NYE Mariners v Glory

[Wombat]

Thanks Kev.

So in summary....it was a shit game. We were better than Glory but still ordinary.

Ando, Tesco and Olly had good games.

Rose and Monty were much better than against bling.

Hutcho wasn't missed at all.

We would dearly love a top drawer striker.

Where the fireworks any good? Darwin put on a decent show and no one got nibbled by the local crocs.


Did I miss anything?

Interesting preview of Perth game........as usual people cant wait to write us off!

Central Coast Mariners vs Perth Glory - Monday 6:00pm EDT – Bluetongue Stadium, Gosford. Team & Ladder Ranking: Central Coast Mariners are 1st. 8W 3D 2L. 27 Points.Form (Recent->Least Recent) & Last Result: LDWWW. 1-0 loss, away against Sydney FC.Ladder Movement: A win or draw would ensure Adelaide cannot jump over them and take 1st place. A loss would put them in the sights of Victory, Western Sydney and Adelaide.Keep Up The Good Work: No-one. The Mariners were abysmal as an entire organisation. They were late to the match due to a transport mix-up, they couldn't hold onto the ball, their attack missed several gilt edged chances and they lost their discipline.Things They Could Have Done Better Last Week: Everything.Team & Ladder Ranking: Perth Glory are 5th. 5W 3D 5L. 18 Points.Form (Recent->Least Recent) & Last Result: DWWLL. 1-1 draw, home against Western Sydney Wanderers.Ladder Movement: Winning would put them ahead of Western Sydney pending their tough Victory fixture and potentially opens up a 5 point gap between 5th and 6th. Losing makes them vulnerable to Wellington and Newcastle. A draw should be enough to hold onto 5th through Goal Difference.Keep Up The Good Work: Ryo Nagai was a bolt from the blue (or purple). Every time he got on the ball he promised to damage the opposition and eventually he burned Tarek Elrich for pace and delivered the cross that resulted in the Nick Ward wonderstrike equaliser.Things They Could Have Done Better Last Week: Except for Nagai their attack was disjointed. The attacking trio of Nagai, Smeltz and Mehmet failed to fire that players of their quality should. Smeltz in particular is in a rut, Glory are a much lesser team when he's out of form.Prediction: Central Coast are missing several big players, Perth are in decent form. Is this the start of the great Mariners choke? 1-1 Draw.
