National Youth League Fixtures and Mariners youth team discussion

[Jose Mourinho]

Thanks. i appreciate it.

T. Wamsley: Very good coach. Since he took of the relm, has finished first and second respectively.

Err, no .... I would not be attributing the results to Tony's - 'in name' - coaching.

Otherwise, a good overview of the players. I've seen 6 or so live during the state leagues and they have all done well.
ps. I think my ratings of the keepers is the other way around.

Everyones got ther own opinion and i respect that, but in the modern day NYL coaches are judged on their results and the amount of players they push into the first team and judging on that criteria he has done pretty well.

Dont get me wrong the players played a significant role in that success aswell.

So which keeper would you play as ur number 1 if you were the coach?

Jose do you have any info on the guys from last year who did not make the squad.
(Fitzy to Roar, Forbes to Newcastle)etc.

Last season's results were due to the quality of the players, not the team as a whole - though in some ways at NYL that isn't necessarily negative.

I judge the quality of the first team coach for the players pushed into the first team.

But at least we've had stability - look at what the idiots did to Sydney FC getting rid of O'Connor, and picking up donkeys as players.

This year's will need to be a team effort though to be Premiers.

Both keepers are shaky - hell, so was Ryan, that's the thing about young keepers - so rotation.

Any insider info on the draw and home game location/s?

Jets at Pluim Friday the 21st of October.. I think

Apparently the NYL fixtures have been quietly added to the A-League site.

NYL Season 2011/12 fixtures

What is going on with FFA? No launch so far for the W-League (fixtures are out - see www.back-of-the-net.com for your Cockayne fix) and nothing for the NYL either?

Fitzy: Is on a two year deal. Fisrt year is a youth deal and then the second year is for the first team.

Sam Munro: Overage.

Brady Smith: Overage.

Nathan Jagelman: Not picked up.

Max Glanville: Not picked up.

Mitchell Mallia: Sydney FC Youth.

Adam Ormsby: Not playing soccer anymore.

Alex Mansueto: Not picked up.

Jerry Kalouris: Not picked up.

Jerry Kalouris: Not picked up.

No happy with those.

BTW, Jerry Kalouris is in the Sydney Olympic FC squad for the NSWPL Grand Final at Belmore tomorrow - hopefully I'll get there.

Just a thought - perhaps it's time for a new sticky for the NYL?

Why? This one seems to keep running along OK and allows one to look back at history?

Final squad slightly different from Jose Mourinho's post but pretty close.
Interesting to note Dylan Mitchell has come from SFC NYL and Ben Jurman is the younger brother of Brisbane's rising star Matt Jurman.

Western Advocate:
Mariners gain crucial match fitness
BY MARK RAYNER 19 Oct, 2011

The Central Coast Mariners’ youth team posted a win and a loss from their Central West visit but more importantly, they have taken away match fitness from their double-header on the weekend.The Mariners beat a Western NSW XI 6-0 on Friday night but found it hard to back up on Sunday and they went down 1-0 against NSW Div 2 senior side Bathurst ’75 after dominating periods of the match.

Mariners Youth coach Tony Walmsley wasn’t worried about results, but said he was delighted with what he had seen from his team, admitting they are used to playing on fields that are flatter than Alec Lamberton Field.


“Backing up less than 48 hours after Friday, the chance of fatigue based injuries is heightened, so really we changed our system in the second half to stretch the boys physically which made the game more open,” he said.

“On an incredibly difficult surface we produced a reasonable standard of football, on a good pitch it enables us to move the ball a lot quicker than we did. Notwithstanding that, we achieved what we wanted to over the weekend, getting a new group together and getting some miles in the legs and we can now fine tune things for this Friday.”

While Walmsley wasn’t worried about Sunday’s loss, he said the Bathurst players should be very happy with their efforts against a professional team.

“The result’s not important but pleasing for the locals to get that result I’m sure,” he said.

“I know some of them, I was recently on tour in China with them. They stepped up to the plate today and I’m sure their coach will be very happy. Their enthusiasm was very good. In the second half when the game opened up, they took advantage of some of the space that was there and good on them for doing that.”

There is hope that the event might become an annual one and Walmsley spoke highly of the experience.

“It was fantastic. The hospitality and the work that [Western NSW Football operations and development officer] Andrew Fearnley has put into us coming here is second to none, so we are all very humble about that and very appreciative that that was set up for us. It was very worthwhile.”

A fair result at 1/1 with Musti setting up the mariners goal.
Sainsbury had a great game and showed good composure at CB.
The goal was scored by young Kwabena Appiah-Kubi who is a pocket rocket and with physical growth will be a crowd fav

Don't know what game you were watching but Sainsbury was pure pish. Arnold was there and ripping shreds off him.

Appiah-Kubi will be a crowd favourite. I am going to go to more games because of him. Pity they do not play before the first team.

How good would it be in a couple of years to see Bernie and Kubi up front! Two quick, skillful and dynamic Africans in the striking partnership.

I think Stanjovic is an outstanding midfield. Look out for his development this season.

Mitchell Duke had a shocker.

 

[elevated position]

Your dreaming. Mick Stanjovic had a defensive shocker and missed 2 sitters but first game after 12 mths will quickly improve.
The score would have been to them except for a couple of sainsbury blocks .

The score would have been to them except for a couple of sainsbury blocks .

and could have been more to newcastle if a constantly unmarked chris payne could score

 

[kevrenor]

They really need a decent coach

'They' being?
I hear Branko may be looking for work

 

[Roy Law]

Really need a third person to watch these games then we can have the casting vote on Sainsbury, Duke etc (including a kid called Nikola STANOJEVIC)
