  • King Mitch Rocket Lifts Wanderers To Top

    By mack

    One of the best goals in the history of the Wanderers from Mitch Nichols has put the club on top of the A-League after an outstanding 2-1 win over the Brisbane Roar in Parramatta tonight.

     

    A match that lived up to the billing where the winner would go top of the league, the Wanderers came out and dominated the first half. Mark Bridge opened the scoring in the 29th minute after taking advantage of some wonderful lead up play from Andreu. The Spanish midfielder wriggled clear of several defenders before launching an attack through Romeo Castelen. Castelen jinked and weaved through the Roar defence, his cutback for Vidosic took a deflection that put the ball into the path of Bridge who couldn't miss from a few meters out.

     

    Jamie Maclaren equalised luckily for the Roar 5 minutes later. Alberto was shoved by his opponent, being put off balance and not being able to collect the ball cleanly, Broich put a ball through to a potentially offside Maclaren, and despite Topor-Stanley getting back in cover, his shot took a fluke deflection off Topor-Stanley's toe that put the ball over Andrew Redmayne.

     

    With the Wanderers standing solid in defence while the Roar took advantage of some biased officiating to maintain loads of pressure on the home side, Mitch Nichols produced a moment of magic to break the deadlock. Nichols took a short pass from Jamieson, rode one challenge to create room, then launched a dipping, curling strike from well outside the edge of the box that gave Jamie Young no chance at all.

     

    The win put the Wanderers clear on top of the A-League, with a chance to go even further clear if they can beat Melbourne Victory in what should be a blockbuster match next week in Parramatta.

    its like you speak another language

    cracker

     

     

    Kiama and Raymond terrace?

     

    They really mean it when they say Sydney is expanding.

     

    Soon I'll find I've never left the joint!

    Maybe Wollongong could be considered as the 3rd Sydney Team then? :D

    yes Wollongong would raise the standard of the a league as would south Melbourne

    What about that strike from Mitch. What about those Wanderers!

    not King Mitch more like ronaldo 2.0

    What is the

    Population of western Sydney I wonder

    I googled it its 1.9 million 700k speak another language apart from English therefore surely there's room for 2 western Sydney's

    Imagine a west derby how fooking cool would that be

     

    I'd rather not. I think our club is perfect for Western Sydney.

     

    Bring in a Shire/Wollongong team as a 3rd Sydney team, market Sydney FC as Inner West/East/North, try to get more of the Hornsby area to follow Central Coast and be done with it I'd say.

    Stuff the 'Shire'... I used to live there (back in the day) and they wouldn't want to support either of a St. George or Wollongong team - too much NRL-based hatred there. They might follow a Wollongong team if there was no other choice, but most seem happy with Sydney FC - and there's nothing wrong with that.

     

    I'd bring in Wollongong or Canberra over another Sydney team.

    That Nichols goal. When it left his foot it was heading for an 045 area code but by the time it had finished bending it was in a 9 prefix.

     

    Jamie Young just had a dial tone.

    He just had no answer when the call came through!

    Yeh me2 ,Newcastle Jets supporters I work with reminded me every 5 minutes,

    I have to ask everybody in general, I want answers, do people that work and live in parramatta accept the Wanderers because I'm out blue mountains way and most people don't even know there's an a league. I ask people did you watch the game there like what game, panthers off season , I'm like wtf

    I think there's heaps of westies who think parramatta is like too eastern suburbs so I reckon there's room for a 2nd westie team

    And these are epl and serie a football people im talking about

    As for the football, Romeo is our new "100 touch" standard bearer (shh, don't tell Taurus), the Spainards bossed the middle again, and I'm pretty excited to see Fathead and Butters duel it out for Golden Boot this year. A grinding result, but at least this year we're grinding wins instead of losses.

    His undeniable talent has not come through on the field very often since the joining the club. I look forward to him proving me wrong in an increasingly blistering fashion as the season progresses.
