Jacob Melling – 4

Had a first half to forget. He made some very obvious and inexplicable individual errors. He also covered a lot of ground and got a lot of the ball. His team just cannot afford those sort of mistakes.

Aiden O’Neill – 4
 

If he wants to return to the UK and push his way into a senior team over there he’ll need to start performing better for the Mariners. He needs to take charge of this midfield and cover more ground. So far he hasn’t looked any better than young midfielders who’ve had their footballing education here rather than in the English football leagues.

Michael McGlinchey – 4

A very anonymous performance from one of our ANZAC brothers. He hasn’t started the season well.

Connor Pain – 7.5

Against his former employer he was Central Coast’s best attacking weapon. He often just didn’t have enough support. He and Tommy Oar made some great cross field runs during the first half. If his team mates had have played with his passion and drive this game might have had a different result.

Tommy Oar – 5.5
 

His hard work went unrewarded for the most part. He made excellent runs with and without the ball but there just weren’t enough of them. Oar went off injured early in the second half.

Ross McCormack –4.5

Playing as a number 9 he looks a lot more comfortable. However, this season he hasn’t looked like the striker who lit up the league for City.

SUBS
 
Andrew Hoole – 5.5

Looked good on the ball but also looked a little rusty at times.

Mario Shabow – 5

Accidently scored with his first touch. He was confident after that.

Jordan Murray – 4

Had a decent amount of game time taking over from Connor Pain but didn’t have an impact.
