I think Tharme is there as the warrior, leader, just basic defender for the future.
I was worried when he was first brought in if he was there to play 'ArtellBall'. However I genuinely think it'll be those around him who will be the ones bringing it out and passing it. You can't have everyone doing the same thing.
That said, with games under his belt Tharme looks far more assured with the ball at his feet and doing actual stuff with it.

I'm sure that if Artell wants to play out from the back he and the recruitment team will identify players who can do this. Don't forget he inherited players who , in hindsight, couldn't play the way he wanted them to.

Where's this idea that Tharme is slow come from? Seems OK to me, pace-wise. A typical League Two defender. He looks better than the rest defensively and we all know about that throw.

I really really hope this vanity project gets shelved and he realises that L2 is not the place for this . Ffs Dortmund fooked it up last night trying to play out and it could cost them a place in the CL semis . I just can’t see the benefit of attempting it at L2 level.

Any time we have to attack and he get's turned around- 3 or 4 examples second half against Harrogate . He needs a mobile companion or to consistently defend deep - he's looked very good in the back 5 when in the main we have either been sat behind the ball or cautiously attacking .

I am dubious in truth aswell . Maybe it can work , with the right players /budget - MK have not done badly but Notts the other one's who try and play total football got found out really badly . Mansfield play a bit and looked good + might get promotion but it's been a long process for them with a lot of ££££ thrown at it . Most of the other teams who do well seem to mix it up well at this level or just have better players (see Wrexham & Stockport ) neither of them exactly looked like Real Madrid in the games against us just effective and clinical . I hope the 'teams who do well make over 600 passes a game ' quote wasn't something he is taking seriously or will try and implement ; hopefully just a broader insight as teams (any) who do well at league 2 level very rarely pass that number .

Sadly he inherited players who can barely play anyway at all.

If he does attempt to create a team that makes 600 passes a game I guarantee it will only end up getting him the sack and we’ll have a seriously negative goal difference and be in a similar position when in the league when the next manager takes over .
