Liam Smith signs on loan for Grimsby Town!

Quoted from Hagrid

highly rated so much so that he has only spent half a season prior to joining us in the EFL. Mullarkey cannot defend, he has been a liability down the right hand side, and when played centre back, he didnt look much better. Artell has seen that, Brought in a new RB and i'd be surprised if Mullarkey plays more than 5 times from now till the end of the season

He has played most times compared to all the others, so somebody likes him.
He can unnerve me when the backs are pressed, however, is good going forward and has some assists to his name. It will be interesting to see if he's picked as Stockport is good aerially in the box.

Is he really that good going forward?

Quoted from fishboyUTM

He hasn't been great at right back as he isn't a right back. Would imagine his confidence has been hit after being run ragged out of position. All I'm saying is don't write him off, he is highly rated when playing in his natural position as highlighted by Gab Sutton who knows his stuff.

Obviously one game isn’t a lot to go off but he played centre back against Crawley and looked even worse than he does at RB.

It appears that the same people who got in a tizz about people criticising Efete last season are the same ones who are happy to do the exact same to Mullarkey.

Is he really that good going forward?

I don’t think so, seems to be a bit of a myth that’s developed. Generally he struggles to go past a man and I think he looks awkward in possession plus his deliveries are inconsistent if we’re being kind. Put a peach of a cross in for Rose at Bradford and a good ball across for Eisa’s second against County but then has games like against Harrogate where he must have hit the first defender 10 times in the first half alone. He’s certainly not as good going forward as Glennon but is equally suspect defensively.

Quoted from GtfcGarner

That the little lad who gets his opinions based on everyone's fanbase opinion then links players with clubs as good options as he's signed them on Football Manager?

Though there are numpties that do this, Gab Sutton talks about stuff he’s researched and just shares it on social media, pod casts and via the web.

I would argue he’s better researched & informed than plenty of print jouno’s who just either share what they see on social media or gather from within the network of papers that are owned by the same people.

Like I say there are some numpties who talk bollox on Twitter especially during transfer windows what Gab Sutton does is talk EFL football but not in print copy.

It’s good as well as he’s not obsessed by the effing Premier League.

That’s the way I see him TBH.

I can't say I am a massive Mullarkey fan from what I've seen, I don't think hes particularly impressive going forward, technically I don't think hes all that amazing with some poor crossing, albeit his cross for Rose at Bradford was incredible, I will say about Mullarkey is that he seems to be press resistant which is not something I can say for many of our players

He has probably gone past more players than nearly every player in our squad (certainly more than Eisa) so far this season, its his crossing (along with everyone else) and defending that are the problem

So if he can’t defend or cross I think that would substantiate him not being selected.
