Time for Wholesale Changes

[Marquee]

And yes your right Mr FFC Mariner, the players brought in, or not, over the next open window, will certainly show us all how serious the club is about being a success or a flop

+1.

Maybe when the season ticket renewals come out before the season starts we should all send them a letter saying we won't fork out for whole season unless they sign some quality in the June transfer window?

A number of 'members' holding out on renewals might make them aware we won't tolerate the rubbish that was dished up last Wednesday all the time.

Or just all go the GA season ticket if they do nothing in that transfer window about improving their squad?

Spot on clarence...
If they think they have money woes now, just wait till nobody renews their memberships and don't turn up on game day.

Will most definitely be sending them a letter if we come to that situation. But hopefully we don't.

Agree with the above posts, the transfer period before new season will be the pivotal point. It will really show how serious the club is and what kind of state we are in financially/managerially.

Love to see....

1) Replacement for Fergie - really underestimated his importance

2) CB - any f***** hard nut with some skill and positional awareness. Lower Scottish team anyone?

3) CM - Quality midfielder, replacement for Hutch.

4) RB - Porter is a gun, but isn't a right back. Should be right wing, played great there for lightning.

+ Anyone else decent to build the squad

Can someone tell me how the club moves forward and pays for all of the replacement players we need (no argument from me there) if the fans withold their money?

I agree that some changes need to be made, but I have faith in McKinna's ability to make the team play some decent football again. Players like MacAllister and Caceres have more technical ability than the rest of our squad (except for Osman but he's on his way to GCU) and we need more players like them in order to play quality football again. Caceres needs to be played centrally, his constant drifting in from the wing not only shows that it is where he wants to play, but it also leaves us with no-one to help out Heff on the break. Porter definitely needs to be deployed in midfield, I wouldn't mind him playing in CM instead of Hutch in fact. I feel that we almost definitely need to sign a good wide player, which we have never really had.

Macca is a good player  but he has the worst first touch. Porter in CM would be good but on the wing would be better he can put in a great cross which we lack.
Defo Adrian in the middle.

                                          Danny

          Bojic              Boogs              Wilko            Heff
   

          Elrich              Huke              Adrian          Porter         

                                Simon            Kwassie


What these players could improve on:
 

• Danny Talking mostly he is alway consistent you are only as goood as ur defence
• Bojic needs to work on crosses
• Wilko to quiet needs to fire up and get some passion
• Boogs same as wilko and his long passes and going to the ball
• Heff trying to beat ppl whem there are ppl in support
• Elrich not being injured
• Porter nothin really does a great job
• Huke stop trying to be Mile with long passes and long shots
• Adrian slow down and think bout whjat ur doing
• Simon same as porter
• Kwassie  havnt seen him enough

[marinermick]

meh, who didn't get skinned by kawasaki wednesday night

and often porter was marking two players making getting skinned easier

 

[Part_Timer]

agree very nimble players ....

 

[Ravana]

i just think it is a reality check, we could have played better, but I don't think we could of won.

 

[Sean]

There should be one of these threads in the "support" section.

 

[FFC Mariner]

I'll bite.

What changes do you suggest?

 

[Sean]

Changes to steer the bay back to its true meaning of support. Our team had none last week.

 

[clarence]

See above comment by Ravana Sean, from what I heard on the TV the Kawasaki fans had the Marinators done and dusted.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Personally, I think that having the "active" supporters bay in an area of the ground competing with the view behind the goals doesnt work anymore - if it ever really did

No roof, no atmosphere, no energy.

Rather see 50/100 people in a corner or in the bay opp the away support and giving it a go than try to compete week in week out with people who are not there for that reason.

Definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result

 

[Sean]

I agree with the location idea and would love to see that come to fruition but comeon, you cant blame lack of roof for how shit our support was last week.

Active support has a place in every part of our stadium. The players can hear us regardless of location. We've discussed this before, the people who might not be there for that reason, need the motivation. If we dont sing, they wont.

We're definitely jumping the gun here on discussing how to rectify the shitness our support has become but would the core favour a change/move to opposite side of the away support?

 

[clarence]

I think that was a discussion that people like Deej, or Fish or Jeff had with the Mariners management and stadium management discussed reserved ticketing for the Marinators. ( I read that here on one of the Threads ages ago.) So you may like to ask those gents first, what happened back then before regurgitating the issue of a relocation?

 

[Sean]

I know this has been mentioned before. But do you really need stadium consent where to stand? (dont answer that) It did not stop us from standing behind the goals in V1 what would stop us from getting in early and standing in that general admission area? We're not breaking rules. This is not a Marinators issue also, this is a support in general issue.
