+1 Hope so.
3rd and 4th place at the moment but its only a third of the way into the season so far.

You would expect both of them to easily keep their starting spot if they got promoted too.
The championship is always so exciting when theres Aussies involved :d

But Cisak hasn't been injured for quite awhile now. Bouzanis is keeping him out on form

I hesitate to presume that's because Turkey's league, like a few in Europe, have 'historically' had a big gulf between their 'Top 3' or 'Istanbul Clubs' - Galatasaray, Besiktas and Fenerbahce not unlike the gap between Celtic and Rangers and the rest of the SPL, back in the day, or what not - Even at the top with Barca and Madrid these days in la liga. Certainly, in terms of reputation and European success, that's the case. Trabzonspor is the one club I can see who've won a few titles amongst their domination and still challenges somewhat, but the rest all fight for the rest, pretty much - including the clubs all our Aussies have been at, Jedinak, Troisi, Carle, Djite and the lot of them. Only Gulum is at Besiktas now, but not sure how he's going.

So what I'm trying to say is, like Celtic the other day, and like Gala and co in the CL historically - You can inter-change the big clubs of Europe and they play in their own league called 'The Champions League' but domestically they more often than not dominate their competition rivals. But you could take Gala, Besiktas or Fener and put them in the Bundesliga and they could compete quite well. Just as you could take Celtic and Rangers (back in the day) and put them in the EPL, as some proposed, and they would be quite competitive mid-table clubs (Probably lower-mid table now, as the EPL has strengthened).

There was action overnight for the Aussies abroad in Korea and Europe http://osaussies.com/wednesday-wrap-4/

Haha great timing mate. Just posted it ;)

Babalj needs to get the hell off that bench.


Do you know if McKay is being played in central midfield on on the left VOR?

I think it'll be a while before Babalj nails down a spot. Teams in Europe don't play youngsters as much as they used to. Players need to do their 'apprenticeships' these days. Which sucks but what can you do.

I'll ask him and get back to you asap

Didn't realise this earlier but Bouzanis is in the League 1 team of the week.

Friday's action from the Aussies abroad http://osaussies.com/friday-wrap-4/

Go Utrecht! Shame about Zullo though.

zullo will come good.

how did the boys go?

lively performance from both aussies. good on juric getting a run too

Some of these long range shots Oar and Sarota are taking deserve to go in! I've seen them hit so many this season and they just miss by inches. I want one of them to go in damn it!

Don't worry, they're saving them for the Socceroos ;)

Oar, Sarota and of course Jedinak are all capable of longer range shots. Need to see more of it in the national team.

does anyone know of any video highlights from utrecht v den haag last week where oar and sarota got both assists?

also, chris herd has been recalled to the villa team for the game today against norwich

Holman and Herd will start against Norwich.

It's probably worth subscribing to that channel. Hopefully he/she uploads highlights every week.

nice to see herd make a comeback from injury. lets hope he has a long successful injury free run.

Herd and Holman both starting. I'll keep an eye on them.

Herd is actually playing CB. Interesting.

Decent shooting chance for Holman on the edge of the area but he scuffs the effort.

Very nice assist from Holman. Lovely first time cross to Benteke who slots it.

Herd playing CB...?
