Glad Cox got a goal. Whatever you think of his skill and effort on the pitch it’s a huge decision to remain with the club and he should be commended for it.

Muller and family with the fans

Que? We’re only a third through the season and we’re 5 behind the leaders with a game in hand. Plenty of points to be won and dropped by all teams between now and the end of the season. And for a team that has a new coach and a whole bunch of new players, we are in a great position to launch a title challenge.

So can someone actually answer why Lachlan Rose is so hyped? Pretty sure he had no successful dribbles and Ziggy didn’t break a sweat keeping him contained, yet fox sports and especially Speed acts like he’s the Australian Messi. God help us if he ever scores. Pretty sure the entire fox sports commentary team will spontaneously combust.

First home win and clean sheet of the season! 1st wasn't bad, 2nd half very positive, id say we got a 60-70 minute performance tonight. Natta my MOM, he made a fair few last ditch tackles and was quality the whole night, this kid is special. Should've gotten on the score sheet. Unfortunate that Dorrans will miss the next game, however his quality and effort tonight was outstanding, he is now showing how quality he is. That goal for Yeboah will hopefully give him so much confidence. We always talk about "What if Bulut wasn't offside, the confidence it would've given him". No

In and my little girl is a player mascot so pretty excited

Mutch is quality, throw in Dorrans who for me is the 1st name on the teamsheet, plenty of depth and quality up front. CR should know his best 11 soon. We are not near halfway of season done, once this team clicks I think we are the best team in the comp. Excited for the run in

Great little away trip. How the FFA didn’t give a spot to Wollongong is beyond me. Plenty of locals in the stands and a fantastic boutique stadium in a great location. Had that been non-COVID times and an actual Wollongong team, that place would have been packed out. Parking was easy and close, good food and entertainment choices nearby and a beautiful view that maybe tops the Sauce Bottles in Gosford. Just imagine Wollongong and Canberra in the league and the support that they would have received in their communities and from travelling fans. Both very appealing away trips f

24 HAL game against VIC. Two wins in S1, one in S2, one in S4, two in S8. Four home game victories against them in eight seasons. That’s it! And now this one. Considering the stats and how inexperienced/young the team was tonight, no complaints from me. We actually look like a solid, decent football team, the depth of the squad is impressive. A few weeks ago no one knew who Natta was. Now I don’t blink an eye when he is in the starting line up. Very happy for Ziegler, solid game. With Tass and Dylan Mc out his performances will be crucial in the next weeks. Very happy for Kwame

Just returned from the game. Great fun despite the result. I think some are being a bit harsh on Natta. Sure, he was targeted today but on the most part, he did his job. He covered most of what was thrown at him and almost always forced the ball back inside rather than let his opponent get away from him. Some people forget he is only 18 and has played only 4 A-League games. He has been rock solid in every game. He is cool on the ball whenever he has it at his feet, and is either quick to feed it off to his DM's or spread it wide to his winger, or if he is further forward, to the AM. His b

Just had Ziggy pop into the hotel where we are staying. Thanked us for our support. As good off the field as he is on it.

Hello darkness my old friend

Oh my god some of the nonsense on here. I get it, people are frustrated we lost. But this stuff about this being a terrible game, we looked like strangers, we look like last year, they were more than one goal better than us, is all pure rubbish. Possession 56% to 44% Shots 26 to 14 Crosses 43 to 7 Corners 19 to 0. We failed to take our chances, and we made some bad mistakes on defence, but if getting twice as many shots off and totally dominating crosses and corners is a terrible performance, well give me that any day. I swear some people think these guys are pla

It feels like in the final third we have a whole bunch of super subs. Everyone looks great coming off the bench against tired legs but when they earn a start they’re ordinary. Cox and Kamau were great off the bench and Ibini has been a good impact player. Never as good starting. Plenty of opportunities for players to step up and claim the starting spots. Been good to see Yeboah improving. Against Macarthur I thought he was going to hurt himself every time he got the ball but two goals in two games is hard to argue with. If he can get his decision making sorted (e.g. the Tate through ball

Does Talay have a gig as a Kyle sanderlands impersonater

Agree with most of what people have already said, but I do think the Mack is being a bit harsh on Cox for the goal. I don't believe it was the simplest of headers, as I don't think too many players would have been expecting the ball to come through at head height from where it was played. The ball had quite a bit on it still and I would have thought most players may have been ready for a scramble with the ball coming through on the ground, but not many would have expected it at head height. I thought his reactions were quite good to put it in the corner. I didn't even notice the push on B

There needs to be a minimum number of cameras or something for VAR. In any other league they would have reviewed the handball call with a reverse angle camera shot from the eastern stand. Instead we have Fox using two iPhones in the main stand to film the whole game so the only shot the refs had the players body was blocking the view. Not sure how that garbage was conclusive proof of a clear and obvious error but A-League refs etc... Didn’t matter anyway. From the moment they scored in the 5th minute there was no way we were scoring twice, even if we played them twice. We chop and change

Ok can I join camp negativity? Do you have room for one more? That was really pretty bad

Bringing my 10 month old to his first WSW game Saturday Please score 4 in the first half as we probably won't last 90 minutes.

Back at accommodation... How great was Wilmering's dink pass for the goal, great stuff. That other goal was worked straight off the training pitch, always looks amazing when they work in a game. Shyte defending for their second, need to do better. Ibini looked a lost soul, didnt look happy with the world. Disappointing not to take the full 3, but had a great weekend.

Tonight said more about Victory than us. They were awful and with CCM learning how to play football in the offseason I cannot see where they will get a win from. Having said that they are the shitty games you have to win and we did it without being super impressive. Bacchus, Gordon, Zielgler, Russell, Natta all went well as were the subs, Ibini still not convinced. Yeboah well that goal might give him something to go on with. Still think if we bring Duke into that side he scores a hattrick. Geez its nice to finally have some depth in the squad, don't forget that is without Tass, Mueller

There is no better representation of where Yeboah is at in his career than that moment at the end of the game where he was fed through on goal. The last thing on his mind was to curl it far post first time like any reasonable attacking player - instead he ran it straight at the keeper and rolled his ankle cause he lost control of the ball. To cap it all off, he couldn’t even time his run well enough to stay onside in the first place. I actually felt sad for him watching that tbh. He is a shell of his former self.

Great game RBB was rocking 2nd half, drowned out the cow bells and think we really helped the team in the last half hour. First half we were average. Got into decent areas but we were crossing to players who were getting towered over by 6 foot 5 giants. Im certain that Oar or whoever it was was offside in the buildup that lead to the corner for their first goal. Don’t think they were particularly good, think we made them look good cause we were crap. 2nd half was really good, we were absolutely all over them. 2 fantastic goals, unlucky not to score 2-3 more and could’ve had 1

You wanted consistency for 90 minutes? You got it. That was a truly sh!thouse performance in both halves.

If I had to summarise our season using a single GIF - it would be Troisi and Mutch kicking the **** out of each other going for the same ball

I hate breaking games down to the cliched “passion and desire” thing but it looked like Adelaide got stuck in more. Every chance we had they scrambled to stop it. Their first goal was partly because Yeboah didn’t shut down the shot with any conviction. The second was after we let Halloran walk through the box then Mauk take a touch without McGowan closing him down. For the third Baccus should have brought the player down and taken the yellow. Referee completely lost control of the Adelaide time wasting. I’ve never seen a keeper make the referee blow the whistle of four separate occas

I take my hat off to Coxy. It must be very emotional for him at the moment, having decided to pursue his career in a distant country and not being there to be part of the experience being with his first newborn, and just being able to hold that baby. I'm not sure I could have done it. An amazing sacrifice, just to play for our club. Kudos.

I’m not a Lucy zelic fan in the slightest, but I’ll support anyone firing rockets at Brenton Speed

The Middlesbrough FC manager Neil Warnock flies to Baghdad to watch a young Iraqi boy play soccer. He is suitably impressed and arranges for him to come over and sign for Middlesbrough . Two weeks later they are 3-0 down with only 20 minutes left, the young Iraqi gets the nod and on he goes. The lad is a sensation, scores 2 goals, sets up another 2 in 20 minutes and wins the game for Boro. The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are delighted and the media love the new star. When the lad comes off the pitch he phones his mum to tell her about his first day in the Championship

First half rubbish. Second half brilliant. We are going to get better and better as the season goes on and can do some damage in this comp.

I believe Mack already covered that by saying there is a WSW game taking place.

It ended after 90 minutes.

Let me preface this by saying I've not really got a football brain, but surely we need to stop rotating players week in week out trying to find a magic "formula" and just run with something till we've bedded down some kind of flow and intuition between players. The focus is too heavy on individual performance and not toward cohesiveness. I've noticed there's a lot of miscommunication and no one seems to know "who's on first, what's on second" on many occasions (which makes the opposition look like Barca), and I wonder if that's because week in week out there's a different front third or

There are people on here saying we're worse than last year. And you said that Adelaide were more than a goal better than us. Both of those things are blatantly not true. Who's burying their heads in the sand? There are plenty of reasonable comments on here about why things aren't working, but not too much discussion about them. People are too busy saying the players don't care. We dominated possession, crosses, corners, balls into the box, and shots on goal. Man when they start trying the other team won't ever be able to get the ball! You're complaining about the club's cut

This group would be very welcome at one of our games. They were great.

So that northern terrace support is a Mexican community support for Davila they started last week. If the below article is accurate its literally he met one person that is Mexican-Australian who put a call out to the community. In the crowd there were lots of jerseys from Mexico, Tigres and Guadalajara . https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/a-league/124203456/wellington-phoenix-captain-ulises-davila-feeling-the-love-from-mexican-fan-club If anything this proves there is still a large Football community none of the 3 Sydney clubs are engaging with, because these fans are not affilia

Carl Robinson "We threw 2 points away today"

Considered a win by phoenix, a loss by wanderers.

Just a quick reminder that Federici is the "best goalkeeper in A-League history" lol

7 games now without conceding a goal from open play

Carlo got the subs right Wilmeringn having a left foot gave us width. Doherty gave us a load of energy in the midfield That is the worst victory side I’ve seen at parramatta though ziegler did well tonight as did all the back three

Not according to Speed, it was immaculate and like playing on carpet.

Oh and we schooled the Bulls on active support in that last 20min!

We where lucky, but for all their attacking spaniards and their brittany spears messi, they could only score from set pieces using two guys that are over 6.5 feet tall marked by short arses.

It sure is. Excruciating Exasperating Terrible Shite Woeful Awful

Ziegler’s distribution from the back is pretty impressive I think he probably has the best distribution skills out of the our centre halves His defence is picking up and hopefully will improve as time goes on. to think we still have duke Muller and Mitch to add in to this team we have a squad that can win that dreaded toilet seat.

Who would’ve though five years ago that they’d be asking you to cover your face at a WSW game 😂

Have to say I enjoy watching these.....lol

Yeboah makes me miss sotirio
