Nah see im on the opposite end lol

We have not been convincing at all and would have to put in our best performance to get a win.

Dandy and heidelberg I think should've beaten us.

Think your team has good resilience and dont forget you have a heap of injuries.

Realistically you're going to play better at home as well. South would have been smashed by heidelberg last week.

We've likely lost Lopez which kills us. If you guys get Connor Bell or Jonas Markovski into the starting 11 it will be carnage.

Our 7 rested players that will return are probably going to come back in worse nick after stupidly not being used on Monday.

Listening to the npl vic pod the guys were right, all the pressure is on South, we are playing to rescue the 3 points we tossed in the bin earlier in the week. Winning for us here would be a relief and nothing more, we've crapped the bed big time. Lose this and we are pretty much done.

Losing Javier is huge, but we are still wait and see here... The biggest question mark remains with our defence this season, which will have to be on point tmrw night! Preston will press and press at home as we know.. and our midfield at full stregth should absord most of that theoretically, but any mistakes will be key here for both sides.

The contest will be tight. Nothing like Monday!

For me, the question of Esteban remains in place from Monday, unless he manages to take points! If we dont see passion again, then time is up and i expect his resignation nothing more nothing less!

I think your best performance is equal or better to our best performance this year though...

Thats and I have absolutely no more faith left in our shitty league ... wait to see what the odds are before the match tomorrow night ... the fix is on.

Dont be so quick ... I saw his head hung low when I was leaving on Monday ... that hurt and if there is one thing you cant deny Esteban is his passion ..... Monday was a stupid marketing exercise akin to Aleague blowing 40 million on a website ...

Monday may well have been a one off, and most likely it was (not his fault alone mind you), but in the aftermath its been a week, and no apology came, no remorse or even a message that we will bounce back even! Most supporters wouldve taken it on the chin if that was done and moved on...

His history is why ive given him the leeway i have until this Friday.. they will either show the passion and desire we require and even if we lose we wont have issue with it, or they wont and the criticism is more than warranted!!

I know its harsh, but i believe its better if he has lost the will, to know and deal with it now, than stumble through and come AU champs time be also rans! Neother our ego nor stature will survive that!

I don't think we were convincing but neither were magic so a draw for that would be been fair.

Unfortunately if bilal doesn't fire for magic I don't think they have much else they have going forward

As for tomorrow anyone's game. Just hope for a good atmosphere and football

May the best team win🤝

1-0 Preston

I didn't think the ref can give a red card and penalty to the GK anymore?

Isn't it a yellow and penalty as per the new rules?

It's not like it was violent conduct.

They can but it has to be pretty extreme. I think it's for Suarez Uruguay type offences where it is blatant, unsportsmanlike and deliberate. I think.

Again, who can keep up.
