Mariners Squad 2022/2023

[VonBowellski]

Don't think he'll play much, missed too many training sessions ?

Got to love a good auto-correct. Especially when it doesn't make it any better.

Nectar Triantis and Garang Kuol both started this match:

 

[sydmariner]

The answer is YES,YES & YES!!!.

 

[Huddo]

The answer is YES,YES & YES!!!.

Nice bite sizes.

Simon Hill was a little more hesitant on the idea of taking Cummings, not saying he shouldn't go, but still having reservations (why? I'll never know, probably just to be the contrarian).

I'd prefer to have jmac or Taggart if we've got a penalty tbh but at the very least Jamie is a passenger without service and Taggart is never far from the physio bench. Cummings can score but his biggest point of difference is how he can drop deep and stay involved in a game when the service isnt there. I'm confident he would help us get more from the likes of Mabil, Boyle, etc.. who are really our in form attackers at NT level. Unfortunately he hasnt been integrated into the setup anywhere near early enough to take advantage of that and build understanding. Hopefully the next manager can see that.

Jmac has a spot but I'd take Cumdingo over Taggart any day of the week

 

[FFC Mariner]

Not sure we will get a lot of tap ins in the WC. Cumchip has a real work ethic, JM doesnt

Personally I don't think Taggart is in the conversation, Duke is more likely at the WC than Taggart.

Duke is locked in. Has been the most consistent forward this campaign so no question there. I don't love the selection overall but you can't deny where he sits in the pecking order and he brings something Arnold obviously wants.

Main issue is how many strikers we're willing to take. The easy answer if 3 is Duke, Jmac, Taggart. I don't think it's the best answer but it's probably the safest answer if you're looking to avoid criticism and isn't a hard one to defend. If they're taking 4 does Garang count or does he get viewed as a mid/wing? IMO you take Duke, either Jmac or Taggart and Cummings as your 3 main strikers but it would take some courage to leave one of those two out. If he was going to show that sort of courage you'd think there would be more evidence of it in previous selections.

I'd look at it as pick the 23 you were going to do. Then for the extra 3 spots who can change the game. Cummings, Kuol and Arzani all can do that and I would have all 3 on the plane.

Cut us some slack!

The WC is close and it's exciting - not least for Mariners fans proud of their lads. Cummings and Kuol are current Mariners... Ryan, Rogic, Duke, Redders and Rowles are former Mariners... and Arzani, Boyle and Mabil wish they were Mariners.

What's the chances of Kuol coming back to us until the end of the season? Would that affect his visa situation poorly?

Can't see how it would affect his visa situation.

Probably unlikely though. If he plays every game at the WC he might qualify for a work permit straight away. If not, NUFC will probably want to see how he goes in a Euro league.
