    The Wellington Phoenix are striving to keep calm as their tough season approaches make-or-break time

    The Wellington Phoenix are striving to keep calm as their tough season approaches make-or-break time


    The Nix are 10th in the 12-team A-League, but are just two wins away from being in 5th place.

    Under-pressure coach Giancarlo Italiano says they can't react to recent criticism of their form.



    Italiano says he's more than happy to be judged...just not now.
