Quoted from Davec


I saw a stat on Twitter when he signed which was posted by some kind of analyst that Tharme only had a passing success rate of about 50%, if that's accurate then that's not very good regardless of these are "progressive" passes or not.

Hopefully it is innacurate as we do need a ball player in defence I feel to enable us to play the Artell way


Yeah I saw the same thing, I watched him play for Blackpool against Burton in the tinpot trophy a week before he signed and he was pretty comfortable against what was a essentially a first Burton 11, only watching it because my Liverpool vs Fulham stream somehow ended up on that. I was shocked to see that he'd only made like 6 appearances for them as I thought it was a bit of a coup for us.

There was an interview with him on the club YouTube channel last week. I thought he came across really well.


Yep and a longer one pre Harrogate. Totally agree he really does.

Hopefully he will do the same on the pitch.

Didn't he play alongside Harvey Rodgers at Accrington?


And Rodgers was apparently the better of the two

He used to be called Doug The Arm but he decided to subtly change his name so it wasn’t a giveaway.
I can't remember where I read it now, but it stuck in my mind -  don't take his nice as pie on media or something, he's more like Doug the Thug out on the pitch! lol I guess that mean's he's not afraid to get stuck in.

I doubt he's the first player to drop an 'E' either......👀

That's probably twice as good as our current defenders passing ability 😁

Bloody hell, give him a chance, he hasn't even played for us yet!


Nobody is writing him off, we are just quoting what we have seen and heard! What's the point in posting on a forum if we aren't allowed to do that?

You are correct in that he was the lesser of the two stalwarts who oversaw Accrington’s relegated defence.

Southport fans raved about him ,sounds like he was too good for non league but struggled with the step up to league 1 . A no nonsense CB who lacks pace with a loopy long throw going off Blackpool fans summary ; they seem to think he needs games at league 2 and maybe is good enough for this level - lets hope so .

So he's quick and slow, good and excrement on the ball, probably dominant and dominated in the air too?  

Gonna be a wait and see one here. Not getting excited because Southport raved about him or worried that Blackpool didn't seem to think he was up to it. Different levels.
