Squad23 Nov 2026

81 days out for Dane Lockyer after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Auckland City will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match21 Nov 2026

Auckland City win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 90th minute. Waitakere United will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Both of them Ryan De Vries's — 8.57

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.57, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match23 Nov 2026

Auckland City up to position 3

6 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Auckland City

José Luis Miñano 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.

Match21 Nov 2026

Auckland City see off Waitakere United

Three points for Auckland City, 2‑1 the final word against Waitakere United in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Nathan Lobo

“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.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Jordan Vale 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.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Callum Boxall has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Callum Boxall on a 2‑1 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A fracture rules Dane Lockyer out for 88 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Auckland City will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Auckland City lose Adam Mitchell

45 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market16 Nov 2026

Only the photograph left for Jeremy Foo

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Jeremy Foo will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Auckland City the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Auckland City

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

Squad16 Nov 2026

Words at Auckland City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. José Luis Miñano 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.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Dane Lockyer 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.

Loan watch16 Nov 2026

Adam Bell has seen enough of Canterbury United

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Auckland City, and 2 appearances in 13 say he has earned the hearing.

Looking ahead16 Nov 2026

The leaders are next for Auckland City

Waitakere United top the table and they are coming into view. Nothing to lose, which is what every manager says before losing.

Looking ahead16 Nov 2026

A reunion for Ryan De Vries

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Waitakere United in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Dane Lockyer keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Auckland City may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad2 Nov 2026

José Luis Miñano 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 Auckland City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A row about effort at Auckland City

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jordan Vale was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Matt Ellis beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 15. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match31 Oct 2026

Auckland City and Hawke's Bay United take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad2 Nov 2026

The armband comes off Adam Mitchell

Auckland City will explain it as a decision about the team, and it may well be one. A dressing room has never once read it that way.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Callum Boxall: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Adam Mitchell knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Auckland City, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Ryan De Vries moves up the pecking order

Nothing is announced when this happens and everybody knows. He is a bigger part of the plan at Auckland City than he was a month ago, and the training ground worked that out before the team sheet said so.

In brief
