[BrisRecky]

I think you were in a very small group Offy.

Most people were absolutely chuffed.

Yeh I said to Wombat and Peachy WAY before he signed that we should get Mulvey...maybe Im pschycotic or physic or some such bollocks

I said it when we sacked Moss.
Mind you I'm glad we didn't back then (due to the tight purse strings)

 

[BrisRecky]

We’re way ahead of victory on the table...how f**kin weird is that

 

[MagpieMariner]

We're also ahead of Wanderers and Jets & we've scored more goals than Wanderers & Roar.

Bit of straw clutching going on

When I look at the table ......... I see the teams that emphasised defense and those that went for attack being the best form of defense under them .

Are we in sixth or not?

Luck of the draw
Central Coast Mariners have survived the opening two rounds of the A-League season by the skin of their teeth.

Consecutive 1-1 draws with Brisbane Roar and Melbourne City respectively could well have ended in heavy defeats, if not for some wasteful finishing in front of goal.

The Mariners have faced 44 shots in total, mustering just 11 in response, and while coach Mike Mulvey knows his men have rode their luck thus far, he believes there’s still plenty to admire.

“We put in a great effort, it’s building blocks,” Mulvey said.

“Last week we got a point, this week we got a point, so onwards and upwards from here.

“The best is yet to come. We changed it up a bit from last week, we got a deserved goal after pressing high and I think if you look at it as a whole, City deserved the point but we’re disappointed that we conceded late on.”

That's a fair assessment of the Brisbane game but the City one was much better. I'd like to see more confidence to go on looking for more goals rather than trying to defend for long periods but hopefully that will develop soon. We've finally got the players to do it and we look better when we put the opposition on the back foot.

I repeat ...WEIRD

Yep, we can't afford to give away so many shots in games. We can't keep being dominated and trying to ride our luck either.

Yeah, soon we're going to come up against someone who knows where the inside of the net is, e.g. Le Fondre or Keogh.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Equal 5th.

Have not heard anything about Corey Gamerio is he hurt or not up to bench quality ?????

He was discussed on the poddie last week... Off the top of my head, I think MMM said he was probably a month-and-a-bit away, recovery-wise, but training with the team again.

yeah full sessions but non contact I think it was.

 

[midfielder]

Thats good news because at his best he is or was being considered as a future Socceroo.... lets hope he can return to that form it would give us some real quality up front ...
