Whats the Story with Nicky Travis?

[bulldogmariner]

he believed his own hype (probably read this forum) and became a destructive force in the club

has done more harm than good

 

[Wombat]

I think he was not used to playing with professional players with the skill levels of 11yo kids.

Clearly frustrated at times.

A decent coach would have had WeeMac and Travis carving up the opposition.

You'd need to be related to Jesus to get Porter and Bojic carving up anyone.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Yeah, being on loan with all those superstars at Chesterfield must have really opened his eyes

 

[bulldogmariner]

At 23 Travis has achieved nothing in his professional career. He had only one career first team match before he came here.

Travis has be woeful for 6 to 8 weeks now. As soon as it got hot these imports have turned to rubbish. Only game we did well in the heat this season was against Fury and the score flattered us. Travis turns the ball over too cheaply and thinks he the white Pele. He didn't make it not only at Sheffield United but a host of lower league clubs in UK. The signing of imports needs to be looked at for next season. Lower league english players will only come here if not playing first team football and thats the rubbish we have now. McGlinchey, Travis, Crowell and Brown are no better than Bojic, Porter or Heffernan otherwise they would be playing League 1 in england and first team football.

That ignorant and ill-informed post sums up what is wrong with CCM.
Too many people involved in the club...especially the coaching staff.....have only a rudimentary understanding of Football.

That is the most ill-informed, un-educated post ever..What creds do you have?

and how ironic is that

pedj played at a higher level in the UK than travis has ever achieved

unlike your wealth of football knowledge..??

I'm not the one making bizarre statements about our imports and the respective quality of Bojic and Porter.

I'm not claiming to know everything about Footy but have been playing it since I was 7 and watching it for that long also. 
It gives you a basic understanding of whats good and what aint.  I'm sure some of you are deeper thinkers than me, however my 11yo has more Football incite than some of the people that have posted on this site.

The Mariners have played terrible Football for most of the season.

Our squad is mostly average and we have quite a few players that no other club would want.

On top of that LM selections at times have been baffling.

 

[bulldogmariner]

Our imports are rubbish. 2 of team are playing NYL and deservedly so. What a waste of money.

 

[FFC Mariner]

To be fair I reckon Huke would have gone ok for us if he hadnt got injured and for the brief cameo's he makes, Doig is ok (last week notwithstanding)

 

[Wombat]

I find your pack mentality amusing.

Take your head out of the sand boys and take off the rose coloured glasses.

Try talking to other people that actually play Football and ask their opinions on CCM.

You might be suprised what people actually think.

You are critical of the coaching "staff"!! What sort of coaching licence and or coaching experience at any level do you have..If you were that goose that wrote the letter to the editor a few weeks beck in the local rag, that will do me..

What does it say about our squad the player you are putting shit on is superior to the players you defend each week and who let us down most weeks.

huke is a  hero and shows passion beyond almost all on park when playing even in youth..

 

[daddy cool]

Oh we know what they think.javascript:void(0);

 

[FFC Mariner]

Travis has played 4 or 5 decent 60 min shifts for us at best. The GC game at home and Melb away 2nd half come to mind immediately.

He is incapable of handling a 90 minute game of football in our climate (by his own admission)

No one is actually denying that he is surrounded by some very average footballers either.

His contract ends this year and Boogs got picked up by another HAL side before he did, as did Heff. No one in UK has come in to rescue him either (so far in this window).

My point is you measure the strength of a side by how many would be picked up by SFC/GC/MV. I would suggest that only Danny, Wilko, possibly Wee Mac would be snapped up by those 3.

World class swearing too. V Impressive

Coached both my kids teams. Have coached AA4 and AA6 in KDSA and over 35's on the Coast.
Captained or been asked to captain most teams i've played it.
Average player but can tell the difference between shit and clay.
I have no badged qualifications...and don't have the time to change that.
Why would i write to the paper you muppet.
Travis and WeeMac were excellent imports that would have excelled elsewhere.
