I like Ball for his work rate, but Fark me he can’t finish at all…

 
15 goals in 99 games definitely proves why he didn’t score that

Payne is goated this season

Payne reborn! 

Once more the magician creating chances in nosebleed territory.

Enjoying this so far. City waiting you feel. 

Kosta should've shot but lovely steal anyways

We should have got one of these.

We’re playing well should’ve had one but feel it’s coming so no need to panic

Someone needs to take the shot. Come on guys, you know Zawada isn't on the field!

Some beautiful turns from Kraev and Rufer in the first 10 minutes but I just hope none of the spurned chances come back to bite us

Al-Talay on Ugarkovic! No macho tackle, but wins the ball.

Giving up cheap possession now. A good run initially, but a bit tired from Payne.

Good clever work from LKH to win that corner.

Payne getting tired. His second turnover.

Come on Phoenix!

How many amazing chances can we create without scoring?

This is fun!
Kosta is good!

Nothing quite drives up the blood pressure like a ball pinging around the other team's goal and no one can quite get a good foot on it. Missing that Zawada edge there.

Anyone got an online link? I currently don't have access to Sky Sport/Go or Bein Sports Connect.

Day and night between this and our last outing against a Melbourne side. Decent watch.

Good to see the boys aren't taking a backward step against a good City side.

We should have at least one goal at this point though, going off what we've created so far.

Enjoying Spoonley’s commentary! Dry little jabs here and there.

Surman/Wooton doing great work back there today.

Oooh Kosta so close!

Loving the cheers for tackles! That’s a team in a good headspace.

Great save from Paulsen on that free kick. That would have been a killer goal on the cusp of H/T.

Impressive half from us: made chances, defended well. Unfortunately that nasty little pessimist inside me can't help but think eventually City will unlock us with the tiny moment of class that we lack.

Has someone got that piece of quality above and beyond? Been very impressed with our play. 

Wonder what Mr Foley makes of the wind! 

Does anyone have an online link?

WE've certainly had the better chances this half, just need one of those togo in. Kosta and Ball should gave scored. Payne and Kelly-heald look great out wide, iwll be interesting if Payne sees the rest of the game out.
Defensively we look solid, Paulsen, Surman and Wooten standing up to the threats that Melb C offer.

It’s free to air on Sky Open (channel 15 on freeview). If you’re in NZ….

Get In!!!!
Al-taay, Rufer delivers to Ball who find Kraev!
too easy!

Cracking cross?? From kosta!! Surprised he didn’t take the shot but who cares, we lead bitches!!!

KRAEV!!!!!!
Lovely goal. Superb ball from Al-Taay to get it in the box.

Come on lads, we've got this!!!

Beautiful teams goal.  Al Thay, Ball and Kraev beeeeeeautiful

What a goal! 

We have to make the most of this result. No idea how long City will be this fragile this season, so a second (and third) goal is essential

how on earth did that miss?
should have been called for offside i think though,

Holy what a save from LKH

Paulsen owes Kelly Heald a beer

Very impressed with Pennington's 60 min shoft so far,

Thank god Ball made that pass, or we never would have scored!
