Looking forward to finally seeing the Ugarkovic and Lewis midfield pairing in action!

Be great to see Waine score again. Making it hard for Talay not to pick him going forward.

Big crowd and 3 points in the bag today please lads.

Looking forward to this Lewis/Ugarkovic partnership in midfield too. This looks to be pretty much close to our best XI on the park so really want us to knock them over today.

COYN! 🟡⚫

That's an incredibly soft yellow card.

Decent start so far. We look more threatening, and a couple of decent sighters on goal.

Mariners still working into their season of course, but it's a good start, that & we've got John & Ayongo with yellows.

We should have created some good looks if not a goal here already.

We defend our own attacking opportunities better than the mariners do, every time we about to break, we stop suddenly and go back.

Fantastic ball protection and lay off from Waine there. Another sign of how much his game has stepped up this season.

Zawada seemed to have front position. If anything it's just a foul, not a yellow.

Persistent fouling from CC and we get one of those. Irritating.

 I think foul was for the afters, kicked the ball away and had a few words for the ref

Not liking the body language of our front 4 some good play, but seem to be getting the pip with each other a bit. Gotta calm it down, play the percentages and we win this if we keep up these chances.

Amateur defending.

Three for me, and two for them.

Is there not a camera angle for the offside? That’s piss poor, even if it’s a webcam ffs, get something square.

Lucky I think....more off our player but maybe favours defender over attacker in ruling

Ludicrous. Everything I hate about VAR, even if it did work in our favour. Excellent goal, no one on the ground disputing it, it gets ruled out after 5 minutes of umming and ahhing.

Was a good goal by cumdawg, but always easy to score when you are a couple of feet offside under no pressure.

surprised we arent using Zawada's height more than playing him in.  He is not really a striker... more a target with Waine and Kosta running off him more?

Made all the more easier by having our backline just standing still and watching the ball drop to him. Even though the goal was chalked off that was very, very poor defending.

Who’s our outfield captain? Stevey Taylor stuff. We’ve got a lot of quiet players out there at the moment.  We need someone out there geeing the boys up, picking up the tempo, letting them know to go again, we’ll get the next one.
Zawada and Waine in their own heads a bit imo, despite some bright play. Kosta, Kraev and Ugarkovic have been good. 
We keep attacking the way we have been and we win this. It just needs that conviction, that certainty that we’re guna do it. 
Also damn Vuckovic is just good!

Bar for their disallowed goal CCM didn't manage a single shot. How ate people having a go at our D?

Lot of bad option taking on attack 
CC is too mouthy, wanna put the ball in the back of their net two or three times and go home! 
Cmon Phoenix!

Finally used Zawada for what he is good at I think.

What a ball from Ugarkovic.
Waine is a sublime finisher. You feel he's going to have a massive season ahead.

Go boys!
