WPW R15 vs Melbourne Victory | Sat 8th Feb | 4:00pm | Porirua Park / Sky Sports 1

Nix host the high flying Melbourne Victory. Need some points to not fall off the pace in the Race for the Top 6.

Bringing my five year old over from the Wairarapa to watch this. Where is the best place to park close to the ground?

Bringing my five year old over from the Wairarapa to watch this. Where is the best place to park close to the ground?

Right opposite the entrance on Mungavin Ave,but you will need to be there an hour before the start, else your on-road space will be progressively further and further away from the ground.

If you are relatively young and fit, the best place is at the car park on the left up Gear Terrace. Its free. But its quite a steep walk down.

There is a little alley you can walk down a bit lower down on Gear Terrace, but the gate is sometimes locked unfortunately.

Another glorious day to get out and support the Wahinix, let's do this!

Fire up it's Game Day!

Very tough one today but also Victory have to come to the fortress that is Porirua Park

🔥🔥COYN🔥🔥

Beautiful day for it.  Come on girls!!!

So both Tanaka and McMeeken missing from the squad today

Not as many seagulls today, hopefully that isn’t bad luck for us.

COYN!

Ferguson in,ahead of Main FGS.

Neary on the bench,let's hope she's not needed.

Could the Ferguson thing be she has just been the most unluckiest football in the world during her stint at Wellington? Unlucky on every bobble of the ball and decison she has made etc. Temple must be seeing something in training we dont see.

Great goal Maya!

Half a Pint

Great goal Maya!

Excellent header! Once again I think she's up there for player of the season (her and Longo imo)

Vilao! Love that save

Have we lost the yellow kits? 5th game in a row as a club we're in black.

Who is on comments with Dewhurst?

Pretty annoyed about McMeeken left out again. 

Remarkable. So far, Victory have shown very little in midfield, just hoof and chase.

Ferguson off please. 
The rest have been great.

The game is certainly being allowed to flow, to put it diplomatically

What a start! lovely goal, well orchestrated, clearly something they've been working on in training.
Victory look totally lost at the moment, but we can't relax they'll come out firing for the second half.

Victory woeful. 3 points a must here

Fenix

Ferguson off please. 
The rest have been great.

 I'm still trying to figure out what it is that she is meant to offer

Don't agree with others about Victory - they've been second best, but look dangerous on transition especially with those long balls, we look a bit loose in our marking at times. Gielnik has a great physical presence and worried she's going to score

We looked great in that 1st half, hopefully we can keep it up for the 2nd. Victory probably will put more pressure on us in the 2nd.

Longo and Wall have been Stand outs for me so far today

Enjoying the lack of seagulls flying in front of the cameras today as well

We are looking good again so far this 2nd half, but I'd love to see Main come on soon - I think she'll cause a lot of problems for a tiring Victory defence

Damn. Barry gave it away.

Gutted, Jaber should've done better

Awful defending. Comical.

Fenix

Damn. Barry gave it away.

Wasn’t her I don’t think?

Jaber I'm pretty sure

Barry's wayward pass before hand. Jabers attempted rescue unfortunately fell straight to the Victory.

I have no freaking idea why main isn't on

I feel we've should've made some subs by now

Fenix

I have no freaking idea why main isn't on

Fergusson off - Main on

Think this should've happened 10 or so minutes ago

Do we have a lack of depth at centre forward?

Outside Fergusson (out of form), Main (better off the bench) and Jale (playing well further wide), who do we actually have?

Half a Pint

I have no freaking idea why main isn't on

Fergusson off - Main on

Paul was still in the changing rooms adjusting his outfit.

How do we never draw against anyone else and always draw against Victory?

Main has got to do better there - beauty of a ball from Longo though

Half a Pint

it's way, way,too late. After 2 minutes of the first half would have suited me.
