yes he has scored twice in 2 games and done some fancy step overs but they were taps ins/ deflections .

At this stage we will get more from goodwin starting and and kamau can take on the world with 20 minutes to go.

We'll play with 13? fair enough, it sorts out the "who will get left out" conundrum.

Let's play a right winger on the right wing, Goodwin and Cirio are both less effective on the right wing.
