Emma Herd:
Off contract Central Coast Mariners Paul O'Grady and greg owens have been named in an extended squad for tomorrow night's A-League clash against Melbournwe Victory at telstra Dome.
They come into the squad which will be without Matthew Osman, who suffered a hip flexor injury in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Queensland
Should Owens play it would be his FIRST A-League match of the season, while O'Grady has played in five.
Mariners coach Lawrie McKinna said his side watched a DVD of Saturday's loss during the week and were determined to make amends. "They were disappointed with the way the goals were conceded," he said.
"We didn't defend well as a team; everyone contributed to the goals."
With Melbourne also coming off a loss, both sides have plenty to play for.
The Mariners are out to secure their berth in the finals, while the Victory have their eyes on a spot in the the top two.
Meanwhile, the Mariners National Youth League side will take on Melbourne tommorrow at Epping Soccer Stadium, Melbourne.
The last match-up between the sides was a 1-1 draw but the Victory will be out to continue its hot recent form with an unbeaten run of four matches.
