Squad1 Nov 2027

Tempers go at Team Wellington

Walter Scott was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout1 Nov 2027

The manager makes an example of Corey Hollman

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

A step back for Matthew Acton at Team Wellington

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

The dugout1 Nov 2027

Marko Stanojević has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Team Wellington will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market1 Nov 2027

Still no ink between Team Wellington and Angus Kilkolly

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Team Wellington, another week without a signature from Angus Kilkolly.

Words at Team Wellington training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Hayden Henry is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Words exchanged at Team Wellington

Walter Scott and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Matthew Acton signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Matthew Acton and Team Wellington agree another 1 years.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Corey Hollman falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad16 Aug 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jake Kirwan

36 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Team Wellington lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Transfer targets16 Aug 2027

Oliver Bell is a medical away from Team Wellington

The deal with Waitakere United is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Words exchanged at Team Wellington

Willem Ebbinge and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad3 May 2027

The knee: Steven Lustica out for 111 days

111 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Team Wellington lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad3 May 2027

Marko Stanojević stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Marko Stanojević and Team Wellington agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 May 2027

A falling-out at Team Wellington

Willem Ebbinge and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Hayden Henry arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Hayden Henry has, at Team Wellington, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

The dugout3 May 2027

The manager makes an example of Walter Scott

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout3 May 2027

When it matters, Willem Ebbinge plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
