Brayford and McNulty

[LJBlade]

I suspect being charged with rape doesn't foster team harmony either. Or failing a drugs test. The club has had no problem with letting players play in such situations.

By the sounds of things at the time it seemed that many of the players were quite supportive of Ched Evans in the lead up to his first trial.

I suspect that one of the main problems Wilder has with McNulty is his ability to go out and get pissed most weekends and the two occasions where it's got him into serious trouble.

In the 2nd season under Wilson we sold Blackman in January and replaced him with Jonathan Forte

I'd welcome him back, he seemed generally interested in returning.

Who....Brayford, McNulty or Ched?

It doesn't matter what 'the club' thinks or allows though. Wilder is in charge now and he's doing what he thinks is right. And whatever it is he's doing, it seems to have had a noticeable effect on team spirit.

And there's a big difference between a team mate being charged with something when you expect him to be found not guilty (which according to recent interviews appears to be the case) or failing a drugs test compared with vicariously calling a team mate a test on Twitter.

It's not just a case of what he's done or not done, it's whether the rest of the team think he's a cunt that matters.

They "let them play" because (a) Not Guilty until convicted and (b) Not Guilty until B sample analysed and opportunity given to dispute either A or B by offering a defence or, if accepted, receive mitigation such that no ban ensues.

You really are missing the point with regard to McNulty. Not only is his personality and effort for the team suspect but Wilder has identified that he isn't what he wants or needs at the moment.

Lets look at the evidence with regard to what McNulty got to show he was worthy of a start in the league and what Freeman and Coutts got to see if poor little Mac was hard done by.

La Manga - Coutts 45
Freeman 45
McNulty 45
Stocksbridge - Coutts - not selected
Freeman 45
McNulty 45
Derby - Coutts 11
Freeman - unused sub
McNulty 45
Halifax - Coutts 58
Freeman 20
Mc Nulty 32
Grimsby - Coutts 23
Freeman 4
McNulty 45
Handsworth Coutts 90
Freeman 90
McNulty 45
This was the last preseason game I think and it seems interesting that despite being in the bad books both Coutts and Freeman had done enough in pre season and training to warrant a look at over 90 minutes whilst McNulty didn't.

The whole purpose of a pre season is to identify the players you think will start or at least be within the squad. Therefore to say (as you have done) well no league minutes then so he didn't get a chance is disingenuous. First league game had McNulty and Coutts as unused subs and Freeman nowhere.

Following game against Crewe, McNulty got on for 20 and Freeman and Coutts were unused.

Rochdale none of them got on from the subs bench

Southend only Coutts got on for 45 in the second half

Millwall Coutts and Freeman started and McNulty got 1.

The next game and the start of our resurgence was Oxford and Freeman and Coutts started. Guess what? Brayford was fucked off, the concencus of opinion being that the great championship player couldn't be arsed. So was McNulty.

Your argument does not stand up. Pre season Mc Nulty got 257. Coutts got 227 and Freeman got 204. League wise None started well but at least Mc Nulty got on for 20. By Millwall CW had seem enough and Brayford and Mc Nulty were toast. However just remember that CW brought in Hussley and he was equally toasted. CW does't suffer bullshitters, shirkers, hiders or disrupters including billy big bollocks and their dads.

If and when McNulty turns up to the party, I will welcome him. Perhaps he best ditch his attitude first.

Only reason I would bring dickhead MC Nulty back would be to clean Scougalls boots..........Scooooooooougs, leave him at Bradford, might as well sit on there bench as ours.

I think there's obviously something about McNulty that concerns managers. Wilder is the third manager to want him out the place sharpish. As a player I think he has something to offer, he is a very good instinctive finisher, the problem is he doesn't put in the effort and in many games I've seen him you'd hardly know he was on the pitch at all until he scores. Still, that may come in handy I suppose but he won't get very far with Wilder if that's the case. I think we'll end up selling him to Bradford in January - and maybe we'll put that money towards buying a more reliable striker, say from Chesterfield?

We all know what concerns managers with McNulty and it is his off the field attitude and antics. Not sure why we have to go over this time and time again on this forum.

If recent events have shown us anything it's what you do off the pitch that can be just as important as what you do on the pitch. The sooner McNuts and his old man stop thinking he is the next Alan Shearer and that all he has to do is show up to be picked the better it will be for him.
