Central Coast Mariners vs Ziggy Gordon's winning club.

[Ancient Mariner]

3-0 to us. A goal by Beni and a brace for Cummings, both with assists by Cy.

 

[Ozhammer]

Anyone know how Smith is going? Was it a bad injury

Fractured leg sadly, so that’s him likely done for the season

Thats a shame for him

 

[crock]

I reckon it will be 2 -1 to us tbh this will be a tight contest tbh

 

[marinermick]

Won’t be getting there until just before kickoff. Any place where parking would be best at this time?

 

[turbo]

when a draw would have been a better result for us

I'm not so sure about that. Adelaide have to play WU, Roar & WU. They should at least get 6 from that taking them to 40..
Sydney play roar and victory after ACL. They should beat Roar but Victory could go either way. Could end up on 34 or 35. Sydney burning a game for 0 points keeps them within reach. If we could have held them for a draw they would have been in big trouble.
Any of Nix, Macarthur, us or jets have a decent shot at jumping them with a half decent run home.

Bah what a shame. For him and us. He finally got a chance to show what he can do and his partnership with Faz was working brilliantly. Hopefully we hold onto both for next season and build on it. Poor Noah.

Oh rats, what a bad beat he was going so well.

I think he has done enough to get a new deal.

Is anyone bothering to make the trip after the 5-0 loss to the aerial shit's.

Plenty are going down according to facebook.

Tin hat firmly on.

Hatch is a uniquely Australian youth system product. No football brain, only interested in running fast and attacking. There is a procession of them from Kekeris, DRD, Silvera, Mitch Austin etc etc

Compare him with Faz and Hall - they have a good football brain. If you can coach it, I dont know how but I'm pretty certain you cant coach it into an adult. You can see it at Pluim. The rare kid with a good football brain stands out.

Could make a decent living in the AL bouncing from club to club but I dont think he is what we need on that side.

Sorry

You are right Fulham. Hatch is great off the bench for a 25 min blitzkrieg but is not suitable for 90 minutes. He has had two starts and failed miserably both times.

Been said already but this is a very important game. Do we fall off the horse or take the season by the throat?

Realistically our shot is for 6th.

MCI, WUN, MVC and ADL are virtually there. Nix have a reasonable draw and I can see them getting to 39. SFC will probably end up on 34 or 35 (and may miss out) but possibly 37. So let's say for safety we need 37-38 (11-12 points) to get in with 6 games to play.

We have a reasonable (not easy) run in. WSW, Nix and Scum away, WUN at home, Roar away followed by the final game at home against the Scum. 3 wins and a couple of draws or 4 wins.

A win tonight would just about kill off WSW chances and leave us needing 8-9 points from the remaining 5 games - quite doable.

A loss or draw tonight keeps WSW alive and means we are walking a tight rope each game needing 10-12 points from 5 games

I think we should take the bull by the horns and give 110%

Leagues club. Become a member after the game and the parking should be free.

We will be over the moon with result because we just treated every game as a cup final and were brave as lions.

Good summation, its going to be a nail biting run home.

Anywhere pregame?

Anywhere pregame?

I normally park at Belmore Park (10-15 min walk) if the side streets are chockers.
