Lets play Midnight. It's a fun game!
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
With Perth performing pretty poorly hopefully we can nab a win and boost the teams confidence!
Can we sign Jenkins? Surely worth a punt. After the first round I thought Samba could kick on, but her lack of mobility in the last game worries me. I think her injury is worse than she/they are letting on?
Looking forward to seeing what Leon can bring

Not smart defensive play if you watch the replay and concentrate on her movements (or lack of) when the goal was scored.

I heard Auckland Utd have signed her for the 2026 season.

Still would still be showing as registered for Wellington United from the WNL. And her International Transfer would be sorted too.
Anyone else thinking of staying up to even watch a bit of the game tonight? I am thinking I might do just first half. Unless I end up so tired that I just can't stay up.

I will give it my best effort to watch this one.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!
The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

COYN! Also good evening well good morning to those who are also watching live!
Pretty much all the Nix so far. One off the post, one cleared off the line. Unfortunately our attack doesn't have much structure and sort of consists of whacking it into the middle and hoping for the best. That said a concrete hard pitch is making structured football very difficult.
Cross fingers this doesn't turn into one of our traditional 1-0 losses.

And there it goes. Perth score directly from a corner and the Nix are behind.
Bugger me it's hard being a Nix fan.

Even allowing for heat and the lateness of the game that's a disastrous loss against a very average Perth. Lots of energy in our front third but almost zero creativity or combination play.
Couple of good saves from their keeper, ours couldn't manage to keep out the only effort that even faintly challenged our goal.

That's such bs. The ref adds 5min when one injury just before the 90 took about 5min and there were quite a lot of other stoppages, and then blows basically at 95min.
Two toe hackers in Samba and Elliot squandered multiple chances when you just need an extra touch and some finesse.
Embarrassing defeat to a very ordinary Perth side

First half - one million attacking set pieces but every one ended up magnetically at the boot of a Glory defender to hoof it away.
Second half - actually started to create clear cut chances, but of course we still couldn't put them on fudgeing target. Aaaaand concede a very sharkty goal.
Facts are - we have 3 goals in 5 games. Forget any excuses, we will not be anywhere near playing finals if we keep this up. It demands dramatic improvement immediately.

So another loss, only one win this season and now near the bottom of the table. Not quite what everyone was expecting.
Its not panic stations yet but they really need to notch up a couple of back to back wins or the top of the table will get away from them.

Oh dear. Didn't see the the game. But that result will haunt the team on there long trip home.
What a rotten start to the season. Injuries absences and the away game boggie continues.

Quite simply they have little composure in front of goal. There were some appalling misses.
Can we get in a coach to work specifically on finishing? Or do we already have an attacking coach? Even someone from the men’s side to spend a few hours with our attacking players. Is Greenie still around? Or Ifil? Jose Figuera is available now too and worked with the female team at Western Springs with good results in the past.

Even with the injuries the women's team really have been disappointing.
GET YOUR SHIRTS OFF FOR THE BOYS
The team looked great on paper in pre-season. I hope they can turn it around and get on a run.
Coach?
Jeez, I could coach them on finishing. But what they really need is practice - using both feet,and head, balls coming at them from all directions, hitting first time or taking a touch and transferring to the other foot, following the foot through after they struck the ball, keeping balance and core strength....hours and hours of it.

Was Esson in goal for that corner? It was shocking goalkeeping.
She was.
