Scum v Mariners (HAL round 1)

[clarence]

IF we can field a fit team then we should win. I'd be happy with a  1-0 win, and some good passing and running game.

 

[BaysideMariner]

Is McCallister playing? If he is 2-0 to CCM Goals to Elrich and Macca

 

[FFC Mariner]

Point will do me.

Having only seen us win once at that shithole, I will happy not to get beaten (mind you, I say that every game o dont mind me)

Fulham supporter mentality. Expect the worst and you are rarely wrong.

Got sent the attached piccy of a pitchside protest at CC in 87. Somewhere in that collection of wannabe's is a v young GP

What were you protesting about?

 

[FFC Mariner]

Merger with QPR so they could build flats on the ground.

Wanker who tried it (Bulstrode of Mahler Estates) went broke fortunately.

 

[Bex]

I reckon Mariners 2-0.

IMO our strength will be the team will gel better with reasonble, practiced options across the park in both attack and defense; a more balanced and organised unit if you like. The scum just won't get it together unless they send the ball to sackwhacker, but surely we will have him well marked or starve him of the ball.

Anyway, thats my amateur take on things but a goal or two and a point would be good.

 

[goingtoadisco]

will be a tough game.

3-2 mariners.

 

[midfielder]

Big test for LM this is the first season he has had money and a number of players to replace.

On balance we have a strong squad if anything weakest up front . Well that depends on if we have a new Matty & if N M can remain free of injury and how Macca performs.

I feel so nervous about this season

Weakest upfront?
Sash top scorer at his clubs every season.
Macca who looks all class from what i have seen.
Nik the goal scoring machine.
And that other bloke everyone seems to rate.


I think we look to have less depth at the back and in the centre of the park. Will look better when stringers/owens/gumps are eventually back. But centre mid especially we look a bit light on.

This game is going to be a ripper, we will want revenge and scum will want to get off to a flyer.  How will injuries and suspension affect the game though?

Mariners potential starting 11 if injuries are not good

----------------Danny
Clark-----Bojic-------Wilko-------D-Appuzzo
Elrich------Hutch----Porter-------Cacreres
----------Sasho-----Mrdja

Bench - Bosnich/Redders, Osman, and then we're looking at Brady Smith and Nathan Sherlock!

We have concerns over Boogs, Jedinak, Macca and Heff, probably all rated at 50/50!  Greg Owens, Stringers and Gumps are definitely out.  Matty Simon is also unavailable.

If we can get 2 of those 50/50's fit at least we'll have a full bench of first teamers!

Scum arn't without their concerns too, does anyone know if they have any injury concerns?  North and Holland are at the Olympics so will be out and they certainly look thin at the back!

I guess they could play :

-------------Covic
Elrich----Griffiths--Kovacic---Thompson
------------Spencer
--Patafta-----Song----Kakansson
---------Griffths----Zura

Bench - Kennedy, D'Appuzo, Wheelhouse, Ontong/Hoffman? I dunno?

We'll be relying on Hutch to have a massive game, we'll be hoping Elrich and Caceres have big games, and we'll hope that Nik can get through 90 mins!

Scum can get beaten at the back, but they will be impressive going forward and create plenty of opportunities, how our boys handle that is a big question, but I reckon we can win the battle!  What's to expect from Zura? I personally think he'll go ok, a lot of expectations on his shoulders being the marquee, and what affect will that have on J Griffiths?

Does anyone know what will happen if/when the Olyroos lose? Will North, Simon or Holland be available? I wouldn't have thought so?

 

[marinermick]

heff and mile defintely out, wilko, hutch and dylan in doubt

i'm going:

danny
clark bojic wilko d'appuzzo
elrich hutch porter osman
sasho carceras

bench: bozza, mrdja, o'grady (smokey for bench) and one other

 

[Sean]

If we started with either of the two above posted squads,
I still feel confident.

We have had a good lead-up to this game and I think we will have a bit more cohesion than the scum.
I think Porter and Sasho will carve.

 

[marinersman]

With Mile out, Hutch is integral to a win on Friday. We really need his leadership in the centre of the park. He always has a big game against the scum.

I hope Dyl pulls through and starts. Can't see Sash doing that well on his own without another striker to help out up front.
