From what I've read CCM was fairly comfortable and in control in that game. Obviously the bulk of the reporting is by CCM supporters who are obviously a tad biased but it's worrying that we're so late in pre-season and haven't really done much of note.
When's the Jets game?
Your number 9 is a very decent player he impressed me a lot tonight ...
We also miss him, but it's time to move on.
Last Year we had the best pre season ever and had our worst start of the season. What I am concerned with is that we need to start playing our first team pretty soon. Vidosic Rossi Durante AK Krishna Paracki all on the field at once. Need to start testing our combinations.
Durante also needs to show that he is up to it and deserves his starting spot.

Agreed..not good that we are not playing our first choice team so close to season start

If we do, I wouldn't want it played in a preseason game against an A-League opponent. I would test it against a local club side here.
No sight of Rossi since the red card at Porirua.
Is there an injury thing going on here??
CCM have uploaded some highlights, only CCM ones ofc

...and didn't he start in the game on Saturday?
Rossi also had 3 months off prior to joining camp - he was used as an example of how the club has things wrong by the coach... his conditioning was poor coming in and he has had injuries. Slowly but surely may be the prudent course of action. Too important to lose to injury.
Rossi seems like he has been getting recurring injuries for a while now; best to be cautious. Seems the type that doesn't really need a pre-season to do better than every other CB in our squad anyway.
Highlights from last night http://www.nbnnews.com.au/2017/09/13/mariners-sho...
From the awful livestream on facebook i used to watch the game, there was very little to take away from the match. We were bossed for most of the game, but their lineup (especially the midfield) was a lot stronger than ours and much closer to full strength. Worryingly Kwabena Appiah looked decent against Doyle, and Galloway seemed to piss around with the ball too much instead of getting crosses in. Bout it, really

I believe from memory we were 100% unbeaten in pre season last year

Apart from the FFA cup
Just double checking everybody has seen the venue change - Jack McLaughlan Oval in Edgeworth NOT Cessnock as previously listed! #COYN https://t.co/EoIsvNams2

Disappointing to see we wore our ugly grey kit when the Nix twitter was selling it as "Battle of the Stripe(y)s"
You actually want to see two team wearing black/yellow and Navy blue/yellow stripes?

Wouldn't actually make a difference on Twitter

Much nicer ground than Cesspit

Yep the ol Phoenix tactic, get up to the opposition goal line but instead of crossing we pass it all the way back to Durante, whom could either pass back to Moss or sideways for two minutes back and forth and lose the attacking ability. Sometimes last season I thought he was our attacking midfielder with everyone passing it to him all the time.
We beat Brisbane in preseason when they had their awesome year, and Sean Lovemore looked better than 12 goal Kosta.

Who is 12 goal Kosta?
I'll let you know in seven or so months.Hopefully there is a couple of em
Madness, we scored in pre-season
So, a 2 - 1 loss to the Jets, we are equal with Sydney. Good that Vidosic got a bit of game time.
I'm pretty worried about the start of this season, we seem massively under done.

The Jets winner was scored by Joe Champness, he is scoring a few in pre-season. Kiwi born but has played for Aussie underage teams, he could very well be this seasons Dane Ingham.
it is a concern that they much touted news signings have yet to get much game time. So not much positive change from last season really
Maybe this is the year we had to have the spoon?.
Not overly worried quite yet. Paracki wasn't playing and it sounds like we dominated the 2nd half + when Vidosic came on it sounded like he was very involved in play.

I'm comfortable with the preseason so far. It's the first time in ages that we have had a full squad of 23 assembled this close to the start of the League. Not only have we got a full squad, we finally have a little bit of depth and competition for places.
You can't win the League in the first few weeks.
But getting off to a good start helps.
