Colin Hawkins Will Start

[Jake Manthorpe]

Why is everyone saying he will only be in the side if one of the other 2/3 center backs are injured?

He is what we need, a bit of exsperince along side Elphick..
Lynch with have to settle for the bench IMO

What do you think?

 

[Da Man Clay]

I actually agree, think he will probably start over Lynch. He has already been mentioned as captain material by Adams I believe.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Under Adams... probably right... an old fashioned leader at the back in this division

 

[Man of Harveys]

Sorry, I seem to be getting very spelling pedantic in my old age but please, Colin only ever with only one L - unless it's a surname.

 

[scarfer1]

Lynch might well be deployed at left back - I think a bit of experience at the back can only be a good thing plus it sorts out the problem full-back slot

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

I would be very surprised if that was the case. If Lynch and Elphick both say and are with us next season I cant see Adams marginalising one of them. There is the potential to play Lynch out on the left but I dont think either of them will settle for a spot on the bench. I would expect Hawkins to have to break into the team rather than being guaranteed a place.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Hmm, i'm not sure.

When fit, when consistent, Lynch is CLASS, potentially better than Elphick.
However, it's Elphick who was the solid and consistent one last season.

Really can't see them being dropped until bans/injuries kick in.

I think it will depend on whos playing well, stating the obvious i know but theres no given starting place for anyone. i think also different teams play different styles so this will also effect the starting pair, if there is even a pair of centre backs.

But Experience has always been splet with an s has it? i bet you didnt even bother reading his post, you just wanted to comment on a spelling mistake what a f***ing tosser!

 

[Conkers]

It all depends if we have mustered up a left back by the start of the season. I know that is the position we need the most but if by some freak of nature we don't, perhaps the best option is to play Lynch at left back and allow Hawkins to play at CB.

Perhaps MoH has an interest in the correct spelling of the name Colin. Just a thought. Why call him that name? Would you do so on over hearing him comment as such in real life?

Please take a reality check on what is REALLY important in life.

Ok, fair point, but leave the poor kid alone, why pick up on every spelling mistake, hes only trying to make a valid comment and you get stupid old gits trying to show him up. just really pisses me off.

The point is that with a new manager in place it's a clean slate so breaking into the team is not a problem. They'll all be assessed over pre-season and what the gaffer knows of them previously. There are no guarantees for anyone (except Kuipers obviously).

Piss you off it may do - but you could have got your point across without the effing T comment. Just seemed overkill in the derogatory sentiment.

The "effing may not of been needed but the tosser was, i might even add a second Tosser in there for you as well

Thanks for that sometimes i take a few minutes to double check my spelling and grammer because i know some sad fucker will try and correct me!

 

[Easy 10]

Lynch at left back ?

*shudder*

 

[Mendoza]

Lynch is a brilliant centre back, no way would I drop him to play left back either. He doesnt have the pace to get forward.
I like the combination of a no nonsense/ball playing centre back combo.

Lynch and Elphick fit that bill perfectly. If Hawkins does start, Elphick would be the one to be dropped I think.

Lynch at left back is suspect, look at Mansfield game, when he looked completely out of his comfort zone
