Squad29 Oct 2035

Angus Thurgate 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.

Squad29 Oct 2035

Tim Johnston 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 Western Sydney Wanderers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Marcus Edwards stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Marcus Edwards and Western Sydney Wanderers agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout29 Oct 2035

Angus Thurgate has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Western Sydney Wanderers 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.

Match27 Oct 2035

Thomas Doyle rescues a point for Western Sydney Wanderers

It needed Thomas Doyle to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Brisbane Roar, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Alou Kuol asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout29 Oct 2035

Half-satisfied: Oscar Edwards on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Thomas Doyle, 19, is the weekend’s best young player

Measured against every other kid in the division and first among them. The senior award is where Western Sydney Wanderers would like this to lead.

Jesse Taylor gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match20 Oct 2035

Nowhere to hide for Western Sydney Wanderers

1‑5 against Melbourne Victory, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

The dugout22 Oct 2035

Raphaël Oyemah: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Western Sydney Wanderers have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market22 Oct 2035

Dean Walsh 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 Western Sydney Wanderers can pretend not to have heard.

Market22 Oct 2035

Darren Beath is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Western Sydney Wanderers is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Boardroom22 Oct 2035

Oscar Edwards signs on for the long haul

Western Sydney Wanderers moved before anybody else could: a new deal for Oscar Edwards, agreed quietly and announced loudly. Boards extend managers for many reasons; the good one is the one this looks like.

Match20 Oct 2035

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Western Sydney Wanderers and Melbourne Victory in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Boardroom22 Oct 2035

5 academy graduates step up at Western Sydney Wanderers

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Angus Thurgate 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.

Words exchanged at Western Sydney Wanderers

Raphaël Oyemah 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.
