Joel Lynch

How was he brilliant he was a bungling donkey for those two games, Calvin Zola ran him all over the park. Elphick was doing both of the defenders jobs.

No, I don't agree. The defensive unit of Elphick and Hawkins was solid at the very start, I don't think Hawkins was completely out of his depth until Hooper raped him completely.

New manager, new chairman, more than half a new side, and we're 6th in the betting so likely contenders for a play-off spot. The way I see it there's no reason why Lynch can't pick up where he left off, provided he has the right attitude.

Exactly, that's why I feel he must partner Elphick at the centre of defence. Each indivduals diverse attributes complement each other hence why when they played together we finished 7th(albeit under different management). In order for us to advance it's mandatory these two play together as they are by far our most talented and gifted defenders in the squad at the moment.

Guy Butters played a rather massive part in us finishing 7th, to be fair.

Don't get me wrong Guy played a role, but our best defensive performances came when he wasn't in the team. Solid performances away at free-scoring Leeds and Forest is clear evidence of how essential Lynch and Elphick our to our defensive cause.

I love the Elphick and Lynch parternship, no question it was bloody brilliant and at Leeds and Forest especially, but for the dodgy decision on Murrays goal.... But Butters didn't "play a role", he was immense at times in my opinion and I know alot of people will agree. He was absolutely fantastic and he was massively missed at the back this season. It's funny, I never really rated the man, but as soon as he was gone I appreciated the role he actually played back there.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

What could happen of course is that Slade wants to play two ball-playing centre-halves. That would be a centre-back pairing of Tunnicliffe & Lynch.

 

[Rookie]

Can see us having a back line of

Smith

Whing Tunnicliffe Lynch McNaulty

Slade made it pretty clear he was not impressed with the defence last season and he rates Lynch

 

[glasfryn]

On a personal note I'm still hoping we can persuade Lynch to stay with us in the same way I'm hoping we can do the same with Murray, Both bloody good players with they're best years ahead of them and I'd like it to be with us.

Hawkins was brilliant at Crewe and Southend to be fair, if Scunthorpe hadn't happened... it all would have been so different.

I hope Lynch stays, he's class. And his attitude will be sorted out by Slade I reckon, no question.

agree with all of these comments and hope he stays but ...................if forrest come in with a massive offer(which I doubt) will we refuse to sell him?

Hope not!

 

[B.W.]

I doubt any club will come in with a massive offer, TBH... not even one that meets our valuation...

 

[Uncle Buck]

Well if he stays and plays, it'll give the fans a chance to boo him for being such a tart in the first place thinking he is too good to play for the Albion.

Even by your standards that is a rubbish idea.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Did you actually leave the Railway Museum at Crewe?

 

[RM-Taylor]

Even by your standards that is a rubbish idea.

So you're telling me that some Albion fans won't be on his back if he's still here?

Probably the same people that chant 'Potter is a wanker' but hid behind the group.

 

[Pavilionaire]

You'd have to be a bit of a twat to boo Lynch when there'll be 5 or 6 other players making their debuts, I'm sure that would create a pretty shit impression of us as home fans for them.

f***'s sake, there's bigger fish to fry...

Hid behind what group?

As it stands, the ungrateful prick is staying sadly. Lets hope he doesn't throw his toys out of the pram if he doesn't start the first three games again.

Ungrateful, how

He puts in years of effort to make it into the first team, and is kept out of the side by 2 players that aren't fit to wash his shirt.

Then he has to sit on the bench as the (mis)management that we have had to endure in recent seasons, plays just about any other player they can find at left back.

The kid is class, we are lucky to have him.

He needs to be encouraged to compete for his place with McNulty this season.
Or, play him in the centre.

But play him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[les dynam]

i think he'll start the season at left back... who else do we have until jimmy m is back? and if he's playing well he'll stay in the team even when the mac is back.

i like lynch. i like my football players to play football and i'd rather a lynch was in the team than a virgo.

i'm with you on this one brother! adams treated him very badly becuase his skills didn't fit. he came in against northampton and played very well only to be dropped for a crippled donkey. no matter how well lynch played adams wasn't interested. what would you have done in his shoes.
