I really like Paul Mullin and I love the story but it's difficult to compare him and Brennan. Brennans first two chances he doesn't get because the first was down to movement and pace and if Mullins were of that level he'd have scored 60 last season. The other chances, yeah, definitely an argument that he could have put them away but Brennan was making a lot of these chances for himself. I'd like to see Mullin given a shot against Gibraltar, it would be a decent introduction into the set up. Mullin has enough pace to get into that position for sure. That's one of his trademark moves running in behind like that. Also he scored 47 in 53 games, almost a goal a game. 60 is unheard of at that level, and yet plenty of strikers have played in the NL, scored less, and done well in the Championship |

You're making my point for me here. This video is a compilation of 8 goals scored by Cullen, 7 of which are tap ins and 1 is a slick finish In no way comparable to the point I've made about Mullin. Honestly I get the vibe that people haven't watched the Mullin compilation. It gives you a great feel for what type of striker he is. Believe me, you can see what his skill set is. And it's not a cherry picked highlight real, it's just all his goals presented as they were In agreement. Mullin has all sorts of goals. Outside the box, headers, goals from tight angles. Half those in that compilation of Liam were as you say tap ins or very fortunate that he got the rub of the green. |

He might not get into those positions but Johnson doesn't get into the positions Mullin would either. Comparing the two based on events that happened will always favour Johnson. Brennan is a better player, but we cant keep goinv with him as a striker. |

Would love to see Mullin given a start against Gibraltar. However, I'd also like to see Cullen given some game time too. Cullen contributes more than goals. His intelligent running opens up space for others. Piroe only started scoring last season when Cullen came into the side, and Piroe himself said how he benefitted from playing with Cullen. It would be interesting to see how Cullen would fare alongside Mullin. No better opportunity than the next game to find out.

After his two goals today i logged knowing one hundred percent there would be a get him on the plane comment,the or at least the bus did make me laugh though  .And the guy would clearly be the most natural goalscorer we would have in the squad, Gibraltar, Croatia whoever giving the goal scoring chance he knows how to put in in the net,i wouldn't mind him in the squad in the least. |

His second goal was better, imo. For me that's the sort of goal that is hyped up to get hits on a video and was good (accurate and with defenders tight to him) rather than spectacular. |

Not sure it's been posted here but Mullin's eligibility comes from his paternal-grandmother who was born in Newport

Agree that's probably put a spanner in the works. If he carries on scoring goals he could come back in contention, but looks like for now Cullen will get his chance which is probably fair |

Paul Mullin is on the standby list, and is "one injury away" from the squad according to Page

It's not that they're not as consistent, it's just that they haven't hit their stride yet. Give it a few weeks, and I think you'll see a much higher level of performance on a weekly basis |

Don't think they've been great starters in the last couple of seasons (relatively speaking) plus they're bedding in new players. They don't seem to be blowing teams away but still getting results and seemingly better defensively. Their best player is beginning to hit his stride apparently too ( he's Welsh qualified by the way |

I think the aim for Wrexham was always playoffs wasn't it? I think Notts County's style means they will always adapt quicker to a higher level than Wrexham, but I think it would be a great season for both if they ended up in the playoffs - imagine a playoff final of Notts County vs Wrexham for promotion to League One. The documentary editors would be in for a field day!

The documentary editors would be in for a field day! Christ no, think I’ve had enough high pressure games with them to last a lifetime. Dreading going to Meadow Lane on Saturday. But yes I think the vast majority of us would be happy with playoffs but we’re well in with a shout of the 3 automatics. Finding out pretty quickly that anyone can beat anyone in this league and even the Stockports and Notts County’s aren’t safe. |

#thirdintheleague by 1 on goals scored? Statement win. NC have had their glitches this season but that's a huge result. I think you should be aiming higher than play offs. Third of the season gone and in the promotion places. Promising. Incidentally when was the last time our 4 EFL teams all won on the same day! |

Incidentally when was the last time our 4 EFL teams all won on the same day! That's a great question! Assuming we're asking when they last won in the Football League it must have been late 80s. Newport were relegated from the Football League in 1988, but they only won 6 matches that season, so unlikely a Welsh quadruple occurred that year. Interestingly all 4 clubs were in the same Division (4) that season, but Cardiff and Swansea both went up, while Newport were relegated at the end of the season. www.footballsite.co.uk/Statistics/Seasons/1987-88/Div41987-88.htm |

Scarborough and Darlington went altogether although there are "phoenix" clubs for the two towns. Interesting to look at old tables, a couple in there now of course in the Premier League! |

I find this clamour for a bit of a journeyman to be included as a bit daft myself.
Sheehan, Poole, Lee Evans were all standout performers in League Two when teenagers/early 20s and never got as much as a friendly squad until they left for "bigger" clubs.
Are we so desperately short of options that we have to consider League Two/Conference veterans? And, if so, why not pick the EFLs top scorer instead?

Bit confused, the top scorer in the EFL is Matt Smith of Salford, who is English. |

Well taken goal in the cup away to Mansfield. Knows exactly where he wants to put the ball and instinctively creates the best way to carry that out.
Hope they get another run so he comes up against quality opposition.

9 in 14 for Mullin this season who had already answered the question of "yeah but can he do it in League Two" before a ball was kicked this season. He's becoming undeniable given the options we have.
