PS v Wairarapa United | Wed 24 Jul | 5:30PM | Trusthouse Stadium, Masterton

I'm about 98% sure it's happening

You'd have to be braver than me to head out there given the weather forecast today.

It's not terrible right now in Whitby so I'll just hold out hope that I don't come home drenched. Although I've just seen the weather forecast and chances are that'll be the case. Hopefully the clubrooms are open.

A wet day at football is still better than a good day at work 

Anybody have any news? Last I heard was that McCowatt scored but that was a while ago

Heard its 2-0 about 20min ago. No details though

2-0 finished 

McCowatt and Waine

Anyone have starting squad info for both teams?

Apparently none of our Visa players played 

Rufer had a pen saved.

WPX (4-2-2-2) Marinovic Hudson-Wihongi, McGing, DeVere, Cacace Rufer, Payne Devlin, McCowatt Sotirio, Waine

Taylor, Ball and Davilla all rested. Same formation as last week. 

Marinovic, Hudson-Wihongi, McGing, DeVere, Cacace, Rufer, Payne, Devlin, McCowatt, Sotirio, Waine was the lineup.

Looks like we used the game to practice playing against the big teams. Focus was mainly on full team defence and we let Wests have most of the ball. 

No real stand-outs today. Hard to play in those conditions. But I thought Devlin was a lot better than he was against Wairarapa (still nowhere near looking like a Burgess improvement like Piney was saying) and Sotirio was really really average.

Terrible pen. Slow, down the middle and at the height keepers love. There’s one name to cross off the penalty taker list.

tbf Burgess didn't really kick on till the second half of the season so Devlin does have the potential to be an improved Burgess

Roofs will never score a nix goal at this rate!

Tim Payne used to have the knack of scoring goals.

If they are actually DM's, then not really their jobs is it? If an 8 or a b2b mid then sure.

Phoenix doing their annual game against Kapiti on 1st September. Donations going to Kapiti Special Olympics and Kapiti Youth Services. https://kcu.co.nz/phoenix-day-2019/

What about Roy Keane, no goal in Turin, no Champions League Final, no triple Crown, everyone can score, even Taylor last year.

I think we can hope that our goals (other than the ST's) will come from the wide CAM's and DeVere/Taylor from set pieces tbh

Sure, but it's not an expectation.

It isn't. But it is nice when they do.

Will the Nix play another friendly soon?

Heard talk of a combined Mar/Bubbles side in a fortnight

Team Wellington then?

shouldn't that be Mar \ Olympic and Wests then? ;-)

Always a good game..usually cycle down from Pram Beach as its close and hard to get carpark sometimes.
