Re: The Road to Russia 2018
I agree Jedinak should be moved to CB. IMO he's just not got the engine to offer enough in midfield these days. Especially as the centre of midfield is such a hotly contested area. Milligan played CB against Iraq I seem to recall. I think switching them over would be useful. Otherwise Jeggo has been starting consistently at DM for Sturm Graz. I think he could be offered a chance. I think given the club season is winding up it might have been useful to organise a friendly before this match to offer players a chance to stake their claim more.
Time to Djbate!

Good Luck Dylan McGowan!
Bad luck for McGree but his time will come.

Re: The Road to Russia 2018
Jedinak isn't the man we need at DM in a game where we need to score and dominate. I'd like to see Mooy, Irvine and Rogic taking up the midfield however I can see Ange putting Mile in there to provide cover the back 4 doesn't need.

I can see this being a frustrating game.
Saudis will defend for their lives. A point here will be golden for them.
We need to come out firing in the first half and score an early one to open up the game.

Re: The Road to Russia 2018
What is ticket sales looking like ?
I noticed val was ragging on people complaining on radio and forums about football at adelaide oval . I tend to agree with him .
IMO adelaide has always had great attendances for the Roos when you consider the opponent and our popular vs Melbourne and Sydney for big games and still not getting a substantial crowd , however I feel the one time we draw a poor crowd that will be the last of it

Re: The Road to Russia 2018
True. Especially compared to Sydney. There crowds are inconsistent at best and they continue to get games. Obviously their government bidding for games regularly helps.

That's on par with anything Melbourne or Sydney would dish up I feel.
I think Japan is the only nation in Asia we would sell out at adelaide oval .

Re: The Road to Russia 2018
For a game I haven't seen promoted anywhere but through the Socceroos' social media, I think 40k is the best we can hope for.
Re: The Road to Russia 2018
So category C is sold out and B is down to single seats only.
Category A have a heap left though.

40K would be a great turnout for Adelaide on a Thursday night. Stacks of people at the fan day this afternoon which was good to see
