I think it will be Paull for the other Centre half spot and Angel for Theo
Roux will also start as right back
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.

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.

I'd have very similar, except Hall into CB, shift Storm to RB and Doka on the bench. Hall needs games to improve, with Monty gone it's a great opportunity for a fresh startI wouldn't be surprised to have Storm with Brian. Brian played predominantly on the left last season and Paull I believe is also predominantly a left sided CB. I would start Noah instead of Christian with Christian coming on fresh against a tiring defence.

If Theoharous has worked on his fitness he needs to be in with a shot at starting. Can’t see him staying happy and at the club if we don’t offer that pathway amongst all the turnover we’ve had and extra games to play.I would start Noah instead of Christian with Christian coming on fresh against a tiring defence.
My problem is his decision making and selfishness. As I've said numerous times its reminiscent of Hoole. Hoole refused to change, I hope Theo will because he could be a cracker of a player.I don’t get all the hate for Theo starting?? He was great off the bench last season and he came to the club with no game time so naturally his fitness wouldn’t be at its best, but with a full preseason with us now I’m not sure why people are still questioning his fitness, I’m sure he’ll be fit and firing and ready to make that LW spot his
I don't think it's fundamentally because he is a selfish player.My problem is his decision making and selfishness. As I've said numerous times its reminiscent of Hoole. Hoole refused to change, I hope Theo will because he could be a cracker of a player.
With that left side Nizzy will be fluent in Spanish and Portuguese by the end of the seasonMy run on side, still not sure about the other CB...

Perhaps. Problem is running into cul de sacs and not working hard to get the ball back or to defend after losing it.I don't think it's fundamentally because he is a selfish player.
He was clearly instructed to be direct and take on players when subbed on. Even with that he still made opportunities and space for others.
1000% agree with thisI don't think it's fundamentally because he is a selfish player.

Not working hard to get it back is an issue. But the decisions can be from trying too hard and getting more starting minutes may help reduce that pressure to deliver something in limited windows.Perhaps.

Absolutely agree.Not working hard to get it back is an issue. But the decisions can be from trying too hard and getting more starting minutes may help reduce that pressure to deliver something in limited windows.
He needs a goal to break his duck, more should flow after that i think, and probably a bit more generous play/head up play.Not working hard to get it back is an issue.

I've heard he's working really hard on his fitness. I think he'll get his chances to start too. The club do offer the pathway... but it's not up to them to keep players happy. At least not in a Monty coached side (sigh)If Theoharous has worked on his fitness he needs to be in with a shot at starting. Can’t see him staying happy and at the club if we don’t offer that pathway amongst all the turnover we’ve had and extra games to play.
And been coached. I was struggling to get into a side when I was younger. Asked the coach what I had to do to make it and he told me to go play Sunday league with older kids. Couple months later after playing every Sunday I'd beefed up and improved my technique enough to make the side. Playing football in that 1st team for the next 4 years were some of the best days of my life.Plenty on this forum have coached before.
Angel IS Torres. He cant play on both wings at the same time.I think it will be Paull for the other Centre half spot and Angel for Theo
