Tombola back to sutton

Thought he was/is the ideal substitute, lots of pace and trickery for the final 10-15 mins. Rarely had a good 90 mins when he did play, but good for small cameos

The thing about Tom is he does not know what he is going to do next so the defenders have no chance .

He is better suited to non league where he will be a success,

He did score one of the best goals seen at the Park last season though.

Cohen definitely did not play right back or wing back. Was a decent player though.

Which games have you seen Bolarinwa play in?

As for Dixon, who has suggested that we should get rid of him instead of TB?

Are you happy that Woolford starts every game?

Personally, I am losing a bit of patience with Slade. Seeing Woolford amble down the line with not a chance of beating his man Is a waste of a place. Kelly, well who knows but the signs are not good. I would have kept Bolly in preference to Kelly Dixon and Woolford and so I guess this speaks volumes about how I feel about slades recruitment policy UTM

I can remembering him playing 1 or 2 games at right back towards the end of the season when McDermott was injured (Newey must've been injured too as I'm guessing Croft played left back).

Cohen certainly played right back on several occasions. Away at Notts County, for one, where we won despite the fact that we had Tom Newey playing in central defence and Cohen, nominally a striker, at right-back. Just had a quick look in The Grimsby Town Story and the stats there seem to think he played right-back four times that season.

Fact is that last season, Bolarinwa won three penalties alone from getting beyond his full back with pace, the FB panicking and taking him down. We now have no one capable of doing that.

Bolly played down the middle once as I remember and looked a handful. Kelly and Woolford are poor signings along with Matt and JJ and shows why Slade has never won anything.
Mills out wide right and Dembele out left IMO would be a  more potent pair.

I suspect the reason it's Bolarinwa leaving and not Kelly is because a club actually wanted to sign him.

post of the week ...........

Mills is a flipping defender and has never shown anything to indicate he'd be effective as a wide player. He isn't particularly quick and isn't particularly tricky. A decent full-back but my mind boggles at the idea of playing him as a winger!

I understand Bolarinwa did sometimes play through the middle for Sutton so that's something we might perhaps have tried on occasion. As has been noted in the past, we don't have any other players with his combination of strength and pace so it's a pity we've not had him on the bench as a different option.

I do wish people wouldn't keep continually writing Matt off as a bad signing. He's got a good record at this level so can obviously do the job even if he didn't get off to the best of starts with us. Let's hope that he can kick on and start performing on the training pitch well enough to make the teamsheet a bit more often to show us how he achieved this good record. We could certainly do with more mobility up front. I think Hooper would probably do OK playing off the main striker as well, though he certainly doesn't have the attributes to be a target man. With Jones doing OK in the scoring stakes, he's not likely to get much of a look in but this may change if there are some injuries during the coming months. For that matter, Jones hasn't scored in the past 5 games either, so it's by no means certain he'll keep his place indefinitely.
