A-Leagues 25/26 - The Other Matches Thread

Procrastinixing

Not watching but is Sydney rubbish again?

 
No

Sydney have never beaten Auckland, doesn't sound like that is going to change today :-(

King doesn't call much.

Best two defensive sides going at it. 

May can't score, astounding!

Wow, how did AFC not score then? 1-0

That was a proper game of a-league footy.

Deserved Auckland win, should have won by more 

Great game. So attacking. 13000 plus crowd got their moneys worth 

AFC should probably have won that by more. Right now they look in much better form than us with the derby rapidly approaching. WSW an absolute must win because I can't see us beating AFC

Banzai!...AIEEE!!!

That was a proper game of a-league footy.

Get to see the return leg in a week and a half. Tho Sydney have one game in between.

Thanks for nothing unless Sydney.  Thankfully we have our Wahinix. 

Well done AFC.  What a game…

Amazing stats.

37% possession

3.97 expected goals.

Roar vs CCM is 0-0 after 30 mins.

Anyone know why WSW v Adelaide womens game was moved to Sunday? 

Daggers!! 1-0 just before half time.

High temperatures were forecast for its original time/day slot.

Coasties level us up again moments before half time, 1-1

You are judging AFC’s form off just today, they had been ordinary of late including losing to Perth last week.

Key is the Nix sorting out their defence before then.

They have left plenty of goals however out there in the games they lost and drew.

Yep... been a couple of average performances but games such as CCM they should've won 7-1.

Roux!! Coasties ahead 1-2 with 10 mins to go.

Did we break the Roar? If this result stands, they have lost 5 out of 6 matches since the Nix beat them. 1-2

Operation avoid the spoon time

vs WSW at CommBank, P7 W2 D1 L4. About average for us away from home.

Gonna feel dirty to cheer on City tonight.

These are dark times.

They were very good today though.

You know it’s ok to give them credit when they deserve it.

Aziz Behich might just have ensured we won't be bottom of the table when we play AFC. WSW 0-1 MCY

Scrach that. Kraev equaliser

Edit: Finished 1-1 and if we lose by 2 goals next weekend we will be bottom of the ladder when we host the derby 

To be honest I think our seasons goal will be to avoid the wooden spoon. We are so inconsistent. If Adelaide win we will need six points to get to sixth. We will need to go on an amazing run or have other teams screw up for us to get top six.

Based on previous seasons, 38 points is the mark you need to hit for 6th. With how close this season has been, maybe 35 could just sneak in.

There are 10 games left (4 home, 6 away), so probably need to win at least 6 of them.

@ WSW
vs AKL
vs SYD
@ ADL
vs PER
@ BRI
@ MVC
@ MCY
vs WSW
@ MAC

Can rule both those Melbourne games out.

The Nix now is more likely to be in the grand final than wooden spooners.

Serious  money has been splashed by the owners and the side is awash with talent.

The Phoenix have won ZERO out of their last EIGHT finals games, stretching back to 2012. Zero finals wins in 14 years. We aren't making the grand final.

not with that kind of attitude they wont!
god if the players listened to anything close to this kind sort of dross they'd just not bother.

I think there may very well be that attitude entrenched in the Phoenix team culture. How else can you explain such a record?

Assuming a 50% chance of progressing from a finals tie (0.5^7 x 100) would give you a less than 1% chance of failing to progress from 7 in a row. 

And if there is such an attitude in the team it certainly isn't my fault. You can blame those responsible for running the club. 

that's a very big if!!
but if I can't blame you for said attitude then you just as equally cant criticise/blame me or anyone else for accepting that minimum standards of 6th being set by the club.
