Quoted from Grantley
I want to like Mullarkey but get the feeling he doesn’t really give a excrement and is more interested in his social media and fitness career. Ok player but not the sort of mentality we want imo.


Sort of mentality?

He got released from Crewe and left the professional game at 21 and fought his way back into the EFL at 27 after 5 and a half years. That never give up attitude is fairly impressive IMHO,

The jury is still out on Rodgers for me, he’s had brilliant matches but then a lot where he’s looked very shaky. I think Mullarkey has actually improved a lot this season and thought was one of the better players yesterday, would be interesting to see how a CB pairing of Mullarkey and Tharme would work in a back 4.

I think the new ‘model’ that has been talked about involves playing a back 4 and because of that I’m  not convinced we will see any CB signings in the summer, I think Maher will be released and then any defensive signings will be at full back, whether that’s Hume, Smith or others.


There’s absolutely no chance we start the season with just the three centre backs that are currently contracted for next season. We will sign at least one.

The new model isn't about dictating exactly how we play or what formation we must play, it's about playing on the front foot and not changing system to nullify the opposition.

Instead, we are looking to exploit the opposition, so the flexibility is there to change the system, except it's for a different reason to what we have been used to.

There is a time and a place for nullifying the opposition, but it shouldn't be what we do every week.

Rodgers looks good with the ball on the deck , knocking it around well . Not so sure of him in the air . Misjudged Orsi goal badly . I’d be looking to have him as backup.
I was hoping we’d keep Hume when he first signed but not so sure with recent performances. Definitely worth looking for other options before offering him a contract. He has been out for a long time before he signed though so suppose he’s still on the road back to his peak .

I agree about Rodgers but he seems to do better in a back 3 and since Tharme arrived.

Mullharkey definitely looks more comfortable in that set up, but I think we need at least 1 more CB next season, 2 if Maher doesn’t get a deal.

Full back is the big challenge, Hume looks like he can attack & get in behind but defensively he doesn’t look muck of an upgrade to Glenno. Smith is ok to be honest but as Cheltenham are coming down he may be back in their plans.

Need more proper lads like this in the team, not new age wokes like Mullarkey with his fruit and granola and that.

Quoted from Hagrid
Id be telling Rodgers he’s free to go. He’s been absolutely pants. He proved yesterday and throughout the season he cant play in a 4, and he’s not exactly glowed in the 5


I'd agree about not being comfortable with Rodgers in a back 4.

I also think that despite the widely accepted view of Tharme being a good signing and a consistent performer, that he may struggle in a back 4 too. Time will tell with that one as I accept we haven't really seen much of him in a back 4.

I was thinking the same.

Sounds like we want to play with a 4 which is a bit worrying with the players that we have. Saying that though confidence is such a massive thing in football. Also vital that the midfielder is better and offers more cover.

The only defenders we have who I think are good enough for a play off competitive team are Tharme and Hume, and maybe Smith. In my opinion. I’d try to move all the others on. I can’t see any of the young pros being good enough and I’d include Khouri.

Staggered how many of these release lists include Wilson, as if we’ve not learnt from the other 10 times we’ve released people with a half decent goal scoring records.
