Pio Hatrick

Season starts here 

Gumby Out!

And other cliches 

(takes rapid antigen test)

result: Cove-id negative

good thing I took those Mak-cinations

only downside was that the nurse didn't give me a Lolley after administering the dose

anyway, the serious question going into the game is ...

...

what "cryptic" message will the Cove use for their banner?

It will be some pretensious Kopite like nonsense

Probably something about loyalty directed at Ninkovic, ignoring the fact that they basically punted him.

In..looking forward to a look inside the new stadium. I walked past it last Saturday evening and looks good.

Tickets seem to be selling ok, doing the usual thing of opening new bays and brining what was sold out previous back.

I noticed that this morning. Don't know why they can't just keep it open until it sells out. 

Important game and we need not to lose with the WC break coming up. Plenty to play for.

I hope for a win......would settle for a draw........ and really hope we bounce back.

We were bad against CCM.

I am scar free having entirely missed the CCM game, not even seen the highlights. 

We got this..the SmogMonster is back...Going in with optimism, 2-1 win.

To be honest, on another day Brisbane would have done us 2-0, we weren’t great that day either, but got away with it.

I'm trying to stay positive......

What you say is true, to a certain extent, and VAR did what it was supposed to do and was on our side and we got a point. 

TBh I think we need the WC break to 1) get everyone fit and 2) do some more work as a team. and work on creating and finishing chances up front.

I'm hoping the CCM game was a hard lesson to be learnt from. There are more positives with this squad than negatives.

Key for us is to score first. If we are chasing the game I am not confident we will keep tight at the back. We score first and I can see our defence keeping Lolley and Mak out of the game.

I'm not sure tickets are selling as well as what has been claimed.

I bought my ticket last night, after hearing that our active away bays were sold out.

The pax number was only 11461.

In the golden days of the derby, pax numbers would be up into the 30 000's at this stage of the week.

I'm not sure this will be a huge crowd tbh.

I am taking a punt we will break 20k, but perhaps not much more.

Golden days eh, October 2013 round 3 was I think the best ever Sydney derby atmosphere. Those were the days eh.

Wow all their anger targeted at Ninko….I hope he scores a goal.

The tifo is some sort of depiction of him and there is writing in Serbian i'm told.

Should be interesting. I'm sure that will give him extra motivation to put on a great performance (as if he needs any more motivation at all after what they did to him).

I'm not going to offer a prediction this week, as the last game I predicted a 3 - 0 win to us and look what happened! 

However, I'm pretty positive we've got this one. Ninko to either score or set one up. Corica to get booted and Australia to cause an upset.
