    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.

Agree, I’m not even close to sledging Jacko and Danny. They are trying hard with what they have got which when you take off your rose coloured glasses is a very young inexperienced squad.
Yep. He is more flexible than Monty with formations to suit situations. The slow start last year was with a full squad and a team learning a new manager's philosophy. But that is not the case THIS year. The only negative compared to Monty is that he has no Sergio with connections. So far his imports [Edmo = a dud] and Alfie [jury out but not looking good] haven't been inspiring. I'm interested to see what the January window offers.

I still have hopes for both Edmo and Alfie. Edmo was great towards the end of last season and Alfie's done a few excellent things - here and there.

Hopefully it's just a gelling situation but that YFM match could hardly have come at a worse time.

I think we play too slow to get the best out of kuol and edmo. They are players who need to be played into space early to get onto things.

Our wide guys dribbling all the time, our centre mids taking too many touches and or backs not passing forwards quickly enough kills most chance they have.

Play to the strengths of the players, don't put square pegs in round holes.

Makes me wonder if we got a striker who was good on the ball in tight areas we would just pump it in behind for him to chase.

I was actually really enjoying the game and thought we were a chance to win.

I'd tuned in late, around 50 minutes, and my picture was so bad I thought it was 0-0. Picture cleared up and I didn't pay any attention to the score display until their 4th when I had a glance to see how long we'd have to get back level 😜
