Wasnt he ever. Completely disinterested by the look of it.

One thing to play contracted players in an NYL side, but why play the guy who's effectively got one week left on cotnract?

Dear me... Had to work.

Still a decent youth squad?
What happened?
Leadership and control without Panni, and lack of width and penetration without Lewis??

1st 2 goals were down to the keeper not coming off his line.

Trottesque performance. Good shot stopper, terrible awareness.

And how rubbish is Brosque junior?
 

elevated position

How did Sherlock go.
he is not a very big person ( for a CB) so maybe will need to go to right side to continue his pathway???
Good player though

"Then however an aggressively minded Fabian Iacovelli made an incisive run and shot in the 19th minute. Reserve goalkeeper Nik Matic got to the ball to parry the shot away but Iacovelli was following through and had **space** to slot it inside the right upright. 0-1 "

As the one minute of stoppage time rolled over, ***the Mariners were lax in clearing the ball in their goal area ***and an alert James Virgili pounced to nab a second. 0-2.

What are the rules about senior players in the NYL semi's? Kwas, Huke and Crowell have played a fair few games in NYL - will they be available for the semi's?

All roads lead to Melbourne for Mariners Youth

*By Liam Howitt

The curtain may have fallen on the Mariners Hyundai A-League campaign for another season but for the players in the National Youth League, three rounds remain as the Young Mariners chase a maiden finals berth.

In their last outing in the rescheduled match against F3 rivals the Newcastle Jets, Tony Walmsleys charges turned in arguably their worst performance of the season as they crashed to a 4-1 home defeat.

Mariners head coach Tony Walmsley was typically forthright when discussing the last game.

Sometimes you have to credit the opposition and the Jets deserved a win last time out. We have bounced back well from previous losses and I expect the same this time, Walmsley said.

It was a lone goal from striker Gavin Forbes that saved the Mariners the embarrassment of their biggest defeat of the season. It was a performance that was uncharacteristically jaded from the home side that were out enthused by a determined Newcastle team, who to their credit, took the game to the team from the Central Coast.

The bye has been both a blessing and a curse for the Young Mariners who have been able to re-energise ahead of the crucial final weeks, but have also seen their position slide down the ladder.

In a sign of their attacking intentions, the Young Mariners have been busy strengthening their squad during their week away from the game with the addition of Mitchell Duke from the PCYC Parramatta Eagles. Coach Walmsley believes the striker will add more attacking options at a critical time of the season.

Mitchell Duke from PCYC Parramatta Eagles has signed for the NYL squad as a replacement player. Duke is a pacey and skilful striker, has been training with the team and will add to the attacking options at a crucial time, Walmsley said.

The last few weeks have also seen many of the Mariners Youth players rewarded for the good form of their side. In the final weeks of the Hyundai A-League season Mitchell Mallia, Panny Nikas, Nick Fitzgerald, Brady Smith, Matthew Lewis and Bernie Ibini-Isei were all given game time in the seniors. Nathan Sherlock was picked to travel to New Zealand but suffered an ankle injury and was forced out, a bitter blow for the Orange junior.

The Youth players all made solid contributions to the A-League and are hoping to bring back that knowledge and experience as the battle for Youth honours heats up. The fact that so many players have been given a taste of professional football is a just reward for a side that has performed consistently and one of the strengths of this youth side is that these players can make the step up to a higher level.

We have three very tough games to go, but our destiny is in our own hands. More importantly, with a strengthened squad and fewer distractions for the players, their focus is clearly back with the youth program, Walmsley said.

It is encouraging signs for the future, but it is the here and now that most concerns the Young Mariners.

Perth Glory now holds the leagues most coveted ladder position with the Mariners trailing by a single point. If the Mariners want to make a serious play for the title of premiers the next three matches are critical, starting with this Saturdays encounter with the Melbourne Victory.

Traditionally, matches against their rivals south of the Murray have been rugged affairs. Their last encounter in December is a case in point. Both sides refused to give an inch over a 90 minute battle with the Mariners just able to sneak home the points.

Melbourne, while still a mathematical chance of making the finals, are out to end their recent form slump having suffered two consecutive losses against the Australian Institute of Sport and Sydney FC.

The Mariners are hoping to put aside the frustration of their last outing and get back to winning ways.

With both sides desperate for a win the match has the makings of a brilliant game of football.

We need to qualify for the finals, which is probably one win away, but with a real opportunity to win the premiership. With a bit of luck we may even surpass our goals for the year, Walmsley said.

Sundays clash with Melbourne Victory will be the 6th competitive clash between the two clubs and the third of this campaign.
