I can't see Lawrie changing team or tactics for Saturday......Boogs may return on the bench for Stringers?
Sydney will be desperate for 3 points on Saturday........if we score first I can see them falling apart, but if they score first it could be like the last game again and they outplay us with confidence sky high.....everyone wants to beat the league leaders!
Did they get any more suspensions at all from Perth?

What kinda dumb thinking is that (their accountant must be a nut job) ............. bums on seats lost because of poor form .............more than likely be more than transfer fee recieved.

Petrovski's Rudan warning
CENTRAL Coast striker Sasho Petrovski believes Sydney FC will be "understaffed" in Saturday's derby blockbuster that will have a huge impact on the make-up of the final four this season.
The in-form striker, who knows the sky-blue cast list better than most after two years as a leading Sydney light, said the departure of Mark Rudan would leave a hole in FC's rearguard - and Petrovski aims to exploit that to the full.
The 31-year-old also hopes his six goals this season - including the winner against Adelaide on Friday - may persuade new national coach Pim Verbeek to replicate his burgeoning Coast partnership with John Aloisi on the national stage for next year's World Cup qualifiers.
Hailing coach Lawrie McKinna's recruitment for this season, Petrovski said the Coast had the experience to cope with a dash for the minor premiership - starting on Saturday at Bluetongue Stadium.
"It's a huge game for us and for them, trying to get into the top four," he said.
"We're trying to get a bigger gap and three points against Sydney will put us in a good position to close out the minor premiership. I think they're going to be understaffed - Rudes has left a big hole.
"It's a bit unusual that a key player like that could be let go before the season ends, especially when they want to get into the top four.
"I don't know who's going to fill in there. Ruben (Zadkovich) is still out and (Robbie) Middleby's still struggling."
A win against Sydney would leave the Mariners needing just seven points from the final four games, three of them against teams almost certainly out of finals contention, to be crowned minor premiers.
Petrovski said the team's run of form was attributable to the experience McKinna had added to the squad.
"We've been on top most of the year and now that we believe in ourselves a little bit more, we're grinding out a few results, we're on a good run," he said.
"Maybe they were lacking a bit of experience, and not just in the front line. There were crucial areas they've recruited in - Greg Owens, myself, John Aloisi - they've done their homework on what went wrong last year. The signings have made a big difference and the boys who have come in have been brilliant.
"I'm playing week in week out and scoring, I'm challenging for the Golden Boot. But there's players capable of scoring in the whole team, everyone's chipped in all season."
Now Petrovski hopes his goals may convince Verbeek to resurrect an international career seemingly permanently mothballed since his second cap in 2006, with the World Cup qualifiers likely to be A-League-centric.
"It would be great to be involved - the quality is there (in the A-League)," he said.
"We'll put our hands up and would love to give it our best and get Australia qualified.
"It's a good incentive to keep going well. Me and Johnny could be a strikeforce he (Verbeek) is looking at.
"There's experience there and we're just starting to hit our straps."
