Brandon Borrello

Not only have the Auckland team never conceded five, when was the last time the Wanderers banged in goals like that? Particularly given that the whole thing was on the precipice.

When the Wanderers have taken the lead and they concede that rather calamitous own goal from Brandon Borrello, I don't think I was the only one watching who would have thought, oh God, this is going to go pear-shaped pretty quickly.

And they came through it.

Importantly, their women's team won that afternoon as well in really solid fashion.

I thought just about every part of their team was working well.

There was a little bit of a mix up that caused the Brandon Borrello own goal.

I don't know why Lawrence just doesn't catch that ball.

I'm not sure what he's thinking, punching it there.

And, you know, for the Wanderers to put five past them is, that's pretty impressive.

So the likes of Borrello as well, hopefully he starts to find a bit of form compared to last.

Can I just say, I didn't notice it in the derby, but He does not look like Brandon Borrello when he shaves his

beard.

Jacob Farrell ruled out late through injury.

Brandon Borrello, who you would think was maybe going to start, and then Awan Lawal starts, and unfortunately for the poor bloke, he's gone down in the first 10 minutes with the hamstring injury.

And I really think that that threw the Wanderers because De Pizio ended up having to play as the nine.

And then, yeah, I think they just kind of messed up their shape a little bit and they couldn't get any fluency.

And that's no disrespect to the current Brisbane Roar squad, but the one of 10 years ago absolutely cleans up.

You've got Socceroos in James MacLaren, Brandon Borrello, Tommy Orr, Matt McKay were all in this squad.

Jade North, Luke de Vere.

Did Corey Brown ever play for the Socceroos? I don't think he ever m-

Uh, they've still got, uh, Nicolas Milanovic.

They've got Brandon Borello's still there as well.

They brought in Hiroshi Aibosuki, who had been at Western United for a while.

Angus Thurgate and Steven Ugarkovic will hold together that midfield.

Hopefully a little bit of a reversion to the mean as well, like their baseline should just bring them up the field.

But when you add in Miguel De Lazario and Nicholas Milanovic and Liam Gilligan, and you've already got Brandon Borrello, who has had a quiet year last year, and you know, Ibusuki's still running around as well, the potential in there is massive.

Um, so 21 points was an extremely disappointing season for them last time out, and they start really hot with, um, you know, the Sydney Derby on Friday night, right? But I, I just...

I, I'm believing.
