Joel Lynch

[Sheebo]

He's not a cock though is he.
As much as I didn't want him to, his reasons for leaving were fair.

Yes I can confirm that in my opinion he is a cock and I have varous reasons for this point of you - 1 being him in the Sportsman getting cash out the machine about 1 hr before KO in a game he STARTED a few yrs back - lack of respect there... and other things i know i do not wish to discus on here

What about his reasons for leaving? Do you know them?

I would agree with your assesment as McNulty is a better left back now and Tunnicliffe is potentially a better centre back.

I agree about McNulty. But why is Tunnicliffe potentially better? He is in the exact same position as Lynch was two years ago, except with a little less ability. He makes just as many mistakes as Elphick, Virgo and Lynch make.

Better in the air, better passing, less prone to lapses of concentration, more of an attacking threat at set pieces.

Lynch was quite good at dribbling out with it, though.

Except Tunnicliffe appears to have a better attitude.

And a long throw.

We obviously are thinking of two different players
Tunnicliffe is one of those tall defenders that people presume win a lot of headers because of their height but he doesn't. Watch him closely next game and you will see that.
Better passing? From what I have seen so far his passing has not been good. More of a threat at set pieces? Of the two centre backs, Elphick is the one who gets himself into the threatening positions at corners. I think Tunnicliffes only goal is at Norwich and that was following a ricochet in the box which ended in a toe poke. He is NOT a threat in the air.

I will not argue about Lynch's lapses of concentration and attacking threat because as I have said before, I am not a massive Lynch fan. Just seems to me that Tunnicliffe is being a little over rated.

I also bet you that if Virgo stays and we don't sign another centre back, Virgo Elphick will be the first choice centre back partnership by the end of the season.

Excellent centre half, but a bit limited as a left back.

He has been very much missed at our place. His last season with us, we were 7th and looked to have the most promising centre half pairing in the division .... and since he left, we've been gash at the back, and Elphicks lack of pace has been getting gruely exposed.

Some people on here got all precious when he demnded a transfer, but I think it was fair enough on his part. Adams had come in and lined up a couple of slow clogging centre halves ahead of him in the pecking order, who seemed to get games even when clearly unfit, rather than Joel. Some players and managers aren't going to get on and that is the only reason we lost him.

Sorry,but exactly how often do you think Elphick and Lynch were the centre half pairing that season. Possibly 5/6 times at max.

 

[blue and white army]

Elphick is more dominant in the air then Tunnicliffe, you can thank Adams for Joel's attitude anyone would be disillusioned for being replaced by an inferior player in Hawkins.

Double post.

.

He wins his share, and he rarely gives the ball away - something Lynch often did [and Elphick continues to do].

We'll ignore the one from a corner that Tunnicliffe scored at Bristol Rovers then?

Elphick without doubt wins more headers that Tunnicliffe

I forgot about that goal Im sorry. He is still very young so has a lot of time to improve.

 

[severnside gull]

Elphick without doubt wins more headers that Tunnicliffe

but is less productive in clearing the ball to teammates

Can you?

 

[HarryNT]

Can you?

On one hand we know that Joel is/was a better player than Hawkins. But if a player is unwilling to sit on the bench for a few weeks till therir chance comes around again, then it's best to get rid.

I thought he was alright (as a person), I got talking to him a few years back out clubbing. He was off his nut and my non-Albion supporting friend who had no idea who he was asked who he supported, Lynch replied Brighton but I hate that Joel Lynch, he's absolute shit and such a ****

 

[BensGrandad]

Tunnicliffe's major fault, as I see it, is that he allows the ball to drop too often thus giving the opponent the opportunity to get the ball. Other than that I think he is learning fast and will eventually become a very good central defender for us. Until then I think that we will have to perservere with Elphick and Virgo. I prefer them to El Abd at central defender, with AE playing just in front of the back four or as right back, if the new spanish player is not ready for the first team yet.

Completely as I see it

Look i'm not getting in a 'I know more than you' bollox - u obviously know him and yes he may be alruigh but i just think h's aknob from stuff i've been told (nothing to do wth actual football). Plus, we all know he handed in a transfer request after 2 games of the season cos he wasn't picked by adams which is quite frankly a joke and obviously sulking attitude rather than if i work hard i'll get back in attitude. Yes, im sure he's told you other resons, some which may even be true, but losing his place in the team was clearly a reason that upset him and made him want to leave - it's the wrong attitude - esp as he's a local lad...
