As far as I can remember, Lynch was injured at the start of the season. Hawkins played well in the first handful of games, certainly nothing to warrant dropping. Lynch was recalled as a sub and then proceeded to throw a hissy fit and demand a transfer. In fact, I am pretty sure that we were unbeaten with The Hawk in the line up for the first five or six matches.
Apparently Millwall's interest was ended a while back once they discovered how much he was after. Wouldn't have thought we'd be willing to pay him a great deal more, tbh.If he moves the only rumour I have heard is that Millwall were interested. Would he want to come back here to compete with Greer/elAbd/Dunk/Elphick after what happened under Adams?
Seen him about 3 or 4 times around town recently but never plucked up the courage to ask him whether the rumours are true. They sound pretty strong so fingers crossed he will be heading back to the Albion... Just not so sure about him heading back as our Left Back.
A re-writing of history that would bring plaudits from Uncle Joe Stalin!
Allegedly Hawkins played well at Crewe for the first game of the season ( I won't argue as I wasn't there ), after that he was a complete cart horse. Adams booted out Lynch despite a good performance ( for 90 minutes not as a sub when the amiable but useless Hawk was injured ) in order to protect himself. As usual, it didn't take much to get our worthy fans to turn on a home-produced player. No wonder Grant Hall wants away!
I'm not so sure.
According to Soccerbase, the only 90 minutes Lynch played (before he left) was against Northampton and he played the whole 90 minutes with the Hawk.
Soccerbase suggest we were unbeaten with Hawkins in the team for the first six games. I do remember Lynch breaking down with an injury at the end of pre-season.
A little research suggests Hawkins was scoring highly according to our fans...
vs Barnet - Player ratings vs Barnet - 8s and 7s
vs Bristol Rovers - Player Ratings vs Bristol - 6s
vs Southend - Player Ratings vs Southend - 7s and 8s
He lost it against Scunthorpe. Lynch replaced him and then handed in a transfer request.
No idea how good Lynch is but is he better than Vincelot?
