So we have 5 covid cases at the moment (pending any recoveries). Piscopo, Bozinovski, Van Hattam, Prso, Surman, Payne and Hooper all missed the FFA cup game. So not sure which 2 aren't covid cases. Short turn around too.

Stuff article yesterday mentioned Van Hattum had a tight hamstring after the Adelaide game
Two were COVID cases and three had an equivocal result to the fast antigen test which could mean they had to then be properly swabbed and tested with the slow but accurate old school test. If this result is negative they should hopefully be cleared to play. My comment is speculative so others may correct me on this.
The testing regime in NSW is basically collapsing atm. People aren't getting PCR results for 4-5 days so I'm not sure any of the new 3 will be cleared in time.
Going to be a tough ask to play in 2 days time after that 120 min slog. Especially if Hooper, Payne, Piscoppo and the likes are unavailable Ball looked toasted and in need of a rest. Sutton looks unlikely. many others played 120 minutes. And now we also have an FFA cup game against Vic mid next week.
Whatever happens regarding the lineup come the time I am hoping Pennington did enough in the match last night to shoe he's ready to have a crack starting

Where and in what combo can you put Pennington/Payne/Rufer/Lewis/Laws? And Fenton/Elliot/Sutton/McGarry for that matter? The cup run make this a much more interesting dilemma as actually everyone will play. Also 3 players had the energy and composure to lift their pens (which is much higher percentage) for what it’s worth: Pennington, Waine and Lewis. Sotirio sent the keeper the wrong way. Also not sure that Waine would have got an unblocked shot off- the defender was racing in, so maybe not the wrong option from Louis…

Are we playing mid next week? I thought it was still TBD? Sydney V CCM is the week of the 17th so I'd expect our game to be sometime then too.

Oh we got Victory did we?
Yeah we got MV. Our chance to take down all 3 Victorian A-League clubs in the FFA cup!
Gotta say though I did enjoy Tilio’s card for his stop drop and roll! It wasn’t quite a makeup call, but it still made me happy. When Uffie started we won a few through pens iirc. Just not in their box enough at the moment to get them I guess!

I miss Hooper's perfect conversions. Joy to watch.
Sounds like Wellington Phoenix's A-League Men game v Newcastle Jets game is in serious doubt as there's more Covid-19 cases in the Nix camp. Ufuk Talay's media op at 11.30am has been pushed back. Club still waiting on further PCR results, but confirmation of more cases imminent.

While we weren't in any type of form coming into this match except on a high with the FFA Cup win i believe this break in game time should do us good. It suxs ass not being able to watch us play but honestly weve been unwatchable anyway except going by the Aus TV ratings we rate 20k higher then the Melb Derby going by the Adelaide game.
I wish all the staff at the club a speedy recovery from Covid. As does everyone else I would imagine. Couldn't time it better though - Transfer window.
Let's get a bit realistic about that last result. City are the Champs, City were missing McLaren but otherwise fielded a strong squad. We held them and then beat them.
That result considering our own shortage of experienced players was a fantastic effort by everyone.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!
With all the current and upcoming postponed games I like to see how they going to squeeze all the games into the regular season length.
I am sure we could come up with a formula to benefit the Nix: in case of a shortened season Nix to be awarded points for missed games. Here is the plan: - we already have Clayton Lewis; - we table a quick offer to Brisbane Lions for this guy: https://qldlionsfc.com.au/player/joe-duckworth/

Second game of a midweek double header at Gosford. For some daft reason, we are the late game & CCM are the early game. So both sets of fans getting mucked about by APL scheduling.
Wellington Phoenix hoping to have Gary Hooper back on the bench for tomorrow’s A-League Men game v Newcastle Jets. They’ll see how he holds up after training today.
