Maybe Nestory being dropped will cure his attitude problem.
As to the match - we have to take advantage of the surge of emotion that always happens at Coopers in the first 20 minutes when we play the filth. We have to be at least one and preferably two to the good at the 20 minute mark, when we finally tire and the filth come back into the match. If we can then hold whatever lead we have until halftime, we'll be fine.
Conversely, if the filth score first and are ahead at the half, I can't see them being overrun by us. Popovic's teams are usually very dogged in defence and will play 'anti football' if necessary, to keep us out and protect whatever lead they have.
If we win, though, I think we will at least temporarily be second ....? Obviously there will be other results to influence the position at the end of the round, but even being temporarily second after 6 rounds is an indicator of just how well our modestly resourced the team is performing.
