The decision making by Wellington attack is terrible

I lost a tip on these guys

On Reddit and facebook everyone is saying this will be a walk in the park for the bergers, predicted scorelines are 5-0 for HU. Wellington sitting at $4 bucks for the win on sportsbet. Talk about being written off.

Seems they knew what they were talking about.

Made light work of wsw and now Wellington lol. Deserve to take it all out.

The gap has narrowed between the leagues. It will still be a cold day in hell before pro/rel or even playing in the same league occurs.

Nixs are so woeful, the new striker we have is crap.

1,500 attendance wished it was more

crowd of 1547 at the game.

That is a terrible attendance for a cup quarter final.

Eze is so pants, cant believe Wellington brought him in.

I always think the cupsets in the first round are a bit ho hum. ALM sides basically putting in academy sides plus a few just days back in training first team squad. Later in the pre-season like this it is really impressive but really with John A it was always on the cards.

 

[NoMates]

4-0!!

 

[Beretta]

4-0 lol

Biggest scoreline for an NPL side beating an A-League team.

A League sides have been training since July. Wanderers had a full side and Heidelberg made them look like chumps. And now this at 4-0. I ain't buying the excuses.

 

[melbcityguy]

This is the best argument for p and r I have seen. Wellington deserve punishment for this and Heidelberg deserve to be praised

Still pre season for the A league teams, and you can certainly tell, with the lack of effort.

Remember it is only one league difference, not three or four. But, well done and well played Heidelberg.

I really can’t see how Chiefy can keep a job after this.

Finished 12th last year, underwhelming recruitment and now getting thumped by an NPL side

 

[NoMates]

Good game, Bergers def the better side and Wellington pathetic.

That was my point - RD 32 often starts a week after teams are back and recruitment hasn't started for the ALM teams so you can understand an upset or two. 4-5 weeks later no such excuses.

On merit, yes. But could they survive with just 1,500 turning up? That's the big question. Probably need at least double that.
