They will probably have too much firepower for us. Important we stay in the game and dont get blown away early. I dont expect enormous improvement from Juach in 1 week.

Maybe not in fitness but stretches the centre halfs enough to get Yoo and Yuki wide and in some space. I agree, the longer we stay in the game the more they will get frustrated. Oakleigh doesn't seem to like teams that run at them..

We go with an unchanged Starting XI on Friday night

Charlston
Kkwomo
Jankovic
Ramazani
Painter-Andrews
Pasquali
Giannakopoulos
Mikkola
Yoo
Uchida
Juach

Bench - Cocks, Retre, Swibel, Van Riet

Oakleigh will hit us on the right hand side to put pressure on Painter-Andrews to make unnecessary errors. This is one match where we cannot make charity substitutions. Retre, Swibel and Cocks will need to come on at some point for fresh legs and maintain the intensity.

Id like retre for extra strength imagination and some bite here

I like Ramazani central because he is quick as well. Jankovic and Eliopoulos are both slow.

Jankovic needs to find his voice again like the last few weeks. If he could cut those stupid mistakes out i would have more confidence in him. Charlston has stepped up big time and honestly if Javi hangs it up end of year I wouldn't mind giving him the gig full time

Lampard was hoping to be ready for Adelaide game he said.

I hear Elliopoulos could start which we could then move Ramazani to the right back position

Given Eliopoulos has not played in 2 months, not sure it would wise to start him. I would bring on Eliopoulos in the second half, and get him ready for the Adelaide United match. In that substitution, you take Painter-Andrews off, move Ramazani to Right Back, and you end up with a Nkwomo, Jankovic, Eliopoulos and Ramazani back line. That's a pretty good back line.

I think having Ramazani next to Jankovic provides a different dimension to the defence. As you mentioned, Ramazani is quicker and can compensate for Jankovic's slowness. It reduces one of our defensive weaknesses.
 
Will be interesting next few weeks to see how the squad starts to shape itself. I do believe we will make the 6 and am feeling confident against Adelaide. As for Oakleigh why can't we win we should be aiming to win every game left now. I will take 2-1 Friday night

Maybe I am too biased, but I think we have a fighting chance against Oakleigh. The squad is much stronger than it was prior to the transfer window. We pushed Preston last week and should have scored.

I am also realistic to know that the smaller pitch at Oakleigh does not suit us. We get an early goal and they will open up.

I am more confident about Oakleigh rather than Adelaide.
