Squad

Zach Lisolajski in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Waitakere United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Auckland City join the queue for Callum Smith

Add another name to the list: Auckland City have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Callum Smith. The answer from Waitakere United has not changed — yet.

Squad

Marco Barbarouses has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Waitakere United 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.

Market

Daniel Asante hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Waitakere United can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Waitakere United

Zach Lisolajski 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.

Squad

Chris Boxall has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Waitakere United 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.

Market

Daniel Asante puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Waitakere United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Jai Payne is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Match

Waitakere United are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 14 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Oliver Barbarouses signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Oliver Barbarouses commits to Waitakere United for another 3 years.

Squad

James Payne is the young player of the season

Not a month, not a run of form — a whole season of being the best 21-year-old anybody in this division could put on a pitch. This is the honour that gets mentioned for the rest of his career.

Market

Daniel Asante asks to leave Waitakere United

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
