Mullers Gone To Bantams - Page 19

I agree with TM. I think Mullin's return would be a serious backward step. Let's face it, it was only after he went that we started to put a few results together.Thanks, Paul, for everything, but it's time for the club to move on.

You are pretty shrewd for an old git, Stan - and the Bradford fans know a thing or two also, as per this typical comment on their forum:-

"Yes, no more big useless target men like Conlon and Mullin thank you very much, if you are staying Stuart

I got slaughtered on here by Northern and Northern Monkey after I criticised Mullin after his first game for us and for dare suggesting that the decision to bring him in would prove fatal to our play-off chances..I dont know what the thinking was for bringing him in as a like-for-like replacement for Conlon, but its plain to see the difference in style of play when we have started games without those two is staggering and we look a very good team at this level when we keep it on the 'deck'

I really hope Stuart stays and learns from this and re-builds a hungry, younger team worthy of our support next season"

Don't no where you get your stats from!! when we started stringing that run together ie(6 game unbeaten) paul played in 3 of the games ,macc away (w) county (D) vale (W) then went to bradford next 3 games ie exeter(W) darlo (W) roth utd (D) and sinces that run 3 loses and 2 wins.So in my book paul was apart of our winning run,not as you say after he left

I think we'd be better off without mullers next season - we could do with his wages to sign up/keep other players. But we have him on contract so as long as he now has to fight for his place in the team rather than be the first name on the sheet it could allow us to develop new tactics, whilst still having the option of the mullin game. In other words we should be more flexible and less predictable - and might be able to change formation effectively during a game when required. Think paul may be regretting?

Spoke to Coley last night at the O.S.C. do and he said that Mullers was coming back. I know that nothing is definite and I would not really expect Coley to say, (In a bar at an E.O.S. do) no he is not coming back, but he seemed pretty forthright in his reply. I for one would like him back, like his attitude and he is still able to do us a job (With the right players)

mullers is too slow at this level. now he has been a brilliant servant but as the song says the times they are a changing........thank you paul for your service but maybe a supersub...sorry but when you look from afar things become clear..

He's quicker than most of our players actually.

Why must Paul Mullin be absconded for us to play a different style of football?! Mentals. It's John Coleman who manufactures the tactics we employ, it's upto him whether the long ball is played or not. I've still got full faith that Paul Mullin can do a great job for us in the coming season.

Paul Mullin is a wonderful player at this level, next season he will put in his normal high level of goals.

This season he's got 7 league goals, 8 in total.
Scored with very little service & being marked brutally in most games.

He's missed a few sitters, but so do the best. He can clearly still do a great job for us.

not really, my line of thought is simple, stanley IMHO have played a much better standard of football this season, rather than the old "Lump it up to Mullen" which i saw last term,i much prefer it n can see advancement if they carry on that way.

He meant you got your facts wrong as you got them from the official website which is run terribly- hardly anything on there is kept up to date.

You lost me at that point. I can no longer take anything you say seriously anymore.

As I said earlier, I have nothing against Mullin and I certainly hold no grudge against him for leaving Stanley. However, I do think that it's a shame that he still has a year left with us.

I know he'll be back and give 100% again, but I'd have liked to have seen what we'd have done without him.
