I think Marrone must start given the lack of experienced players available. I'd give Dukuly a rest too, I think he's a bit out of his depth atm and continually throwing him into the deep end would surely destroy his confidence. I'd start Pac on the left because Al Hassan probably isn't fully fit yet while Mo has struggled defensively at times.

I doubt Carl will agree but this is the side I'll go with

Delianov
Marrone Elsey Timotheou Smith
D'Arrigo

Halloran Juric Niyongabire

What happened with Dukuly in the Perth game. I heard the commentary say Carl gave him a mouthful when he was subbed.

Well this game can go one of two ways. We run rings around their ageing defence or we get bullied off the park.

Once again I think it will be a very tough battle in midfield. We just don't have the quality there to compete with A League opposition at present.

I presume Milligan will be back for them after his suspension.

A team with very experienced players versus our inexperience. I'm hoping we play a few of the older boys this game (Marrone et al) to help the younger boys who have failed to deliver away from home.

Got hooked after 30 odd mins and Carl gave him a spray.
