WPM R6 vs Western United 🐍 | Sun 13th Nov | 3:00pm | RoF/SS7

A song for the rivalry with snakes https://youtu.be/Ef10KbypviU

Low 6000s attendance again, I reckon. Pretty quiet at 15 to go.

It's gutting me that I am here at work and not there. My 2nd ever missed home game. And no, I couldn't pull a sickie my two Bosses go to games. That would be a rather awkward moment!!

Come on Nix, another 4-1 win would be awesome!

Grim looking crowd on the telly. Especially given the cracking weather and good home result last week.

Why no yellow and black shirts today? Annoys me.

We’re at home, why no home strip?

Two wasted short corners. Otherwise a promising start. Old and Sutts looking good.

Come on Phoenix!

Lucky bounce but great build up play we’re playing unbelievable so far

Stoked for Zawada. He's been a great physical presence this season and a contributer to others goals, as well as part of many near but not quites. Happy to see him chalk his name on the tally before the WC break.

So Kraev gets annoyed and decides to dribble! Nek minnit 😎

Zawada he’s got lots of hair

Alex King trying to chalk it off but can’t. 

Continuation of the second half goals from last week. Beautiful short passing through the middle. Love it!

Come on Phoenix!

We’re doing well to beat Young. Come on Phoenix!

Kraev's quality is really starting to shine through the last few games. Great turn in midfield to set that Old chance up.

Risdon four fouls on Kraev. Attempts to play the ball? Yellows?

I was gonna say why is Kosta on pens

Never thought for a second he was going to slot that.

I feel like Kosta is not a natural finishing so I have no idea why he’s first choice for pens

Outpost

Never thought for a second he was going to slot that.

 
Surely behind Kraev and Zawada. 

Hopefully the missed PEN is not a game changer.  

We need this second goal. Come on!

We need this second goal. Come on!

One of those games where it's either going to be 5-0 or 1-1 with a late heart breaker.

Kosta Barba-Useless strikes again…

FFS - come on boys,  missed pen is bad enough but to let them back into the match - we should have this one wrapped up already.  I hope Ufuk gives them the treatment at the break

Great half and some great play need to score next though and the goals will start flying in can’t let Western get a goal and sit in for the rest of the game 

Overall I think we have had a  very good half. Kosta is causing problems for Western (missed pen aside).

Great defending late on from Wooton to prevent the tap in. So many times this season I have seen CBs failing to track and pressure the scorer.

In the balance. Old has been heavily marshaled, Kraev has been kicked and we should have been more clinical with our chances. 
Western always a threat on the counter so we have to get a couple more goals and close the game out. 
Clean sheet would be nice too!

Risdon shuts down another attack by getting nowhere near the ball. Ref didn’t accept it last week. 

Kraev! F he is good, f he is good.

Kraev has been class all afternoon 

Nicely taken goal from Kraev that’s 3 now!

Phew, was starting to get twitchy. Very poor from Troisi - that header needed to be put out for a corner.

Concentration time. If we can keep our head, I’d like to see Sasse get some minutes. 
Focus lads

Who’s organising that defense? Jaysus. 
Wake up!

Pennington time?

That’s enough to be off in rugby WC final. 
Danaskos is hurting our players with incompetence.

That doesn't look good....

Get those farkn WU players away. 4 surrounding the ref.
