Central Coast Mariners Squad 2021/22

[Michael]

I think Dan Hall is a very capable replacement should either be injured or suspended.

oh I totally agree, big Dan hall fan
Just wondering if we need additional depth there.

Not terrible with a bunch of youth players starting and getting important minutes. Probably not the best picture choice though if you’re talking about youth.

Nice pic of our "youth" boys there - Urena and Ollie

I don't want to teach Monty to suck eggs......but surely now is the time to get minutes into your first 11 and bed down combinations. The last 20 or 30 mins is to give the rookies a run.

Yep - fixed now - I did mean Wellington won.

I am sure he has a solid plan for his first eleven.

He also needs to give the others game time, keep them motivated and have them fit enough to be pushing the others.

All part of squad management and keeping everyone settled and happy.

This, Monty is big on development of all players in the squad, so none fall behind unnecessarily meaning competition for spots is maintained.

The boys play Sydney this weekend in preparation for Blacktown and I am sure Monty will field his strongest team for that as final preparation.

This will be an interesting trial as Sydney have trialled very well and I don’t think they have conceded. Will be a good litmus test.

Behind closed doors again?

Behind closed doors again?

Yes sadly

 

[Tevor]

Yes sadly

Makes it really difficult to judge how teams are preparing/looking for the upcoming season and we haven't seen many A League teams in the FFA Cup either. At least some FFA Cup games are coming up soon so we can get a look at us and more of the competition. Otherwise it's a real mystery.

Understand COVID restrictions, costs of running game days etc but thought enabling a limited number of fans into somewhere like Pluim would be beneficial to all parties. I’d pay $10 to go and watch.

Agree and pre C19 there was some pre season friendlies you could attend. I recall watching us play at Knox Grammar against the Nix one year.

A certain somebody was at pocket bar in Terrigal today. I'll give you a clue...he can drink more resches than you.
