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.
plan Aruon in CM is laughable to be totally honest with you. He’d win some aerial duels and some tackles, sure, but would instantly be found out with the ball as he doesn’t have the sharp quick touches or passes at all. And what about those occasional yet kinda often miss timed heart attack tackles he prone to? If you want a CB to shift into midfield Dan Hall is the option. Given he has played there at one point in his life on a consistent basis.
nizzy as a 10 definitely works. I get that Miller WAS a centre back through the academy and can ofcourse deputise there. But whether he or some fans like it or not he is an awesome attacking fullback who is also mostly solid defensively. The last position change we need.
totally agree we need a plan b but just shifting players around to other areas in the same formation isn’t the answer.
we’re being outdone tactically not man for man.
3 CM’s imo is the answer given every other team has 3 or 2 CAM’s, completely overwhelming our 2 holders and then running over the top of us.
Ollie holding with niz and Balard/Steele in front would help. Or niz and Ollie holding with any one of Urena, muller, cy or even moresche in the 10 would do very well imo.
Yeah.Was Urena on bench didn't notice?
