WPW R16 vs Adelaide United | Wed 20th Mar | 5:00pm | Porirua Park / Sky Sport 1

Absolutely must win if we wanna keep those slim Finals hopes alive.

Absolutely must win if we wanna keep those slim Finals hopes alive.

If I interpret things right, we need to win all three games and hope Wanderers lose to Western Utd in their second last game.

If the Nix win their last 3 matches, we need:

WSW to Draw/Lose to Western United &
Jets to not pick up more than 4 points vs Victory/Adelaide

This is a possibility. All except WU since losing Logarzo to injury are not quite the team they were, losing there last two games.
Anything is possible though. But first we must beat Adelaide tomorrow, that is all they can control.

Obviously start Cox… and is Longo around at all? Would be great to bring her on to see out the game.

I hope Main is fit, cos we dont have a better option. Robertson and Elliott dont cut it.
Gonna have to play a back 4 with Taylor - and Jaber at right back. With Cox, Speckmaeir, Fraser and Whinham we should have enough firepower to win this.

great start from the ladies,
first goal came from decent defensive pressure from Fraser and a quick pick up from the back pass by Speckmeier, well finish goal.

Good watch so far! 

Strong half! Loving our attacking intent and creativity on the ball. 

Could have been ahead by more but just lacking some execution/better runs... nonetheless Speckmaier, Cox and Foster all having awesome games

Get the sawdust out

odd that a patch in the middle of the pitch gets that boggy! been very little to no rain lately.

goal #2, Taylor with a cracker after a melee in the box!

Taylor!!!

That’s another great goal! 

Geez Kate Taylor. Can tackle, can pass, can run over players, can beat players at the byline and now scores volleys! 

You support your team in a tough game against the tank toppers and then they take that confidence with them and smash other teams. 

Can’t say I know the whole squad 100% yet, but some players have made themselves impossible to forget! 

Not sure why Cox isn't playing in the middle. She doesn't touch the ball enough on the wing

lovely wing play from Cox for the third! Robertson snekaing in to collect the cross along the ground.

Great win for the girls, wish I could have been there.  Hope there was a good mid week crowd.  

Great game,some lovely football, we were clearly the better side by some way.
Adelaide,hmm,persisted trying to play it out when repeatedly they couldn't get over the half way line.

Good team game all round. I'm gonna call out Micheala foster and Isabel COX, they were great today. Taylor  too.

Great game to watch, respect to the girls and the fans who were there making noise!

Second half delayed here as they fix a puddle created by placing the kiddies goal right above a sprinkler during the halftime break.#WELvADL pic.twitter.com/z4APUTIBf3

Gutted I couldn't get out to Porirua for that one because fudgeing hell what a game from our amazing Nix.

If that was at the Stadium I coulda swung in but Ah well.

That keeps our finals chances just alive right?  Just need results to fall out way?

Micky Foster probably had her best game in a Phoenix shirt tonight. 

Agree with you about Elliot, she will develop over time.
Robertson on the other hand is proving she offers something different from the other players and looks better week on week with more game time.

Robertson certainly had an impact today. She made a lot of ground for her tap in goal, probably a 60m run.

We need:
- To beat Canberra and WSW
- WSW not to beat WU
- Jets drops points vs Victory or Adelaide
