Like most other Wellington sports teams the Phoenix seem to be going out of their way to frustrate their addicted fans!
Going into injury time at the end of the fixture with the table-topping Central Coast Mariners at 1-1, and after having the better of the second half, it looked like the Nix would leave the capital with 1 point. But no, some how our defenders gifted the Mariners striker an absolute lolly - which he duly guided into the goal for a 2-1 Mariners win. (video of the goals below)
This leaves the Nix in an uncomfortable position - seventh. Since our 4-1 win over Perth three weeks ago, we have lost three on the trot. We now have three away games. Which is why it was vital to get at least a point out of the Mariners clash.
Phoenix will need to pick up points in all three games now to avoid falling off the pace.
Granted, this is nothing like the Knights and the Nix are still in the running. But the honeymoon is well and truly over and its time to start putting things together out on the pitch.
On a high note - what about marquee signing, Ahmed Elrich's, strike from 30 metres out to equalise!?!?!
Next up are Adelaide, Perth (the new Knights), and Queensland.
