WPW R13 vs Central Coast Mariners | Sun 26th Jan | 7:00pm | Sky Sports 4

Can we keep things rolling with another win?

Can we keep things rolling with another win?

I dont think there is much we COULDNT do - with a bit of an improvement.
I very much doubt Ferguson will provide the improvement we need. 
Main, whilst not perfect, is a much better option. 
Elliott has to feature more.
I dont know anything about our new signing, but maybe get Ingham involved from the bench. 

Win and we go to 4th on the table, lose and we go to 6th.  COYN!

🔥🔥COYN🔥🔥

Away form has been pretty decent so far this season

Come on Nix girls, lets go!!

I've just realised this game is on the same time as that other NZ teams game.  Hopefully most will tune into this one.

Today's lineup

It's a starting team, not a squad!
Lol.

No Tanaka.

Let's hope Ferguson proves me wrong.  But tbh I think we have better options and need better options.

Did the commentators just say Paul Temple is from New Zealand?

Good effort in the front third so far

Very much playing on the counter so far, Mariners dominating plenty of general play and getting a lot of space on the ball. Fergusons pace not quite there for the role we are getting her to play.

Vilao caused some stress. Good to see her back on her feet. She is looking on form today

Jale really shoulda shot there.

Consistency in awarding fouls has been similar to last night...

I'm slowly losing hope we can score, let alone win

Well that was a good chance... just a poor finish from Jale. Wait till the Main train comes on!

Was so hoping for a end of half goal there.

Ferguson should have done better there

How’s Ferguson not even gotten a shot off there

We finished the half the stronger, just need to work on getting off better shots. Hopefully we can build on that last 10 or so mins in the 2nd half

Very ordinary half. Feels like a lot of our away games did last season where we have been quite timid and let the other team dictate terms. Can't say we haven't had our chances but honestly Mariners will be frustrated not to be going in ahead.

And yes we did finish the half better, hopefully that can continue and we take the game to them a bit more

A real lack of quality from both teams so far. Hopefully, it's a game of 2 halves

Ferguson is poor,I don't mind saying it. She traps it further than I can kick it. Half as good as Pritchard was. She reminds me of Rennie when she plays for NZ, runs around like a headless chicken and never ever does anything.

Jale should have scored as well. Perfectly set up by Elliott.

We've done well enough generally, but the pointy end is piss poor.

Relying on Main and Ingham.

Procrastinixing

Ferguson should have done better there

You reckon?

Come on girls!

FFS

Great goal, this Fuller girl has looked dangerous all game. Deserved lead sadly

We've woken up! COYN!

Hopefully Main will get 5 Mina,at least! FFS

Main Train - choo choo.  Decent amount of time to make an impact.

There's been plenty of hype this season but man, if we can't suss out these away girls then our ceiling is top six and lose first round finals. 

That would be solid but this team is capable of better!

I’ve been in and out of both games, but in none of what I’ve seen would woken up apply!

Maybe if you'd been focussing on the Wellington Phoenix game you'd have observed the 10-15 minute spell after their goal

Too little,too late.
Didn't look like we wanted to score.

Brought Main & Ingham on,late, and didn't attempt to use them in any way.

Definitely disappointed, we just never lifted our game this week

Disappointing.  Same old story, we didn't finish our chances.  Hard to take since this is the Mariners second season and they've beaten us 3 times already.

3 year old and a play park too in my defense! But love the spikeiness. Fair.

Saw about 10 minutes max of each game in the first half…sort of listening and glancing down.

Hasn't exactly been an even home/away balance to be fair.

Well not yet.

Great and just seen that aUcKlAnD won again. FFS what a shark night.
