R7 v WSW | Sun 11 Feb | 9.00pm | SS1 | #Dura280

Ridenton needs to learn he also has to track players and cover his teammates. 

Great desperation from Fox here.  They are going through us like a hot curry at the moment though.

fox saves italiano's career right there!

Yip also he called a white WSW player Bonevacia... I mean come on.

I just dont understand how 11 well paid professional footballers can play worse than your average saturday division 10 side?

Fox is good.

And on three different occasions mistook Cacace for Ridenton, Ljujić and McGlinchey

holding possession- but Burns and then Galloway fail with decisive passes

the lack of Krishna's pace is clear AGAIN,

parkhouse on the left????

Really we sub Parkhouse?

It really should be 2-0 to WSW. Disappointing seeing how many chances we've given WSW even after a half-time chat. 

Parkhouse coming on. with that all my support for Darije has now disappeared. please leave mate

Parkhouse better be on the left - but why him?

Put Patterson on and get a decent look at him

interesting parkhouse came on before paterson 

patterson might come on for AK??

Parkhouse? FUCK OFF!

WeeMac aint great but in no world is Parkhouse an A-League level player

fark, wouldn't even mind Parkhouse to finally get one.

Want a bloody win

Don't worry boys. Parkhouse is our saviour.

Your balls? ;) 

Why why why bring on Parkhouse when we have Singh and Monty on the bench. Absolute fraud of an A-League player.

I think Patterson passed to play after seeing this shark.

Parkhouse must look amazing at training for Ernie to give him 2 years and for K to keep playing him as well.

Shown nothing see about week 5 if lucky

Fudge this

" Oh a bit unlucky there cos Okonomidis lay down sally has got his studs up there as well"

no fudging sharke. But not what we call 'unlucky'

Even Thwaite is scoring now.  We are being trolled.

Time to turn it off and stop watching the Phoenix until we are no longer the worst team in the world

VAR. handful of shirt there

lols

Please come back Krishna!!

end me

to me it was a last chance game to save the season. Now the aim is 9th place.

Do everything you can to keep Krishna - he is all we have

Any kind of fool could see....

Ah well, there goes the tiny bit of hope left I had for this season. Time to bring (more) kids out. That was a decent set piece, wouldn't really blame any one in particular for that goal. 

#YellowFeverTripTo50ShadesInsteadOfThis

Klaud is not A League quality I'm sorry... he gets far too much love for the amount of chances he butchers and Burns needs to show up and stop just hanging out up top.

24 shots to our 4 - none of ours have even come close to testing the keeper - 1 goal in 5.5 games - we will be lucky if we win again.

Slater "I'm glad WSW scored in the second half. Nothing against Wellington, I'm just saying" Jesus he doesn't stop.

The biggest issue for me is that we're not playing with any desire or passion.

at least parky is on the left

As far as I can tell, it has to do with being part of the narrative, or remaining outside the narrative. At the moment we seem to be in the "a little bit pregnant" condition; an A-League club but a black sheep at best. An  "Australian" club in Wellington, but not really part of the A-League ongoing narrative which is completely Australian-centred, for a good reason. It does not help when we're not a threat to beat another team.

Bonevacia is now "one of them" as far as Slater is concerned, while Burns or Mullen or Galloway are somehow not (as per the jingoistic commentary). There has been a clear increase in this "us and them" mentality which could be to do with FOX, and their commercial reasons., I do not see any chance of change in the current setup.  It could be that an independent commercial A-League (owned by the clubs) might change that. They might invite us to join it, or they may not, but it will be clear from the outset if we belong.
