Note that Melbourne City and Macarthur sort-of have a bye this weekend. Their Rd 8 game will be in two weeks time.

Mind the gap guys!

@someguyjc - there is something wrong with the Perth Glory last 5 dots.

As I read it, the last game is on the right and they had a win so it should be a green dot.

Hopefully we play sydney fc before herrington leaves and tale top spot

Would be a greater achievement to wait till Herrington is gone then take it.

We have to be careful though - knowing SFC they have mined the gap.

While they are staring at the gap we'll haramball a last minute winner against them

In all honesty I hope our playing style is evolving towards the productive, forward facing play we have seen in the build up.

We have the skill, quality and vision to bring it off as long as we hold at the back and generate confidence that the front half can attack feeling the back is covered.

From the last couple of games I don't think it is fear making us play backwards though. I think it is a choice to control the flow and push when we choose to. Shame we don't choose to as much as I would like.

Wanderers will be a tough game this week.

Thanks, all fixed.

for me this is another huge game for us to see what we bring with confidence high, praying we get some sort of crowd there at Sydney usually bring fans into the ground , just because most people over here hate Sydney FC hate to say it but its true lol

No requirement - but if you want to add Glory to your profile so we can remember which grubby little club you support when you say "game for us" you just have to click your M icon in the top right of the screen, choose Account Details then scroll down to the drop down list of clubs.

We know anyway if you can't be bothered or don't want to .

I agree RIMB, it would be good if everyone took the time to display their club logo, it just helps to understand the context of the post
