Just saw on twitter there isn’t any coverage of the game tonight anyway!
Live on Sky Sport 1 at 8.30 according to their schedule.
Wellington Phoenix’s A-League Women game v Western Sydney Wanderers has been moved to Wanderers Football Park due to further flooding in New South Wales and will *not* be broadcast live.
great win! in respect to the league table I dont think it actually matters where we finish. Getting two wins on the board, being competitive with most teams in big parts of the season is more important that not being in last place. Glory didnt win a game all season last year now they are 5th. Given a full off season, security around where the team will be based, maybe even getting some real home support and this team could be sitting mid table too.

Exactly this. Last or 2nd last what does it really matter. Nix men were bottom in their first season, yet they had more time to form a club (though not a lot more time), Terry's deferred IRD payments and proper home games.
And yes is interesting Glory in season 2 are just one spot off the ALW playoffs. Good pointer for Nix women.

They have done very well in challenging circumstances, I'm sure they would still prefer not to finish last.

I honestly dont think they'd care. Going into this season the coaches didnt seem to have any expectations regarding league position. They didnt even seem to be counting on a win. It was all talk of building a squad, being competitive and seeing what happens. This has to have been the toughest intro to professional football for some of these players - they've shown incredible maturity beyond most of their ages, and most have shown they have the skills to be in the league. Some have even shown they could well be stars. Taking two wins this season is simply amazing! No two ways about it this has been a success for the Nix women and a great platform to build on for next season.
Last big test coming up for the girls against Perth. They have progressed so far. Game to game. Learning to be competitive. Learning to score. Then learning, not to give up leads late in games. Learning to win. etc etc. Overcoming many mental obstacles along the way. Living away from home, amongst a pandemic etc.
Last big opportunity now to showcase there huge progression this season if they can back up a win. That would be a massive piece of history for this team and should be there motivation rather than where they finish on the table. Big ask though on a three day turn around, with a thin squad. And likely a lot of players already thinking about heading home to be with family.
I think for sure they won't want to finish last. No one does, be that pro football or Masters. And that will be the motivation for the final game v Glory.
Good to at least see some highlights of the game. Great win for the girls. Good to see us scoring a few. Pritchard's goal was a beauty. She works so hard around the field, so good to see her finally execute and show us what's she's capable of. But geez that last goal we conceded was bad. Lily has shown she is up for it at this level but if she wants to step up to international level then she really has to command the six yard box a lot better than that. But everyone still has work ons I guess.
