Agree. If we had Monty that squad wins it again
ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. 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!

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.
Whoa now. Let's not get ahead of it. Lost lots of pieces that helped. Defs finals bound.Agree. If we had Monty that squad wins it again
So we'll play entertaining football. Better than 1-0 boresThat squad lets in 4 goals a game at the moment, I guess our only 3 was the Aust Cup. Very leaky and a huge concern. Means we have to score 5 to win.
No way, that’s the English cricket teams mentality with ‘bazball’ “oh well, we’ll throw the kitchen sink at it and we’ll lose heaps but at least it’s entertaining, right?”So we'll play entertaining football. Better than 1-0 bores
Literally how Monty set the team up. Attack attack attackNo way, that’s the English cricket teams mentality with ‘bazball’ “oh well, we’ll throw the kitchen sink at it and we’ll lose heaps but at least it’s entertaining, right?”
Ange ball is about scoring more than the opposition.No way, that’s the English cricket teams mentality with ‘bazball’ “oh well, we’ll throw the kitchen sink at it and we’ll lose heaps but at least it’s entertaining, right?”
Yeah I don’t think anyone is against the attacking philosophy however, defending is still so important.Literally how Monty set the team up. Attack attack attack
Storm doesn’t count, has an Aussie passportVisa players:
Torres
Doka
Tulio
Kaltak
Roux
Is that right or does Storm not count as a visa?
So we didn't even fill all our Visa spots, guessing we spent a fortune on retaining Tulio.Storm doesn’t count, has an Aussie passport
No harm in keeping one up our sleeve especially with the coaching change. And generally I’d rather 3-4 visa players that are quality than getting 5 that are ok.So we didn't even fill all our Visa spots, guessing we spent a fortune on retaining Tulio.
Plus they have brought in Doka, Smith and Paull who can play in the back 4.Danny, Fazz, Kaltak, Storm, Nizzy, Maxi... 6 of 7 starting players with the most defensive responsibilities where here last season keeping clean sheets
Our visa spots weren’t full until mcgarry came in last season.So we didn't even fill all our Visa spots, guessing we spent a fortune on retaining Tulio.
Well, one goal sheets at any rate while we scored two or more. I remember the stat about some substantial drought on clean sheets being brought out several times during the season.Danny, Fazz, Kaltak, Storm, Nizzy, Maxi... 6 of 7 starting players with the most defensive responsibilities where here last season keeping clean sheets
38 to go then…Heard a podcast with McBreen yesterday saying he's mates with Moon and Moon confirmed with him that he's not applied and not been approached
I don't think Hall (form/game reading) or Theo (fitness) are starting quality. I'll have my eye on Hally in particular if they start him. I'm hoping he's had a great preseason and is back to his best, otherwise I see a lot of pine in his future.The squad is decent. The only question would be a starting 11 quality CB. But we have Hall, Windust, Storm, Farrell, Paull and some kids that they obviously feel can fill that spot.
Any news on a Goalkeeper coach?
This is my starting 11.
1. Vuko
Doka. Roux/Hall/Paull. Kaltak. Farrell.
Theo. Maxy . Nizzy . Angel.
Kuol . Tulio.
Paull was brilliant in the Australia cup match, he’d be my first choice for the LCB spot next to KaltakI don't think Hall (form/game reading) or Theo (fitness) are starting quality. I'll have my eye on Hally in particular if they start him. I'm hoping he's had a great preseason and is back to his best, otherwise I see a lot of pine in his future.
Paull might get the starting spot, or Faz with Smith at LB. That'd probably be my preferred option.
The CB question is probably the biggest problem in the squad.
