In my opinion ,the areas that are in need of improvement are:
1. A strong defensive midfielder.Against teams like WSW we can struggle with their size and strength.
can't afford that at the moment that would be pulling away money when we already have the best DM in the league as well as good back up in Miller, Lustica and Lamba who can play there
2.A striker to get through tight defences now that Berisha has gone.None of the existing strikers have the ability of Berisha to change tight games.Will we still be able to win close games without Berisha?
probably the main focus, but maybe we are thinking to specifically when replacing Berisha? maybe we don't need to get a no. 9 but a fast powerful winger who scores a ton
3.Backup for Broich.We have many neat ball players in midfield,but none to match the flair of Broich.If he gets injured it will be tough. Again this would be nice but with Brattan and Mckay also contributing to creative play it isn't really as needed as we think it is
4.we won last year despite a height disadvantage.This year most teams have strengthened in attack.So I expect us to be more vulnerable to headers.
What is it with people and height? We were in the top three for clearances and headers in the A-league despite us being one of the shortest teams in the league. WSW are by far the tallest team in the league and didn't score a header until the ACL
5.Hopefully the wingbacks will step up.But Steff is a year older and you would think that Franjic is better than the existing Rightback options.
This is true, especially with hingert being injured a lot. Franjic is going to be a major loss going forward, hingert doesn't seem to grasp how to contribute going forward like Ivan did
So compared to last season the team will need to step up to a higher level to compensate for losses of Berisha and Franjic ,expected improvements in all opposition teams and ACL commitments.
It will be tough and some extra quality is clearly needed.

Asked the club on FB, said nothing is imminent. So I'd say wat we have is what we've got. Maybe January we'll strengthen before acl.

Would they admit that a signing was close though?

They're notoriously tight-lipped with most news. Frustrating as heck!

The way it should be I think.

Two days before departing the country, still no sign of jerseys ;_;

I would like any of the three, but I don't see any of them happening unfortunately.

Got mine this morning, it's pretty good.
The badge is stitched on, the other logos are pressed on and feels smooth.

Also we beat Palm Beach the other night 9 nill, Broich with 4, 2 each from Henrique and Miller, and lucky last Lustica. Not sure what the lineup was.

Got my membership card in the mail today... Classy packaging.
Made me feel like I'd won something I'd payed hundreds of dollars for!

Is the game going to be broadcast in anyway? is there going to be stream?

Predictions for tomorrow night? I'm gonna go with 2-1 to us.
