Only 7 rounds in but there's already a slight whiff of desperation, really need the three points this week. Praying Hooper is fit

Must win, really. Sounds like Fenton is more likely to be fit than Hooper.

Will win easy, drew with Victory and didn't lose or concede a goal against Bye FC. We've got this!

Refuse to be a part of the "whiff of desperation" brigade.After 6 rounds and only 5 points out of the 6 will stick with my stupidly optomistc approach thanks.

Brisbane will be on a bit of a high after their comeback (twice 2 goals down...) against City, yet it's the sort of game we must win to have a top 6 chance. Should be a good one.

Well at least good to see some Nix players getting on the score sheet over the weekend.

McCowatt with 1, Piscoppo with 1 and Waine with 2 goals.

MAF would go apeshark, while Customs may not even bat an eyelid over a bag of powder ("it's just a detergent for me socks, guv").

Look forward to getting our first 3 points of the campaign! David Ball to score, that's all I'll say.

I'm in Melbourne this weekend and was wondering if there's a bar where local supporters watch the game?

He certainly would not use guv' as that is a cockney term-- he is a scouser. :)

Is Hooper out for another week?

Waine has done all that can be asked of him to earn a start IMO.

He gave all at weeNix and got injured, looked like the groin, but may be fixed by Saturday.

Rollo tweeted that Waine got subbed on the weekend because of cramp.

Basically, if we can't win this game, we don't have any chances of making top 6.

Why aim for 6th?  To do anything post season you need to have at least one home match

I think keep using him off the bench but up his minutes.  He's very young and inexperienced, we need to tread carefully and manage his development.

Have they announced anything or is that pessimism pretending to be fact again?

From what they've said, Hooper is progressing very slowly - no confirmation either way, though I'd assume he will be out or used sparingly.

don't need him to play a full 90 ever, as long as he scores a goal every 90 minutes then I'm happy.

given his game time has been 25mins as a sub then 45mins starting and he's scored one in those two apperances I don't see how you get the 90mins across 10 games?

Because at the moment, he's averaging 23 minutes per game that he realistically could have played in (that's taking away the game that was on 3-4 days after he signed). And that average could get lower if he doesn't play on Saturday.
