Wellington Phoenix vs Western Sydney Wanderers 24/04/2022 3:05PM

I know some here went to a game in NZ once, it's on my bucket list too.

This would have been perfect, Easter school holls.

One day. Don't mind if it is in Wellington or Auckland. Maybe next season is the one where Mack can bring back the away trip part of the forum eh.

So we've won six games now. The first four wins were each followed up with a loss. The fifth win against Adelaide was followed up with a draw in the return leg. Are we gunna get more of the same or can we at last be rewarded with back to back wins? At least we are hard to beat now with only one loss from our last seven games.

This is probably the hardest game to call. The Nix have gone from supremely amazing to wooden spoon performance in the last month from game to game, and we are back to old habits of finding ways not to win. Probably have to give to the Nix on this one  being at home and us traveling from Sydney>Wellington>Perth>Sydney over the next week Rudan will play defensive and conservative looking to not lose. Where as the Nix absolutely need to win.

Fully expect the Nux to bounce back after their loss to CCM and beat us in NZ.

Plus all the Nix fans would be fired up to cheer on their team and get one over on Rudan

Me too, we'll probably lose to Glory after the Nux too.

we are hard to beat, we very rarely have a heavy defeat. Its more the case we shoot our selves in the foot. in saying that i reckon it will be 1-1.

Rudan does a toe count pre game. Anyone with more than two on each foot gets a gig.

4-0 win

Hat trick

"Margush trio of own goal ends Wanderers season".

What's a Margush hat trick? A howler three games in a row?

Im playing at the same time so can't watch the game 

So bang on 3-0 win 

I'm a curse 

Sorry but not sorry as the kids these days say

Can't watch either now that I am appointed (refereeing) to a game at starting 1.00pm.

Hopefully your anti-curse is the cure for the teams woes.

Wonder if Mrcela will be fit. Not a nice injury is a calf. Usually see those in Over 35 men's games.

Feels so weird to be watching an A-League game at 1pm on a Saturday.

Plus, the Wanderers NPL squad play at 7pm tonight 

So...I'll be trying to watch both games.

1pm kick off Sunday games have been normal in England for a while, especially in the championship.

Sometimes the derby games that might cause trouble they make 1pm kick off's.. before the pubs open lol

1 pm Aus time....3 pm Kiwi time.

This is way too early to be watching A-League.

And you just know he's going to get used again.

Rudan was asked after the game if it was going affect how he used Margush going forward. That answer was a very direct no.

Prendegast was meh, but he made far less errors in his 5 games than Margush does in the same time span.

I played goalkeeper in my uni futsal team, I'd do a better job than Margush and I'm probably half his height

Especially our games. As you need to be 3/4 full of drink form the start of kick off to watch us.

This was definitely a concern of mine.

I've got a big family get together happening on Sun, so will aim to be at 3/4s by kick-off

@Wanderingbeersclub is about 5ft even. We used him in goals in a preseason game about 10 years ago for a laugh. Pretty sure he had more command of his 6yd box than Margush

Is the line up available yet?
