Around The Bloc

Undefeated since December 2018 in the Sydney derby! Big performance from the team means we still have a chance at making the six - but we have really no room for errors. Riot squad returns, Bobo impersonates Baggio and Shaun Evans needs to know what the "no" hands mean.

We didn't get a Victory. Fold the club.

We really need a win, ay...

Read that title, we drew again this time against Adelaide.

Continuing the trend of neither winning nor losing matches, we had two stalemates against Brisbane and the Central Coast where our play wasn't the best but one player came in to almost save the days. We've got the most goalkeeper saves and defender clearances in the league and we still have no idea what our midfield is doing (P.S. Don't sell Tass).

That was hard to take. A 4:1 loss to a clearly better team when we thought we would have at least put up a fight, but we were in a shell the whole 90 minutes. Brisbane awaits then the old enemy the Mariners a few days later: proper 6-pointer weekend.

A win sure feels good, especially when you've backed up from a win only a few days before that. Many were weary of seeing whether this team could go again and they went there alright - a dominant 3:0 win against Perth Glory. Offsides didn't hinder us as we scored three legal goals and could have been more, but we didn't concede and now we go to Melbourne with confidence.

Nick drops his views on talk of people not wanting Duke back at the Wanderers.

Holy s*** - we're still discussing how that game unfolded and how it ended up the way it did. Tats, Stephen and Nick go through that epic match along with all the drama and banging goals that were or weren't seen. Some say VAR needs to stay, some say go, all we know is that it the right VARking call was made. ATBit live reactions WSWvWEL

Amazing what some tough love can get you. A win away from home, a clean sheet and some confidence boosting performances from some of our slacking players.

Two back to back loses spells warning signs for the Wanderers with the other teams playing catch-up and climbing the ladder. An away trip to Western United this Sunday is crucial for us to stay within the top 6 and regain our confidence.

A slow first half but much better second half only has us come away with a draw after a frantic 2:2 result. Set-piece marking, midfield depth and confidence players all come up in this full team ATB. 

6 games undefeated, third in the league and looking good in the second half, we look back at the two games against Macarthur and the Victory.

The team are divided at the return of Mitch Duke. Also discussed is the draw against Newcastle, our luck or knack of conceding penalties and look ahead to the local paddock derby against Macarthur. 

An okay showing in the Sydney derby and a win against a rough Mariners means we have 4 points from 6 in our last two matches. Are we seeing a pattern from our lads and is there more to our games so early in the season?

Grit and determination got us three-points away to Newcastle (so did two goals to be fair). Undefeated in our last four matches against Sydney FC, we have a chance to make that five this weekend.

Discussing our not so bad performance against the new Macarthur Bulls where we fought until the end - no bull.

Just like CJ in GTA: San Andreas says; "ah s***, here we go again". A new season, new manager, new players but same attitudes. What do we make of this team and does it have enough to mount a salad platter or toilet seat challenge? 

Turner, Nick, Josh and Stephen return for part two of the WSW season review.
