Agree with this, which kind of begs the question; what on earth has Toby Mullarkey been doing slumming it down in non-league until the age of 27? From what I’ve seen he looks every bit a top-end League Two full-back.

Late developer?


Do you not think we are getting a little carried away after 1 game?

Mullarkey looks decent and Conteh had a good game. Everybody seems to think we will struggle to keep hold of them. I think they will do well but I'd be surprised if by January people are still so excited by those 2.

You'd think in Clifton we have the ideal L2 central midfielder for making late bursts into the box to try and get on to the end of it. In fact, Harry's movement and timing of his runs are probably the main thing he's improved on in the last two years to take him to the next level. I would also fancy Hunt to at least hit the target if he was around the edge of the box looking for any deflections or knock downs. I think the ingredients are there for a good team, just got to get the blend and application right but I'm sure we will.

Didn’t even make the National League until age 26 so certainly an excellent spot given we were apparently trying to sign him in January

The XI was as most of us suspected, just the actual way they lined up perhaps less so.

I like to think that we've got enough in the team now to really go and teams and make them worry about us.  Clifton wide and Hunt sitting deep alongside Conteh feels more about us worrying than the other way round.  

It's first game and I think Hurst might have factored in the unknown element and obvious fatigue late-on, but I do think we could have been a bit braver with Eisa wide and Hunt further up alongside Clifton.  

That said though, the attacking options we've got are exciting and on most days I do fancy at least one of Vernam, Eisa, Mullarkey or Glennon to find their man/the goal from when we overload teams.  Saturday was just one of those days were none of them hit the spot.  We'll also have better options off the bench than two guys with only 15 minutes in their tanks.

We need to enjoy both Conteh and Mullarkey whilst we can because neither will be with us too long, unfortunately.  Both look levels above and it's kudos to the club for attracting them.


Not sure yet I agree that our attacking options are exciting, I thought we looked ineffective in the penalty area.

Our crossing and passing into the box was pretty dire on the day. Their right-back alone managed many more decent crosses than all of our team put together.

Hopefully, it was just an off-day and we can put some better balls into the box in most games.

It looked as though the partnerships weren't really there yet. The links between defence and midfield were a bit hit and miss - not many overlaps, not anticipating runs - that sort of thing. Early in the season so hopefully they will gel better the more they train and play together.
