Central Coast Mariners Squad 2021/22

Bayliss and/or Hall if RT gets fit

Yeah Hall does not mind going forward, still haven’t seen enough of Bayliss. Either way appears we will find out soon. Wonder if he plays on Thursday??? If he has signed with them I would suggest he is dropped on Thursday evening.

I didn’t scream blue murder about being attacked. Honestly couldn’t care less, it’d be hilarious if it ever happened in person. I jokingly referenced it once.
I expressed my opinion on a player that I think is overhyped. Admittedly getting carried away sometimes. And trust me, I’ve been analysing football games for about 10 years now. I completely understand when one teams tactics/style can nullify the others main threats. Just didnt think it needed to be typed. That’s you jumping to a conclusion.
I’ll criticise a player but I’ll also compliment said player when they do something that’s consistent and worthy of praise.

And believe it or not, outside of this forum, Marco isn’t the well loved supremely talented footballer many on here think. Majority of other Mariner fans I’ve spoken to at the stadium, pubs and in general agree with my sentiment.
I don’t want him gone by any means, I want to see the player some of you people see. And for the record I haven’t attacked him as a person, I’m sure he’s a lovely bloke.

do you believe Monty would’ve gone the extra mile to bring cumdog down here if Marco and even moresche (who I prefer over Marco) were banging goals consistently?

Honestly Michael, I'm pretty easy going, and enjoy many of your posts, but when it comes to Urena, what you've stated above, really doesn't match with how you've often come across on him. Hence you're now even drawing 'broken record' comments etc... At times it really does seem like he shot your dog and ran off with your wife... or maybe Stoxxo's.... It's getting confusing. Anyway, what do they say... communication is the response you get?

The only time you really pissed me off beyond a typical forum differing of opinion and an eye roll, was when you were saying things about him being lazy and that he doesn't care. It's just categorically untrue and not a slight I honestly think a single player in our current squad deserves — which is f**king great.

Re Monty, I actually know he's thrilled with Marcos.The senior guys really admire and respect each other. Again, which is great. But Monty was banking on playing Simmo with Marcos once more this season. With Moresche the unknown X factor to come off the bench and maybe challenge for a spot, and some young quality like McCarthy and Kuol coming through behind.

The reason we have signed Cumdog, as has been stated by Monty, was because we lost Matty. And what a signing. Better than we could have possibly hoped. From what I've seen Cumdog looks to be the best out and out striker in the team and possibly maybe the whole bloody league for mine. That's how impressed I am (and willing to overhype him) knowing I could well be proven wrong.

But as to Marcos's performances and proving to you and the other doubting fans and pundits you're speaking to... if it was me... and I'm not taking the piss... I'd be pointing out that 7 games into a 33 game season, he has 3 goals and 2 assists.

Within those games he's missed and butchered things, but he's also had multiple goal line clearances and put others into some cracking goal scoring positions that they've missed. But that's football. And all that aside, at his current rate he'd be looking to score 12 plus goals and 10 plus assists. That'd be a pretty f**king good return don't you agree?

I don't think he's a perfect player. But he's a player imo we're clearly lucky to have. Loves the coast. Loves the club. Loves the fans. Loves helping other players...

Come on man... there's a lot to love.

Watched the Nix v Cows game and now I see why they are interested in Miller, they are currently using Noone as a right wing back and it’s not going great and he gave a stupid Pen away and is not providing enough in attack compared to being a winger at City. Miller gives the chance to move him back into his best position. Also their backs don’t have a lot of pace. It became very obvious they need some one like him and he will play regularly for them IMO. I get the feeling that Monty wouldn’t lose a player by choice, maybe he hasn’t stood in his way if what people are saying is true. I feel we will miss his impact though.

I don't think we will miss him at all. We don't have a decent right back so nothing changes

I don’t think Monty or Ken sought after Cumdog heavily from a footballing perspective.

Well yes from a football perspective but we were on the cusp of ACL qualifying and needed backup firepower as well as the draw card factor of publicity and boosting sales and viewership.

How do we know we didn’t even apply for some help to draw him here?

Never know.

His run at King even though outside of the box did get us to the Cup final. Not sure I'm ready for Roux every game.

I get the feeling we didn't chase him at all costs either, seems he was pretty keen to get away and focus back on his football. Its a win/win for us.

Just back on Miller .... has he signed with the Cows or SFC or is it just a rumour...

Just a rumour as far as i can see. Monty did say we'd be losing 1 player this window, so far I've seen rumour/ speculation around birraz, smith and miller.

If we're not talking to Thomas Aquilina from WSW yesterday, we're being very silly.

Smith definitely staying, recovered from injury and hoping for some game time this month.

Good, he didn't look too bad in the FFA cup game however we were bossing Apia at the time.

I hope they put the the “no play against us”clause in the deal

A forum mate who is a player agent says he has not signed yet...

Incorrect

 

[James93]

Thx Mick. If this is the case it may be better for all for him to go.

As far as I understand there are other reasons in play such as numerous clashes with other players at training, blow ups with the skipper etc. Perhaps he is feeling a need for change.

Incorrect. Correct.

 

[James93]

Pretty gutted about Lewis leaving his pace and power has been great, however without knowing the details, if the club think he needs to move on then so be it.

Not so keen to see Storm feature more he’s been rather unconvincing so far, hope he improv

The clubs decision?

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Incorrect. Correct.

Surely if he is having blow ups with the coach and the rest of the team squad it is better if he moves on? I do not understand your reasoning.

Agree, not much reasoning at all coming from James. Seems he has some inside knowledge.

Miller has done very well this season and has deserved his starts, I'm definitely not one for pushing him out the door however if he feels he needs to move on I hope it works in his best interests.

sounds like he's adhd . i reckon that might be a starting point for sorting him out .
also if thats the issue .going to methcarther wont sort it and is a minefield for miller.

Hi Louis!

If Louis isn't happy playing RB then surely it will put pressure on him and make him feel like he has to move to play the position he wants but without having a showreel from the CB position it's a risk for other teams to take him on as a starting 11 player.

Sadly, as others have said, he may well be an awesome CB but he would be 4th in line at CCMFC and I really like him at RB, he's fast, has the confidence to take on the opposition players (and win) plus he's strong and uses his physicality to his advantage add decent crosses into the mix and he will be missed.

We don't have a good placement for him either.
