Central Coast Mariners Squad 2021/22

Roux is back

There will be some happy merchants welcoming him back

 

[Blackadder]

Roux is back

Meh.

 

[Drew]

I don’t know how to feel about this, think he’s been pretty poor the last few seasons, but we needed another right back

Yeah I think it’s good, simply because it’s a 1 year deal and he won’t be on that much money, plus Miller needed competition at RB which he will provide, hopefully it gets the best out of both players, and if he doesn’t perform then miller will retain rb, and adds a bit more experience to our young backline

 

[Ancient Mariner]

We do not have a lot of experience in that position and RBs are pretty scarce. Could be a useful signing to provide knowledge of the position to the young aspirants.

Storm Roux returns to the Mariners

The Central Coast Mariners are pleased to announce that right-back Storm Roux has re-joined the club on a one-year deal after spending three years with Melbourne Victory. Roux racked up over 100 appearances in yellow and navy, spanning five years between 2013 and 2018 and will be welcomed back...

[FFC Mariner]

Call me a cynic, but I just can’t believe you end up in the in the A league at 32 with Sturridges pedigree unless he’s broken.

Heart muscle issues.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Meh on Roux.
Couldnt get a game at the spooners. Rather give one of our kids a go.

And you know. That

 

[midfielder]

No wonder a late Friday announcement

TBH I would have Dan Hall at RB. If Dan is needed to cover Ruon or Kye centrally then Storm and Miller can fight for the RB spot then.

Probably not a bad squaddie because he can probably cover RW as well.

The way I see it Roux brings something in attack that we haven’t seen Hall or Miller match. Nigro certainly didn’t show it, I would hope they (especially Miller if we want him to be a RB) can learn from that part of his game while still becoming better defenders.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

I will keep saying it over and over again. You do not turn centre backs into fullbacks.
Right and left back in the modern game are attacking positions.
The position requires speed and a motor to go up and down the field more than a box to box midfielder, plus the ability to cross and be able to shoot.
These are skills not found in your centre backs.
If you want to make fullback from your squad, look at wingers who can defend.
If you have too many centre backs turn them into DMs or play with a back three.

Agree completely

 

[FFC Mariner]

So on that basis you wouldnt sign Roux would you

Your just stubborn and once you say something you fight it on principle rather than common sense ?

I concur. Even though Roux has been on a downward slide, he's much more suited to the position than Miller. It just wouldn't make sense tactically having two attacking left backs and a defensive right back with very little attacking IQ. I think it adds a little stability to the backs and will provide Monty the option to play Miller in a position that he'd be more comfortable in.

 

[Tevor]

I’m not impressed and find this signing deflating. Guess when you have little cash you end up signing those that can’t get a start anywhere else. Would rather try an NPL player that way I would be interested to see how they go not already knowing they aren’t a good standard.

 

[Corsair]

Tell me we haven't wasted our last visa on Roux?

We've signed a yesteryear bench player from the spooners. Surely this is purely based on financial constraints?

 

[Ironbark]

Roux is a so so attacker and a below grade defender.
Thumbs down on this signing.

He’s not a visa player.
