Some hope for the weekend, Nix have a solid history this season of winning the next game, after coping a hiding previous game.

Yet here we are, four games remaining, and the Wellington Phoenix are sitting fifth on the ladder with every chance of earning a home finals match. When it’s bad it’s terrible but when it’s good it’s really good and there doesn’t seem to be much spillage between those two states because of those six 4+ goals defeats... they’ve won the immediate next game on three occasions and will be aiming to make it four on the weekend at Eden Park in Auckland.
The Nix’s goal difference was shot weeks ago. At this stage, a 1-0 loss and a 4-0 loss are basically no worse than each other so long as the team is able to respond in the next game which they generally tend to do. It’s rocks or diamonds with them at the moment but considering all the challenges put before them it’s pretty remarkable that they are where they are with everything still to play for going into the last few weeks of the term. Fingers crossed they score first in a couple more of these remaining fixtures.
