Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

Still very young and obviously they will have learnt a bucket load these past two years. Might go against the grain a bit with some, but I expect they will actually both be very good in a couple more years. Both solid athletes, good work ethic, would like to see all the pain of their learning curve translate to having a great pairing for at least two seasons. But I don't see that occurring for another 2 or so...

Wee mac is returning from injury... Finkler from a leave of absence... so hopefully not at their best.

With us MV and Roar all this week, they will be seeing us as a must win. Will pressure very hard and look to pounce... today needs to be the day we don't pass to the opposition and take our opportunities if we're to be getting a win.

Any lineup news yet?

Yeah just went and looked - but on my phone and don't know how to post it.
Interesting.

Sadly Tav not even on bench.
Trent on bench - pain and Kubi in.
Powell on bench with presumably Fab coming central.

Looks like Paolo has liked what Fab has done past couple of times when deployed there. I agree with him.

Edit* thx BA

Before people go haywire, thinking Kubi for Trent is partly about handling Welly physically.

Trent coming on last 30 will have them shitting themselves. They'd have hacked Trent to pieces for first 45 for sure. Kubi they will find this much harder to do to though. Gee I like Okon.

Trent has been good but have liked having either Pain or Trent as a spark for last 30mins

Just saw Ashcroft on bench

Liam as CB

Agree, Fab looks better in the middle of the park, with the younger, faster guys out wide.

Here's to the archer doing something special today

Not quite sure what to think of this lineup... Could be super-exciting or could be a disaster...
A bit worried about young Rose in CB though...

Oh yeah shit, rose into CB aswell.

Much better passer and liked him there before he was sent that game.

This should help us play out and handle the pressure better.

I'm loving it - won't be what they were expecting. see solid reasoning behind all the changes. Berry deserves to keep his spot. Trent may seem odd, but Pain should be on the left and I think Kubi has been solid every time he's been on and this is a good game to start him. Despite all the naysayers Fab has clearly been more effective centrally than Powell when deployed there. And yeah sure he's no true ten, but he can hold the ball better than anyone on the team barring Tav if he has a mind. We need this if we want to keep possession.

I reckon their main plan for route to goal would have been to apply strong pressure and pounce on the counter... rose and fab centrally should help with this.

Galloway against Kosta will be a big one for us I think. If he can win that battle I can see us keeping them relatively quiet.

Game time! Fire up farken!! :fireup:

Appiah would want to prove something to his old club and ThatBoyTrent apparently had ice on his hammy after the game. I can see Paul Okon's reasoning I hope it works.

Fox coverage. Wtf. Most of those who care avout your pre match are going to the game already. This is disgraceful.

Just one more reason we need the stadium etc... small clubs will never be looked after.

Ah here we go.., nine minutes till kick off.

Started talking about us at 530... 533... cut to commercial.

Analysis... Connor Pain should run at them. Brilliant stuff.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Fab RM too - expect he will play inside,
