    Wellington Phoenix coach Giancarlo Italiano is asking for patience as he shapes his new-look team


    The Nix encounter three-time A-League champions the Mariners on the Central Coast this evening...striving to bounce back from a 2-nil derby loss to Auckland FC in the Capital.

    Giancarlo says this season's squad is still at an early stage of its evolution.



    Kick-off in Gosford is at six o'clock.
