Wanderers Surrender Lead & 3 Points To Wellington

Ouch.

RBB came through loud and clear last night, excellent effort.

Will be back for the derby!

The game is done. We have to learn from the mistakes, congratulate Wellington and applaud the RBB... we have bigger and better things to take.

DERBY DAY IS COMING!!!!!!

Enjoyed my first ever WSW game last night. I was told your atmosphere was "subdued" last night, but I thought it was superb. It really puts the soulless Premier League to shame, and it's great to see such positive support to your side, regardless of the score.

 

A few observations as an outsider:

 

1) The RBB is up there with the most vocal group of fans I've seen, absolutely superb.

2) was disappointed not to be able to stand in RBB after being told it was sold out, but there was loads of empty seats

3) your ticket prices are superb. Half the price I pay back home, and nufc are the cheapest in the premier league

4) I've never been to a game where such a high % of people were wearing their replica kit. Great to see.

5) great to have a few people come up and have a bit of a chat to us because they were interested in my nufc background

 

All in all, loved it (despite the last 20 mins!) and gutted I won't make another game on my trip.

 

Wellington seem to have this ability to turn a game into absolute **** and make the opposition lower to their level. They did this last night and then when they stepped up a gear we were still asleep. It's almost hypnotic the effect they have on a game. You are very sleeeepy... Then bang! Well done to them though, they're the ones with the 3 points.

 

 

Spot on. The Nix are also the slowest play of set pieces side I have ever seen. They take aaaaagggeeeesss over everything! They time waste from the first minute to the last kick. The game seems to move in slow motion but the time ticks by quickly!

 

I haven't enjoyed a Nix game I have attended yet,

 

their goal keeper took about an hour to kick the ball every single time, was painful

also i think it was great after the match when the players approached the RBB and they started chanting win or lose

any person that leaves early when we are loosing can hand their membership in. It doesn't matter if your in the stands or where. It doesn't matter if there is a naked chick outside calling you to spend the rest of your life with her. if you are there when we win, then you need to be there when we loose. its simple. its not like there is 80 000 people and traffic will be bad. it was ridiculous watching the stands leave early. granted it wasn't heaps, but still disappointing. remember win or loose we will always support you.

Totally agree. It was horrible to see. My bay became half empty just after the Poznan. We should always wait after the game and clap for our lads whether they win or lose. We should always remind them that we're proud of em no matter what

AANNNYYYwayyyyy.... It will be interesting to see how they bounce back mentally from this, and also the MVFC game. They had the 2 games in close succession, with a mixed bag of outcomes. I wouldn't want to be in the video room watching the replay as a team hahah

*Lose 

Sorry haha...

Anyways, it was a bit sad to see some people leaving, especially in the back rows of bay 55. They did not cheer all game even after everyone was telling them to cheer. Then they end up leaving 10 mins early anyway. Very disappointed. Just need to get one of the boys on a megaphone and just yell in their ears until they start cheering like last year. Overall i still had a blast yesterday and no matter what! 

WIN OR LOSE WE WILL ALWAYS FOLLOW YOU!

Don't understand the lose comment. You pretty much said the same thing. It's disappointing to see ppl leave early.

I guess the people who leave early just come to the match for the result, and if "their team" don't get the result - then their thought process is along the lines of: "Well, my team isn't going to win, so why stay?"

What I do find more stupid is people leaving in the 81st or so minute. Did you people not watch Roar v Mariners in a certain Grand Final?

Or a certain trial game when Santalab came on near the death. I think it was Wellungton then also???

Most statistics were even. Possession, passes, goal attempts etc. But there was one statistic that I found interesting considering the final result: Shots on target WSW 6, WPX 3

i starting to think that if we don't shoot at the goal more often, we aren't going to win matches.

100% of the shots you never take don't go in.

You're just the best statistician Gazmon.....LOL

Did you know that 87.89% of statistics are made up?

Actually made me think of this:

I have said on many posts before that our biggest problem is that we cannot shoot on goal. Mark my words this will hurt us come the business end of the season. We had plenty of chances to put the game to rest but the final third is really struggling for that killer punch. 

We need 10 chances to score one goal!!!! Not good enough. 

Finishing practice required...big time.....as has been the problem since our birth!!!

I guess this is true life in the A-League. RBB are loyal and true, but fans of all clubs (the non actives, the non loyals, the 'normals,') will always walk out at the first signs of troubles. As long as the true fans stick there, thats all that matter. Some stooges in our own fan base will always rather walk out than see us lose. Such is life in sport.

please don't start the whole active supporters are better than other supporters ****. from where i was in bay 52, i saw plenty of RBB leaving early as well. 

their will always be a percent of people who will leave early no matter what membership they have bought. 

instead of criticising those who leave early, why not praise those who stayed, sang, supported their team, applauded the players as they left the pitch? 

we're not sydney fc fans, we aren't the cove. 

relax. it was our biggest home defeat ever. some people were bound to be pissed off about it. it happens, and will continue to happen. 

trying to take the high ground and having pot shots at other supporters will lead to a toxic environment like the one that fills allianz stadium.

this, there were a lot of people staying in the stands too, we are all supporters and there is not much difference between everyone in terms of how they choose to support the wanderers, there is no stands vs rbb kinda thing

^^^ This... Stupid comments which try and grade level of support or passion by what part of the stadium you come from is something I would expect from ESFC forumites. Seriously 70's dude I bet you wish you had your time again once you re-read your post.

How about a left field solution to the left fullback problem. There is a stream of thought that D'Apuzzo is not up to the standard of the rest of the team..... our alternatives (Cole and Heffernan are both too slow).  Yet, we have 3 good players fighting for the 2 defensive midfield roles.  Now, remembering that Polenz came to Aus as a defensive midfielder and has since been converted to right fullback.  How about we try Poljak at left fullback and leave Mooy and LaRocca at defensive mids?

Is there a shake head emoticon? Stick that one in here. Second thought stick about 5 of them.

Wait for next preseason to experiment with players in different positions

3 games in 9 days and it showed especially our full backs. I have never seen Polenz be so un influential in a game than yesterday, he was slow getting back. Mooy was terrible. Missed Poljak and Spira big time, Juric had no service all night and our wide men too for that matter.

Best thing about last night Shinji 'Tensai' Ono was oozing class every time he had the ball. Big game for the little man he needed that just in time for these pelicans next week.

It sounds bad but I'm going to interpret that as what you probably meant to say, which is:

"People who truly support the club, as in actively support the club, be it by singing and dancing for at least ninety minutes, or those who give it their all to try to rock up at each and every home game (and some away games), or spread the good word of WSW even if they can't get to games, etc. will stick by.

The bandwagoners will leave at the first sign of trouble. Such is life."

And that, I can agree with.
