Mandatory McNulty thread

[boo radley]

yes but - what has he tried of your missus

He's more likely to frequent your end of town than mine so be very careful. He's also likely to bring the Lollipops to your house so you can pass them on to your favorite player. He also knows your a big un so get thi boots ready for a comeback.

 

[Barney]

Bet he's endeavoured to

He might have done but likewise, as he's highlighted, it was never more than an endeavour. I mean, he's alluded to it before, but, on reflection, when you're playing Satdi Tuesdi Satdi Tuesdi, it's a hard grind and sometimes you just don't have the time for tasting any apple crumbles.

he is not "my" favourite player - I do think he is a decent player who hasn't been given a chance under Adkins, nothing more than that. I give you Sammon/Done failures - Adams, just hasn't progressed. As a team we haven't scored enough goals. Mcnulty might have been shit but couldn't have done any worse than what Adkins kept.

As for boots - look at the defending at Fleetwood - couldn't really be any worse and you do see better in Norfolk Park on a Sunday. It's been our problem this season, and last, and the seasons before that.

Higdon scored yesterday. Get him back in.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Another shit house that needs shifting on, along with 20 odd more .

He would not have done any better than those you mentioned either. Why, because their is no team ethic, oh as as I write Mc Nuts was less of a team player than any of those mentioned so he would have been worse.
He actually may be developing better where he is because he certainly would not have developed better here. He may also be learning a team ethic as well so if he comes back he may well be a totally different player to the player we let go.
As for your boots, I probably do see better at some Sunday games and you being a big bloke if you played CH, I'm sure you never left the space their chap had in the center of the box for the first goal

 

[Silent Blade]

Just scored.

Best thing since sliced.

on bench tonight. NGE

They've been rotating their strikers because they have some decent strikers, we have one who's been playing through injury. Now that's not good enough, mate.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Zida... Sorry, Doyle has just scored Madr...Sorry Portsmouth's third at Rom... Sorry Accrington Stanley in tonight's Champi... Sorry, L2 match.

Pompey winning 3-0 which suggests they play more as a team without McNulty

They've also been winning when he's been starting and scoring. Like I've said before, if we had someone better than him other than Sharp then i wouldn't say anything about it but we haven't and that's poor planning.

McNulty comes on the pitch after 73 mins but 10 minutes later the team concede a goal

That's it then, he's shite

Joking aside, a team naturally sits back when they're 3-0 up away from home, especially against a team who were unbeaten in 8 games at home.

 

[1973Blade]

It's ChrIstian Nade we need, he scored a hat trick for Dumbarton today!

Pompey winning 3-0 after 85 mins decide to give sub McNulty a 5 mins run. Yes he scored but Notts County were in disarray by then

 

[robbiez666]

not good enough to start in League 2. woohooo

Second best goals to minutes ratio among league two's top scorers as well.

Plenty of ex blades in that list.

JJ O'toole, Billy Paynter (shudder), Lyle Taylor, Shaun Miller.

I hope Pompey don't go up as they'll be a challenger next year. Is it too late to loan them more players to fuck em up!?

They should be absolutely walking League Two. There's nothing to suggest that they'd do any better in L1 next season should they come up.

In fact, if they did come up they might sign Hammond. That would make it worthwhile.

Just think budget wise and with their fans backing it gives them more of a chance of challenging for promotion than say Accrington. But saying that burton and Rotherham have carried on the momentum of promotion so whoever it will be has a chance I guess.

 

[JohnDenver]

Good header from the lollipop kid.

 

[JackSUFC]

I hope he does keep scoring to be honest. It'll increase the likelihood of Pompey or whoever else paying a fee to take him off our hands in the summer.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Got a minute (plus injury time) off the bench for Pompey this aft.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35902548

No doubt reason for wild, jumpers-on-shoulders celebrations with his muckas in the exotic Portsmouth nightspots till the early hours...

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Pompey win, dominantly, 4-1 away.

"Goal Machine McNulty"'s role? A minute off the bench in the dying embers...

[Alfreton14Blade]

Oops! Brought back into the starting eleven. Pompey lose 3-1 to basement-dwellers York. Sparky draws a blank...

Whatever happens this season, just hope that the wasters are kept excluded now that they've been frozen out.
Not just plenty of out-of-contracts that need shipping out, plenty of still-on-contracts need politely but firmly showing the door too.

Might have taken Nige a (long) while, but his slow but sure policy of whittling the squad down to the reliable basics really does look like it's bearing fruit now.
If not this season, then next...

 

[sitwell]

I had a bit of a go at Kennedy on twitter at the weekend ,he tweeted about 'having' to train on Sunday morning but he responded favourably ,another one frozen out ,Clough would have been crucified for doing the same job.

I've never understood the logic of saying it is the incumbent mangers fault for no one wanting to buy an ex managers shit players; especially when the wages they can offer are miles lower.

Frozen out but sad as it seems, he needs disposing of due to his fitness problems. He and Harry could have kept their partnership together for years given better fortune, but life's cruel.
