FFS 2-0 now awful keeping

You’d think with a name like Glover he’d be a brilliant goalkeeper, but he seems fixed on dispelling the notion of nominative determinism.
Must now win at home to Wellington on Monday or rely on unlikely permutations.

They were poor in the first AFC game which cost them qualification, hopefully they'll have the travel miles out of their legs for the last game.You’d think with a name like Glover he’d be a brilliant goalkeeper, but he seems fixed on dispelling the notion of nominative determinism.

A mid-table game against a side with an awful goal difference at home where a win wins the league.
MC would have been happy with that early season after the slow start....just don't do a typical City and all will be well.
KO is 10.05am on 09/05 here in the UK should anyone fancy watching.
Okay I had some time to process the last 18 hours or so and have resolved myself to the fact that regardless of how easy a task for us we will find a way to complicate it.
We were given arguably the easiest possible group ever given to an A League team, that is no J League, K League (we had a current mid table Korean div 2) no Chinese super League and being split east/west we were also protected from the strong Gulf state teams. And what do we do, we fail to get out of the group and down to 2 goals. Okay there was some extraordinary circumstances but still we should have progressed. Now I'm not being stiffny nosed at the Philippines or Thais but still a fact is a fact.
Then after playing 6 games in 19 days in 30 plus degree heat 80% plus humidity almost zero squad rotation we play our 7th in 23 with basically the same blokes against a youth team in Perth. I am in no way being disrespectful to Perth but they are bang last for a reason and we somehow loose 2:0.
So now it comes down to last game Monday and again we couldn't ask for an easier calculation. Victory play Saturday night, Western play Sunday and we of course play Monday knowing exactly what is required. And once again I wouldn't be surprised if we find a way to cock it up.
Obviously my rant shadows into insignificance in comparison to what you all experienced a few hours later, but losing at any level sucks balls.

Western have lost and are now out of it, but Victory currently sit at the top with a two point lead, having fulfilled their fixtures, which means City know that only a win against Wellington will suffice. Beat them ‘away‘ 0 v 6 at the start of April, so what could possibly go wrong tomorrow?…
Yep what could go wrong?
Look if we can't beat the Nix tomorrow then we don't deserve the plate simples.
The only thing that really will wind up many is that then would make Victory premiers.
So if anything our true Heartness should get us over the line and basically win entirely driven by spite.
Anyway see what happens tomorrow night.
