    ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

I hate to say it but surely Hoole has to start next week.... Pain as well... And maybe McGing if Hiariej isn't back in.
next week at the league leaders it should be back to basics. That's what should have happened today.
Name a back four and play with a back four to cut out all the space for the attackers.
Looked like a lot of the time we were playing with a back three with either Rowles or Clisby jogging back.
shouldn't have been any need for them to go forward so far with five in midfield.

someone this morning in the thread mentioned parking the bus. I'm not a fan of that, but perhaps that what we should have done.

If only we had an enforcer on the team. Make Honda afraid to get anywhere near the ball. Make Troisi or Kosta have this niggling fear of getting knocked out every time they go to line up a shot.
I actually think Cisse would do a decent job as an enforcer in midfield. I think he played most of his career there, and he can't be worse than Melling. When Apsro is fit Cisse could be a decent option in midfield for some games with Hiariej and O'Neill ahead of him.

This has happened a LOT over the last few seasons.

I'm starting to wonder if there's a culture problem at the club beyond the coach. I can't imagine how there could be, I'm just trying to figure out how we've gone from one of the proudest histories, to the joke of the league.
IMHO there simply isn’t enough accountability within the football department.

Matty S in CDM? ;)
......that might actually work. He gets to float up to the front now and then to add to the numbers and win headers, hang up there for corners and free kicks, and make a constant nuisance of himself just in front of our backs.

Actually, Simon in CDM might be EXACTLY what we need.

Could save a bit of money by replacing the defence with traffic cones at this point... Might actually be more effective.
