Cullen

[Jaggro]

Pearson signed him, but didn't play him, Barmby rated him, but now won't play him either, we agreed to sell him to Millwall, but having had him for a few months, they pulled out of a permanent deal. I think that probably says more about Simpson than it does about three managers and two clubs he's played for this season.

Maybe, but as I've said above, 4 goals in 11 should speak for itself. It's not an amazing record but it equals that of Fryatt. I half know in the back of my mind that I'm just too stubborn on the subject of Simpson and should probably accept that there's a reason for it all, but I doubt I'll drop it until he gets a real chance in the team, and if he doesn't, then I'll be all 'I told you so' if he does well elsewhere

It seems he isn't particularly impressing in the reserves or in training, but surely there have to be some players who you have to accept are just like that..
I'm doing my best not to keep repeating the exact same point but if managers think he's THAT terrible when he's managing to keep up a scoring ratio of a goal every 3 games (15 per season) then you'd think he'd be worth a shot.

Cullen will have to do more than play a half decent cameo in a single game before I start hailing him as our saviour.

One swallow does not make a summer and I still think he's an arrogant little prick.

You're probably still right. If he fires us to promotion it won't change whether he's a prick or not. I have no idea how he conducts himself but have no reason not to believe you.

Just in name of accuracy, he's scored 4 goals in 18 games this season(4 goals in 20 in all competitions), he scored 6 goals in 34 games last season and 12 goals in 39 games the season before that. It's not a bad record, but he has often scored a few when he first arrives at a club, then goes off the boil, as the DQPR fans told us he would when we signed him.

Personally, I think he's better than Mclean and I'd be quite happy to see him on the bench, but I still think that two clubs and three managers who've seen far of him than we have, probably know something we don't.

Thought he came on and did really well, very assured on the ball and took up great positions

Thought Cullen did well, no probs with him last night.

 

[Nick HCAFC]

He came on (I groaned)
He lasted 2 mins before 1st offside call (My head was in my hands)
He dropped deep (Oh Crap!)
Picked up the ball (hey up??)
Played it out wide to either flank (Crumbs!!)
Busted a gut to get back into Blackpools 3rd (Whaaaa?)
Went up for headers (EH?)
Gave their defenders a headache and generally played really well (Fryatt out! Cullen is our Messi!! Greatest player to ever wear the Amber & Black)

All Hail Sir Nick!!

All hail Sir Nick and the young squire Cullen, indeed!

A certain degree of arrogance in any sporting person is what gets them to the top. I haven't seen him very much but if his cameo at Blackpool is anything to go by he deserves a chance.

To be fair though, of those 34 games last season, how many were off the bench in the 85th+ minute?

You're probably right in all honesty, I just pretty much refuse to accept it until he shows us some consistently ****e performances in front of my own eyes
