Despite sitting dead last on the A-League ladder, the Wellington Phoenix men's coach remains bullish about their playoffs chances

Chris Greenacre lost his first game in his latest stint in charge to Sydney FC - but it was an improved performance ... especially next to the previous result, that horrendous 5-nil hiding dished out at home by Auckland FC, that saw the departure of coach Giancarlo Italiano.

Greenacre insists making the top-six finals places is still achievable.



The Phoenix need to start winning again if they're to make the playoffs, starting with Adelaide United away tonight, at 9.35pm.
