WPW R18 vs Western Sydney Wanderers | Sun 9th Mar | 4:00pm | Sky Sports 3

Absolutely must win. Lose this and the Top 6 will be miles away.

I hope you haven't forgotten it's the Sister City Cup!

I suspect you have,lol.

Our buffer is getting smaller and smaller between Perth (2 points behind) and WSW (5 points). We have to win or else we will be overtaken in the next round. 

I'm sure its been asked before but whats parking at Porirua Park like?

Its pretty easy to park just down the road and walk up. Never had to walk for more than 10 minutes or so, and that was even when arriving late.

I hope we ain't relying on Ferguson to score.

Well that was arse

WTF is it with Phoenix teams pissing around passing it friggen back all the time. Seems to be a club thing. The touch of some of the players is so dam clumsy.

Just tuned in.  What a surprise, we are already down one nil. Ffs.  

Ferguson really should have done better there 😕

Ferguson is so shark oh my god

Again holy shark

Commentator just praised someone after missing from three yards 

Shooting has been absolutely woeful.

No shots on target, must be a Phoenix thing. 

But if Ferguson has most of your shots, I guess it's no surprise.

She must be better second half surely.
She traps it further than I can kick it.

Surprised Kelly is still there. They've already moved her put of the way. Get mcmeeken on.

Why hit it right at the keeper. 

Ferguson ...
Can we have a forward?

Someone who can shoot,at last.
Well done Tanaka

Fudgeing banger that!

Love the tequila song changing from Zawada to Tanaka.   

Haha

Couldn't miss that one
Mcmeeken and Tanaka have added a lot

Whoop whoop! Get in!! 

Beaut goal! On the fifth chance!

Could of been her hattrick but what a finish! Glad she got that one. 

Please hold on girls

Sowden ain’t a commentator 

I thought it was Sowden? 

Did they announce the crowd?  It looks sparse. 

Gret way to win a match that! Well done

Gee in the last 20 minutes it was so good to see a Nix team looking to go forward

We won we won WE WON A GAME OF FOOTBALL!!!

Now if Melbourne Victory could help us by beating Canberra that would be great. 

Pleased forTanaka.
She hasn't had a lot of chance, and that will give her a much better chance of a contract,with us or someone else.

We actually played quite well apart from silly goal and Fergusons finishing.

For all Fergusson cops a lot of flack here and does undeniably fluff a lot of chances, this is the third game in a row she’s scored in. I’ll take an 86th-minute winner from anyone.

I have to admit she's gotten a lot better at getting herself into good positions.

1st half was pretty poor, but we really got going in that 2nd half!

Tanaka's goal was an absolute banger, and it was good to see Fergusson get one after missing a few much easier chances!

I imagine Elliot may not feature next week after 3 hits to the head, probably will be rested for concussion safety. So Tanaka would be a good shout for a start

The hunt for finals lives on!🔥🔥

Procrastinixing

Now if Melbourne Victory could help us by beating Canberra that would be great. 

Huge result today. With our remaining games, it's all in our court, if we are good enough.

I hope Elliott’s ok, that ball smack in the face that felled her looked pretty nasty.

While we have been in poor form so have the sides above us. Win 3 of our last 5 and I'd say that'll be us in. Apart from Melbourne City all are quite winnable too.
