Although a prolific goalscorer would be nice i wouldn't take mullin out of the team as he makes so many goals with his flick ons and strength by holding the ball up, the goals being scored isn't a problem for us as i am confident we can score in any game we play home or away, it was the defence as we were leaking to many but we look to have sured up n ow which is fantastic. We do not rely on one person to bag us our goals which other teams in the league do, twiss of morecambe, sills of aldershot and richards of woking, we are full of goals from people all around the team and even the bench which is also a nice luxury

but mullin is what 30 odd now we wont have for ever and when we get promoted goals from the midfield wont be good enough

Teddy Sheringham is 36, he plays in the premiership! He as mullin doesn't rely on pace in his game, that is why he can play at the age is is. What is stopping Mullin carrying on for another 4/5 years as he relies on holding the ball up, heading the ball and using his football intelligence by getting into useful positions?

totally agree with you zayno but sorry to correct you, Teddy is 39!!
he'll be 40 before the season's over; legend!

According to the official site the club are looking to sign Phil Edwards permanently in the next few days.

This is indeed a fantastic signing and a real coup for the club. I can hardly believe it, as the lad is sheer class!!!

I think its a great thing that someone of his ability also WANTS to stay permanently with us....

look at alan shearer how old is he?

People have a go at Mullin when he's not scoring, forgetting that he is in fact a target man, and isn't really there to score goals, more to hold the ball up and help create them. The fact that he scored so many last season is a tribute to how good he really is. And whether he's 21 or 31, he's still a remarkably fit player, and spends more time on the pitch than any other of our players. Plus he seems immune to injuries, great player and a real asset to the club

but shearer and sheringham are quality mullin isnt as good as everyone says hes allways missing simple chances that brown/boco could put away easily as for signing edwards he is a good player and i would love to see the team a bit like this-
elliot
cav edwards tretton richardson
jaggers craney barry roberts
boco brown

IrishRed · 10-01-2006, 18:12
