Brisbane Roar vs Western Sydney Wanderers 8/03/2019 6:50PM

Should win + we have led them 2-0 twice this season and let them back into the game. If the same happens again we haven't progressed much. WSW 2-0. A loss would be a retrograde step for the team imho.

Someone will have to Wenzell-Halls and Mikkelson as they have speed.

The King speaks like a coach already

MB not happy that a club that promotes youth players is punished by losing them to the NT. GG might get a run in Brisbane as DM, gaffer seems to be happy with what he's been seeing in training so far. And if I understood him correctly what he said towards the end of the interview, there won't be "massive" squad changes after this season, but "we have to do something, and we will do something".

u23s will only miss Rd22 which is vs Nix away.

This team right here we dropped 4 points. #mentality we must win and we will win

The Roar website "A-League Experts" all tipping Brisbane I see.

Their tipping has been woeful lately.

However, Tongyik has a point to prove and will be partnered with Pepper most likely.

I hope Tongyik has a blinder tbh (but we still win). The kid was treated terribly by us, are as a couple of others currently.

I hope that Roar get Peppered and Tongyiked then. Yeboah, Duke, Riera, Roly, Treejack, Bridge - that would be quite an attacking lineup.

Wash your mouth out or moreso your typing fingers with soap!

What's the starting XI

.....................Vedran

Russell...Hamill...Tass/GG....Elrich

...........Baccus....GG/Tass/Mahazi

Kamau or Duke....ABJ.........Roly

......................Riera

Bench:

Greenwood (GK), Bridge, Duke/Yeboah, Cordier, Mahazi/GG

Unless Babbel adds players to the squad.

Dare I say 'Battle for wooden spoon runners up'?  Seriously though - am looking forward to this game.  Should give an indication of if we have really improved in the past few rounds or just been lucky.

              Starting Lineup

                     Vedran

Russell...Hamill...Tass....Elrich.....

...........Baccus......Giancarlo.......

.......Duke.........ABJ...........Roly......

......................Riera.....................

3-1 win for the boys. 

Riera 1-0

Baumjohhan 2-0

Wenzel Halls - 2-1

Duke 3-1

No mention of Sotirio in the squad or on injured list?

I could have sworn this game was tomorrow night...shows how switched on i am with games at the min.

Pre season feel already really...neither side have anything but pride left to play for really.

Expecting an open game with goals and could go either way. Would be surprised if it is a draw this time. May as well both try and put on a show.

Final away game up at CCM should be party time  / designated fancy dress or some such shyte.

Still carrying an injury he picked up after the CCM game, he is training, and should be back next week.

As long as Duke plays 45 mins confident we will win, he is our main man at the moment.

He just drives the energy up and forces the rest to follow his lead, great enthusiasm, oh and another Elrich rocket winging in as well would be nice.

Yeboah off the bench should be good for another Lang Park goal as well.

Absolutely frothing at the idea of Duke, ABJ and Yeboah all feeding into Riera.

Surely Duke gets his first start today.

Excited to see what Italy has done for GG too.

What do we think, 5 goals at least in this match?  Maybe 3-2 Wanderers?

The way these two teams are playing it could be a 5-0 win, a 0-5 loss and every result in between.

Now that I've said that expect a dour 0-0 draw...

I want to see us smack 4. Babbel is saying there won’t be wholesale changes this off season, well then prove you have the right core by smashing an out of form team

i am disgusted we are wearing the red and white jersey today, duke is starting though

Looks like 3 at the back to me with Kamau and Majok as wingbacks 

AB10 not in squad at all
