CCM v Gold Coast away (Sun 19 Dec)

[Jerem]

has osman played a game this year?
ihope we bring a little pace back
I.e. CCm vs PG 5-0 style!!

 

[Hagar the Horrible]

Osman hasn't played since suffering a serious knee injury a week before the season started.

Mariners Slowing Down

Central Coast have only won one of their last six outings

I would rather say we have 1 1 from our last 1

 

[Jerem]

15000 tix snapped up!
imagine that every game, ol' CP might just turn a small profit!

 

[Roy Law]

Well, stuff 442! This is where the pace picks up - after GCU we have five home games in a row. The GCU is a massive game, in front of a big crowd, a win has us chasing down Adelaide for second spot, a draw keeps us in the arm wrestle with GCU and a loss has us looking at the chasing field. When we lost 2-3 at home to them we tired noticeably after a very impressive first half - hopefully we have our best attacking game face on and can outplay them and come away with a big win.

PAX was 21,000 yesterday.

Yeh, it's a shame the Mariners are going to keep the majority of the crowd quiet

 

[Roy Law]

C'mon Kwaussie c'mon, c'mon
C'mon Kwaussie c'mon!

Forget 2nd spot if we lose. If CCM want results this season they need to get results against the top 3.

Forget 2nd spot if we lose. If CCM want results this season they need to get results against the top 3.

Further to that our results against the top six has been far from spectacular:
Brisbane - 2 losses
Adelaide - 1 draw
Gold Coast - 1 loss, 1 draw
Melbourne - 1 win, 1 draw
Newcastle - 1 draw

8 games against the top six for 1 win, 4 draws and 3 losses

Add Wellington who are seventh and you have 10 games for 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses.

Games in the next two weeks against Gold Coast, Adelaide and Melbourne will be season defining.

Cue mid season slump

 

[dibo]

To be fair, we have at least been getting results against the lower sides. We can bank those points, and if we get enough against higher sides we're looking good.

It'd be a travesty if Brisbane don't do the double, but we're having a pretty good year for a rebuilding year.

Any preferred place to gather on the Coast (ours!) to watch this.

I'm at a bit of a loose end this arvo. Kendall bar still happening? - haven't seen anything from batman on here for a while.

This pitch is shit ...

 

[midfielder]

Penalty ....

 

[midfielder]

Kwassie missed... keeper did not even have to make a save...

 

[shipwreck]

Not at all surprised he missed, should of been bozanic f**k off kwasnik

 

[universalmind]

I love Kwasnik's endeavour and admit he has moments of skill. But he must never take a penalty again. He has missed two in a row (Sydney at home last season).

On another note, this game should be called off. The pitch is a disgrace and in my opinion at the very least is not condusive of good football, let alone safe for players.

 

[midfielder]

Game cancelled ... sorry called off ...
