Suspect the Phoenix would have as well (not necessarily instead of)
Eli Just (AC Horsens | Denmark)
Just and Wilkins both on the bench as Helsingor travel to FA 2000.
Looks like Just scored to secure a 1-1 draw.
"Jaa! 1-1. The smallest of the runway, Eli Just header the ball in!"

Both Just & Wilkins were introduced at 72 mins. Sounds like Just esp, did well.

After 72 minutes, the coach team switched the two New Zealanders Eli Just and Dalton Wilkins into the place of Ricki Olsen and Frederik Christensen in an attempt to add a little fresh feet to the team. It should later turn out to be a good idea.
FA2000 came pretty much not over the middle at this stage of the battle, and we had to reach it 82. Minute before FCH got his next big chance. Bay was given a corner kick, and on Holst's fine kick, it was more than close to Nicolas Mortensen being able to heal Fch's rebalancing, but his powerful headshot went right past the distant post. Douglas was switched in immediately after, and it was very close that in his first action he could find Nikolaj Hansen in the middle of the goal with a nice centering, but again came a FA2000-foot in the way.
But in the 87. Last minute, FCH finally succeeded in getting a hole on the FA2000 defense. Douglas won a headfire duel in the field on a post, and found the smallest player of the track, Elijah Just, who headed the ball in behind FA2000s goalkeeper.
1-1 FC Helsingør
One minute ahead of time, Jonas Henriksen got the ball on the right, and sent it to Douglas by the front post. The Brazilian tried to turn the ball in, but FA2000s goalkeeper was vaks at the garden door and rescued. The minute after, it was even closer as FCH-post Nr. 10,000 in the fight ended up at Nicolas Mortensen, who was headlined against goals. On the line, Douglas stood, but the goalkeeper was ready again and tilted the ball. Douglas, however, was also cripted into the offside.
In the over time, FCH tried to press loud, and after a post from Elijah Just hit the ball a FA2000-defender on the arm. The referee waved off to great frustration for Helsingør's players, staff and fans who thought to see a clear penalty kick. But it was at 1-1 in a very eventful and somewhat messy struggle when the referee shortly after whistled off.
The next match will be the first home match at the new Helsingør Stadium. It is against Avarta on Friday 16/08, and it is at 19.00.
I love that we are google translating more match reports featuring Kiwis.
great to see the kiwi lads get some game time and make an impact in their first game..... next game at the new stadium.

A little lost in translation, but sounds promising. No minutes for Wilkins this week.
"With seven minutes left, it was close again. Eli Just, who had replaced a terrific Lucas Haren, played a cheeky one-two up through the Avarta field, and with a beautiful sliding play pulled the ball towards goal and finished. Only one Morten Bank fever rescue prevented scoring from the young New Zealander. The ball is cleared off the boot of the defender, Nicolas Mortensen. He was his team a really good man of the day.
After 88 minutes, "Eli" was close again. Douglas got the ball to the left and found a completely free Elijah Just ten yards off the field. The New Zealander pulled towards goal and chopped it as soon as he got in the field, but the bank got in the way again."
Helsingor win 2-1 at Hillerod (had keeper sent off).
Just got 35 odd mins off the bench. No mention of Wilkins.

After 55 minutes, Eli Just, Anders Holst came on for substitute. Eli pulled into the field and made it to a teammate, but the Hillerød defense got rejected. Lucas Haren made a great rush, though, with FCH players coming in on the right.
Helsingor top of the league after 4 matches.
Haven't seen any full line-up information come out on Soccerway or Transfermarkt yet.

FCH: Petersen, Bay, Bonnesen, Hansen, R. Olsen, Holst (Just 55’), Norouzi, Kristensen (Christensen 80’) , Haren, Mortensen (Holm 87’) , Kjær.
Note 2.Division (Danish 3rd tier) has 2 regional leagues, with promotion playoffs. I don't think there are any automatic promotion spots.
Helsingør beat Vanløse 6-2. So that should keep top spot.
No Wilkins, but Just got another 30 mins off the bench, when Helsingor already 4-0 up.
No mention of Just otherwise in the match report. but some of the Danish to English is rather amusing. Ref pointing to the stain for a penalty, and players rounding husbands with the ball.

Just and Wilkins both unused subs in a 3-1 away at HIK.
I wonder if fact Just will be with NZ U23s in Sept FIFA window (which Danish 3rd tier won't stop for), played a part in him receiving no action this weekend.
5-0 league win over Holbaek.
Wilkins & Just both unused subs.
top of the table and a great start to the season to go straight back up... playing great football too. Hard to judge but that team would give most a-league teams a good game
Probably not a huge issue just yet, but with the lack of first team minutes in a team going so strong, is there a reserve team they can use to get some minutes in the legs?
I'd assume that there is, could be useful for the lads.
Odd that he has not got more minutes, especially when he seems to have good write ups about his cameos.
Subbed on from 47 mins in a 7-0 win over bottom side Skovshoved
Score 5-0 when he came on.
No mention of Wilkins.
Helsingor top of the table by 5 points.
Looks like him and Wilkins will be playing in the top tier next year.
Looks like him and Wilkins will be playing in the top tier next year.
Helsingor are in the 3rd tier (2nd Division).
So promotion would be to the 2nd tier (1st Division). That would be same level as N Boxall's Viborg.
Note there is no automatic promotion it seems (playoffs at season end), so topping the league is no gtee.
topping the table and gaining as many points as possible are important and the top 6 teams from the 2 divisions play each other in second half of season. Points carry over to this stage. They currently top the points in both divisions so that's equally important. Then the top 2 teams based on points get promoted.
So no easy games, no slacking off, every point counts!
Ps eli looks so comfortable in games, a bit deeper in the weekend distributing well
Helsingor beat Holbæk away 2-1, to stay top of the table.
Neither Just or Wilkins required off the bench.
Looks like him and Wilkins will be playing in the top tier next year.
Isn't the 2.Division the third tier in Denmark?

Yes... As Coochiee mentioned previously, promotion would be to the 1st Division (2nd Tier)
Helsingor with a 4-0 win over FA2000.
Just & Wilkins both subbed on at 58 mins, when their team already 4-0 to the good. In fact was 4-0 at HT.
Looks like no minutes for either Just or Wilkins as Helsingor beat Slagelse 5-2.

Serious question: they haven’t played many minutes, are they better for this experience (third tier, Denmark)? Nix could use an attacking right back who knows how to defend; just saying.

absolutely. This is a very good team who should realistically be one of the favourites for promotion into the top tier next season. Big club with very big plans and a squad far too good for the level they play at

Neither is an attacking right back so game time would be zero on that basis.

Thank you Google Translate - interesting to see another young Kiwi is playing with Eli - I hadn't realised!
FC Helsingør's young edge player Elijah Just is selected for the New Zealand A-team's upcoming friendly matches against Lithuania and Ireland. It is the first time since Daniel Udsen was selected for the Faroese national team that FC Helsingør has a player on an A national team.
The selection comes after "Eli", whom he just calls daily, got really nice feedback for his efforts at this summer's U20 World Cup in Poland.
"The U-20 team did really well under Des Buckingham's lead to the World Cup, and I have had in-depth conversations with him about the squad's composition," New Zealand's newly-appointed national coach Danny Hay said to www.nzfootball.co.nz. "He (Buckingham ed.) Gave me favorable opinions on the players he felt made especially good for the World Cup."
Defender Dalton Wilkins also participated in the U20 World Cup in Poland, but is not selected for the adult national team at this time.
Sports manager Brian Gellert wishes the young player congratulations on the selection:
- We are immensely proud that we have hatched our first national team player ever. We managed to pick up Dalton and Eli before the U20 World Cup, and we are happy to be confirmed that we saw the right thing with the two. "Eli" is a player that we are convinced will be a big profile for us in the future, and he has something "X-factor" that you very rarely see in Denmark. Both he and Dalton are still young and have had to get used to Danish football, and Denmark on the whole, but they are both players with the potential for a great career.
Elijah Just joins a national team squad that also includes Marco Rojas from SønderjyskE in the Danish Super League, as well as Danish-New Zealand Winston Read, who plays daily at West Ham United in the English Premier League.
Elijah "Eli" Just has played eight games for FC Helsingør this spring, scoring a single goal.

Neither Kiwi sees any action in a 4-1 win over 3rd placed Brønshøj.
Helsingør now 14 points clear in top spot. Promotion is not automatic - seems there is playoff system at season end, but look easily the best team in the league.
Had a player sent off in the first half (AM I think, so Just may get minutes next week), and still a comfortable win.
Danish Division 2 restarts (3rd tier), with FC Helsingør, losing 1-2 to Middelfart.

Start of the Promotion Round, with perhaps points not carried over from the Regular season, according to Soccerway.

If so that's grossly unfair on Helsingør, who were leading the league in canter pre Covid.
Post Covid restart ain't going to plan for FC Helsingør, losing again this time 1-0 at Aarhus Fremad
