Hyundai A-League interim head coach Jean-Paul de Marigny has named his squad set to travel to the Central Coast this Sunday. Sign-up to MATE, internet from $59, mobile from $20. 1 month risk free guarantee!
The Red and Black are currently ninth on the ladder, six points outside the top six having picked up just one win from their last 11 Hyundai A-League matches.
While the Mariners have shown some positive signs under Alen Stajcic this season, it’s been a case of one step forward, then two back for the men from Gosford.
After their amazing win over Melbourne Victory on January 12, the Mariners have lost to Western United FC and Brisbane Roar to lost ground on the top six.
They did defeat the Wanderers 3-1 the last time the two clubs met at Central Coast Stadium (20 April, 2019), but that ended a run of five consecutive defeats against the Western Sydney on home turf.
de Marigny will be bolstered by the return of young guns Keanu Baccus and Tass Mourdoukoutas who have returned from international duty while new signing Simon Cox has been promoted to the squad with Jordan O’Doherty and Kosta Grozos.
