I think you are all getting way ahead of yourselves... Gotta win tonight first.

So far this year we have lost the OFC final, thrown away the chance to defend the Dockerty Cup, thrown away the Premiership, probably thrown away the guarantee of a home GF ...... Its not looking good.

Some of our players will be looking to impress tonight but on paper the Adelaide lineup looks very strong, perhaps the strongest of any A league team in the round of 32.

Agree. If some of our players have plans to play in the A League, then these are the matches that they need to play well and impress.

The odds are against us. Football logic dictates this should be a tough match but Adelaide has the quality to prevail. This will be the last hard hit out for Adelaide United before its AFC Champions League match at Hindmarsh Stadium next week.

If there ever was a time to defeat Adelaide United, tonight is that time as they are still in preseason mode. We need our defence to absorb an enormous amount of pressure and our midfield needs to provide sufficient coverage to the defensive line. Players such as Uchida and Yoo need to create real headaches for the Adelaide defence, and Juach must score.

A win tonight would be one for the ages, but a lot needs to go our way for it to happen.
 
Starting XI is

Charlston
Giannakopoulos
Ramazani
Jankovic
Painter-Andrews
Pasquali
Retre
Uchida
Yoo
Cocks
Juach

Bench - Swibel, Nkwomo, Skapoulas, Van Riet
