[Football] Joel Lynch

[goldstone]

Had no idea he was back in Sussex playing for Crawley. And he scored yesterday. Seems like he was with QPR for ever. When was it he left Brighton?

Seems like yesterday.

My Sunderland supporting mate said he was shite

 

[elwheelio]

Good player.

 

[Springal]

Actually looking back at his career he’s certainly had one of the best from the Withdean era from the youth team you’d say.

Was actually a bit surprised that apart from Sunderland he’s managed 80-100ish appearances for each club - mainly in the Championship

Brighton Forest Huddersfield QPR is a decent CV

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

I was gutted when he left as I really rated him. Nice to see him back home after a decent career, and still performing well for Creepy.

terrible bit of business really. He could have been a great player in those Poyet teams but Adams pushed him out from memory. Seem to remember we got some dogshit midfielder on loan in exchange

Thornhill.

That said - did he not move when we were League One and Forest were Championship ?

I think Lynch admits his head was turned to easily as a youngster so he was angling for a move, quite a few teams were interested in him

Yeah I seem to recall he pushed for the move and can’t really blame him he was a relatively cultured CB for us and would def have commanded a decent wage beyond what we could offer at the time. Remember being miffed about it but equally wished him well.

Think he was actually better than Elphick in reality but Elphick looked better in the Poyet set up than he perhaps was. Would have loved to have seen Lynch play in that team. He had pace, was left footed from memory and could play a bit too. He also would have been one of the seven as well!

What was the name of the CB we had who played one game and was promptly snapped up by Spurs? Did he ever make a first team appearance for them? What happened to him?

It was about the same time as Lynch but I've completely forgotten his name.

Had one of the best songs.

He was a few years after Lynch I think. Also seem to remember he wasn’t very complementary when he left.

That could be just my memory though.

Tbh I think Steve Cook was a worse miss than Lynch. He played that one match (I think it was the Lambert punching the ground game) v Southampton and was sold the following week.

I think the choice was keep Adam el abd or Steve cook.
We went el abd. Maybe not the best long term decision.
Our conveyor belt of quality centre backs is insane.
It goes back decades and continues to this day.

He did play for us a couple of times, even got 30 minutes in the league when we stuffed Southampton at The Amex when we had about 10 players missing!

I meant never played for Spurs

I think we knew the potential but there was no pathway to the first team for Cook and he was like 21 or so? Elphick was current and Dunk was preferred

The argument only makes sense if Cook is better than Duffy or Webster , but he’s nowhere near

 

[Hamilton]

I thought he was a great prospect. A few years later in our history and he’d have stayed and been a bit more of a club ‘legend’ so to speak.
