Round 2: Mariners v Nix

[style_cafe]

Game day and the anticipation is building. We’ve had a long and intensive preseason, but with the false start last week and the travelling to NZ, hotels etc. Monty will have to make sure the heads are all switched on. Vukovic is the key to our defence & i’m sure he’ll be up for a first start win as captain.The CUMDINGO needs a massive start to the season to stake a claim in the Socceroos. A first up hat trick would get Arnies attention

After last week I’m more excited for today, early kick is even better. Hoping the lads are more excited too and keen to put on a show, extra week surely puts cumdog back starting and maybe kelechi is that bit fitter to start with Kaltak. Maybe Tulio too.

won’t be easy but we can definitely beat the nix. We have more attacking weapons. Shut down Kraev and win the aerial battle with Zawada will go a huge way. Pay serious attention to Waine also.

It’s not raining in Wellington is it?……….

John starting, I'm excited to see him in action.

Also Roux for Aquilina.

Probably our strongest possible team we could put out today. Very excited

 

[shipwreck]

Ruhs and Tulio are the wildcard subs, they can chance the game which is exactly what you want.

I'd love to still have Hatch on the bench to change things late in the game

Cant get a game for Perth I notice

 

[Yorkshire Mariners FC]

Danny saved Ballard there.

 

[PatientMariner]

Kiwi commentators are the worst! ?

 

[shipwreck]

Lol atleast they gave us a shout out

 

[shipwreck]

Even if it sounded like a paid promotion from the railway hotel ?

 

[shipwreck]

Wellington's game plan obvious.

Strikers sit deep when our defenders have the ball, tempting them to knock it around, then press with urgency.

 

[shipwreck]

Hope Silvera gets better than this

 

[FFC Mariner]

Hope Silvera gets better than this

Keeping up his Jets form. Exposing Fazz which is a worry.

 

[Yorkshire Mariners FC]

Our much promoted attack has not started well at all sadly. Cummings doing well but not a lot of movement. Playing into that simple Wellington game plan.

 

[shipwreck]

That was a soft af yellow....

Have a bad feeling this game is going to be decided by a red card tk us

 

[shipwreck]

How the f**k is that a foul..... Seriously he out jumped the striker

 

[true believer]

street fight with a card happy ref , funny about that

 

[shipwreck]

Ayongo needs to watch himself, red card waiting to happen
