    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.

Jair hasn't even earned a bench spot. I'd trust Simon to score over Jair.
And honestly, when Simon comes on he's often playing end-to-end. I've been liking him in that role.

A big, big problem we have is poor off-the-ball movement in attack. So many times we get a good attack going (like just then - 72nd minute thereabouts), but it grinds to a halt because the players that have moved up get marked and make zero effort to lose their marker).
Of course would help if players don't bloody airswing too....smh

FFS Muzz - need to release the ball quicker; another big problem in our attack. Silvera screaming down the middle, Muzz needed to put it on him. Instead, he doesn't attempt to cross until Silvera has finished his run and standing there being marked by 2 players, so the cross just bounces off the first player.
How many times this season have we seen that exact scenario play out.

fmd. Silvera loses the ball first (seemed to be afraid of getting tackled there), gordon 'clears' the ball straight up the guts, Nizzy can't clear it further (can't blame him on that one though, was just out of reach) Miller loses his man and doesn't cover the cross but manages to deflect the ball in the net, Bira unlucky in being caught wrong-footed by Miller's deflection, and Clisby is too lazy to cover the rear post.

That goal was truly a team effort of shitness and a perfect example of why we're still contending for the wooden spoon. Our back line is absolutely shithouse. Too many defenders who have absolutely no idea how to cover players and are too lazy to cover space.

So much to rip apart for the video session.
GG should not be allowed to pass more than 5m.
If Clisby plays again, he can't be getting up field.
DDS needs to look how Niz plays. And give Niz a real deal
Oar can't be allow to cross or take free kicks.
Gotta work on the press
SS to yoof.
Give Kye the captain armband.
