Western Premier League: Two-match challenge may define Panorama FC's season

The Goats host Dubbo Bulls FC at Proctor Park this Saturday before heading over to Jack Brabham Park on Wednesday to try and right their wrongs against Barnstoneworth United FC.

And if Panorama want to figure in the finals race then they're going to need a better brand of football than what they showed in last round's 6-1 loss to league leaders Macquarie United FC.

Panorama manager Brent Osborne said the team have to show they're capable of bouncing back from a tough blow.

"These games could make or break our season. If we win both games we put ourselves in a strong position for finals. If we lose both games then we're going to be in strife," he said.

"This will be our most important game of the season thus far, no doubt about it."

This Saturday will be a repeat of the opening round fixtures, where every match ended in a 1-all draw.

A win can catapult Panorama from fourth place into second place, leaping both Bulls and Lithgow Workmans in the process.

"It's going to be really interesting since all three games were draws. It's a good chance to see who's improved through the season," Osborne said.

"We feel like we probably should have won that first game, to be honest, but it was our first fixture in WPL and we were travelling to Dubbo, so we were still pumped with that draw.

"We take a degree of confidence into the weekend but Bulls were short of some players in that last game."

Panorama will go into the clash with a different looking squad from the one which took the field against Macquarie.

Unfortunately the side will be without defender pairing Jye Fleischmann and James Cox to suspension and injury respectively.

However, the team will have plenty of numbers in return as they welcome back Jacob Soetens, Jarrah Hale, Jarrod Portegies and Will Fitzpatrick.

Panorama and Bulls kick-off at Proctor Park from 5pm.
