Mariners V Adelaide United Rd 24

[Forum Phoenix]

Dropping Posc clearly hurt us. Second half we fell apart. AU have been beyond poor this year, clear difference though, we've typically had better interplay and speed on the break, but they have players capable of consistently hitting good balls in. Which killed us. Because A) we're little. B) We're not aggressive. And C) we don't have a true CB yet – though Rose is doing very well for mine. Just needs time, and someone big and experienced next to him. Boy how different I think our season would have been if we just had Wilko. Sydneys too if they didn't for that matter. We should have broken the bank. But we lost Faty. Lost Posc. And it was painful again.

Disagree with Kennedy being better than Ivan. Don't rate Kennedy at all, and his hair cuts alone disqualify him from ever wearing yellow.

Wow - I had assumed he was injured. Cannot understand that at all.

. he was injured ... quad strain i think it was

Posco is injured. Who else is shocked?

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Paolo said in his post match interview, that we clearly missed Posco's leadership at the back. It did not sound to me like he was dropped.

Correct was on clubs twitter
Came off in last 10mins against Sydney is when he did it.
He is glass and poor passing makes him a backup

Has he ever played more than 3 or 4 games in a row

Sad to agree with this, but how can you not?

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Sorry everyone. I should have said missing - been busy and caught nothing apart from the game itself - was not even really thinking dropped.

I've been a big advocate of Posc, but with all we've been through, I'm not sure we can gamble on him for another year. We desperately need quality and consistency at the back.

I think I mentioned in the Squad thread that he was on the radio at half time and said
he hadn't heard a word about a contract for next season.

I think that as the week gets on I'm just getting more and more pissed off at how badly we f**ked it last week....

More stupid work by the Mariners. Under the dross served up under Moss we won a couple of games on the trot purely because of Matt Simon and then we let him go at the end of the season.
Our back 4 are as weak as piss this season again and then Posco returns and we win 3 on the trot. Hopefully the brains trust (lol) are not so stupid the 2nd time around.
Posco needs to be resigned. Cut Faty, McGing and Ascroft.

Agree, but I was under the impression that McGing and Ascroft have contracts until the end of next season. Can anyone confirm?

Yes they do, but McGing is back in at DM where he belongs and would be an adequate back up. Posco may just loose out on the fact we still have those two for next year and they can be the back up CB's. So Posco might have to go just based on that. Can't have 3 backup CB's

Who is always injured

 

[Wombat]

Same injury from the start of the season.
He needs to come see Dr Dow at East Gosford Thai Massage.
She can help.
