League Table 2012/13 - The Pathetic Thread

Not a good week for the Phoenix table-wise. Wins in the mid-table make it harder for us to progress over the coming weeks.

Next week sees the two top teams playing the two bottom teams. These matches are likely to influence the overall distribution range of the table (it will either get wider or narrower). Beating Melbourne Heart is a must in terms of keeping in touch with the pack.

 For now we drop down a place, so need the 3 points tomorrow.

Are wins worth more points if we drop down a place the night before?

 So there are two games on after the Phoenix, I guess people will head to 4Kings to watch some of the other games?

OK doubters. A win on New Years Day against Brisbane and we will be in our best ever position at the half-way point of the season ever.

1-0 win for Sydney over Mariners. They're going to be right in the mix for top 6 with their current resurgence. Which is annoying.

Maybe that's why our defence hasn't been up to it's usual high standards?

It's a bit weird, because this season we actually have a player that can step up and fill the gap left in the back if one of our defenders gets suspended.

possibly a bit restrained because of the threat from HAL to slap us hard if we misbehaved following the Jets 'friendly'

then again, happy not to be as thuggish as Sidnee, Jets or Victoree

I'm not too fussed on the WSW Victory result. The rest have gone our way. 3 points today helps. Kinda ironic that the bottom placed team is 1 win away from being in the play offs. Close league this year.

In saying that, I wish they would go to a top 4 or 5.

Starting to think the top 4 have started to break away from the pack. Will be a dogfight to get the final two play off spots.

One of them is during the international window sadly. We were trying to sort out ways for the FSE kids to play in that game because it's outside the transfer windows.

Was meaning one of the Jets game is affected by the window, making it not as easy as normal. 18 points available at home and we need most of them.

After 15 games...

07/08 - DLLWDWLLLLWLDDL - 13pts - WDWLLL - 20 pts (21 games)

12/13 - WDDLLLWDWLLDWLL - 16 pts

Starting to drop off the pace set in 09/10 and 11/12 now - seasons when we finished 4th.

However, a couple of wins at home this month and maybe a sneaky point in Sydney would see us right back on track. Not much margin for error left though. Basically we need to win at least 7 of our remaining 12 games (i.e. all our remaining home games) and pick up a few points away.

Totally do-able. I'm relaxed. Don't stop believin' fellas.

Honestly think we will be lucky to make top 6 from here. Start of the season I thought we had a top 4 squad, but it is becoming obvious that we don't even have a top 6 squad.
