Perth Glory v. Wellington Phoenix Game Thread

Moss the MOM so far

och well, at least we've not lost an early goal for a change.

Good to hear Perth commentators sl*gging off their own team too!

Smeltz ain't been too bad either

certainly a hand full of shirt there

hold on...

Half Time, 0-0

I'll take 0-0 at half time. Is this the first time thats happened?

Moss has been absolutely immense.

Well, I suppose any half without conceeding is a good half.

Just got to put a few past the Aussie sh!tters to make things a bit better...!

COME ON PHOENIX!

I think Smeltz has been good. Fluffed a chance but always looks positive.

On track for the first ever clean sheet

id rather a goal though. lia and brown have been playing good

Radio have gone all Germanic and are calling him 'Schmeltz".

Lochead's having a great game and Lia's been impressive.

Damn, Elrich should've scored on that Smeltz layoff...

gosh - that shot of the changing room, the WP didn't look like happy campers

True, Lia has put some nice balls through, and the D is at least holding with Moss on fine form...

Still we're making chances and getting shots on target, so as long as mossy stays in form and our defense helps him out a bit, we should come out of this with at least a draw.

I thought the defence rallied well at about the 25th-30 minute mark. There were about 4 clear cut chances for Perth caused by terrible defending though.

They just seem like they're asleep half the time. Dodd is the only vocal one.

Would've hated to see them at the end of last weeks game then

Maybe the Phoenix need Gillette Fusion Power...?

some promising signs towards the end of that half as the players got used to the formation.
While the commentators say Daniel is supposed to be more centrally, he's still on the left and Elrich sitting on the right behind Smeltz. Brown is playing in front of Johnson and Lia and he's been running all over the place.

The longer we keep them scoreless the more the pressure grows on them and on Ron Smith. Got to watch Harnwell's nod downs and flick ons for the rat-like Robinson.

not in movember they dont

Good to see Brown revving up the boys

It's just occurred to me that Leo Bertos has been left out of Perth's matchday squad...he's not injured I don't think.  Interesting...

Not a bad half, Perth should have scored at least once but Moss is having a fine game. We've not been too bad, Lia looks a good player and Elrich is finding his feet. Lochead has done well on the left.

goooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllll
