    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!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join 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.

Round 1 v Scummers

Big game from a lot of inexperienced and new players, some of whom wouldn’t necessarily be starters on a normal week.

Miller made me nervous and Hall wasn’t as composed as we are used to seeing. Nkolo and Goddard both look like smart recruiting on a budget but I will reserve judgement on moresch.

I think the inexperience showed a bit in not being able to settle the game while up by 2 but top of the league is top of the league!

Yep, we may struggle with teams that concentrate their attack on the wide positions. Roux won't hold out anyone in his position and Hall should start training at RB. Miller is an option there though. If there's any space in the finances then a proper RB is priority.

Now that I've calmed down (wife's anxiety is through the roof after my performance), we should have won that by 3 or 4 goals. Newcastle are shite in defence and their only threat is the 10 on their left and the dead ball specialist Penha or whatever his scum name is. If you give them a dead ball within range you might be in trouble but otherwise he makes very poor decisions. He may score a few long range bombs but you'd be unlucky to conceed them.
So good to have Ruon back and our defensive capabilities have not taken a hit from last year. I'd put a sneaky ten'er on us to be the best defensive team this year I'd we can sort out an option for Roux. Any other right sided Farrells going around in the academy? Or maybe can we get Hall or Miller up to speed there?

Urena at 75% is still better than any player out there. Second half showed he has to play deeper and not a point man. His running with the ball and vision is sublime.

he does have quality but he needs to show it more and work hard to be able to show it more.
That break away one on one in the first half he should’ve buried, a player of high quality buries that every day. He butchered it for himself
Looked disinterested for an hour. No excuse for that.
moresche comes on and buzz’s around constantly and showed his quality off the back of that.

I knew it would take about 5 or 6 games for Moresche to start to show his quality. Just wait, it's going to explode if he clicks with Marco.

Shit conditions again, once we get some warmer weather the Latinos will blossom!

How fkin great it was to see the little nugget get his first goal, what a legend!
