National Youth League Fixtures and Mariners youth team discussion

Was a great game to watch and the standard is really good and our team is so well organised and brilliantly fast on an attack which is a pleasure to see. The influence on the way the team plays similar to the attack to our A League team is awesome and the coaching is top notch.

2 things that stand out to me watching these games as an old bastard now that I had forgotten about are:

1). How good is it watching a game without VAR when a goal is scored and it’s celebrated without a ridiculous 3 minute wait for the video to then decide whether its a goal or not. Yeah there is a touch of complaining ( queue Northern Spirit) but the game just flows so much better and moves on from any borderline decisions.

2). How good is that an offside is given straight away and the play doesn’t meander along for 30 seconds or so and then the flag is reluctantly put up which made the last bit of play irrelevant or someone gets seriously injured in meaningless play.

I know they wont change what has been done in top league football but in my view its so much better to watch the old way and Anyway will crawl back into my cave now.

Was interested in how we play as well. Definitely replicating the 1st team but didn’t get that feel from SC but not sure how much of that is due to their changes in their team

With Lachlan Bayliss gone and Di Pizio rumoured only to be here until January I'd love to see us bring in Nathan Amanatidis from Adelaide. He only played as as sub for the Joeys but was one of the few that performed well (along with Di Pizio) for 128 minutes getting 2 goals and an assist

Olayinka Sunmola playing for mt druitt

Hammond is fantastic. Should be in the 1st team for sure. He would fill sammy boot’s pretty well if he went or a good sub if he stays

Paull looks the goods as well. Very imposing CB with a very good pass and composure.

gee you could place windust , paull & larsen straight into the A-league back line and they'd hold their own .

Anybody know why we got rid of Sunmola?

Classic play well against a team that dropped you maybe. Fits there team well.

Also playing more central and dropping back more. We played him more on the wing from what i saw

 

[Big Al]

We don’t look likely apart from Hammond

 

[Big Al]

2-1 win. Played well and gritted it out against a pretty good team.

We are good on the ball and well organised but lack a bit of something special in attack.

We have got rid of the stupid mistakes from earlier in the season.

Low hanging fruit but I have to state the bleeding obvious and say that we looked like we missed Lachie this evening. I hope the club has reinforcements lined up, as we also look light on in the striker department, although Brandtman did put a solid shift tonight.
