Would not come as a surprise if he went. Scunny were keen on McNulty and need a regular left-sided defender.

A move could do Lynch good. A very talented player.

I always thought Lynch could go a lot higher than he has done so far. But a move away from Forest is going help him get back on track.

Could anyone else see him as a back up in our current squad?

the fact that he was a centre back that could play football would have endeared him massively to poyet i think - just a shame adams f***ed it up by insisting on playing his lovechild hawkins

I'm always baffled by the Lynch debate (I suppose its because its a debate and I agree with my side).

Lynch was good but nowhere near as good as people think. For a start, yes has was composed and relaxed on the ball but repeatedly made suicidal backpasses to play people into trouble and was plagued by laziness on the pitch.

Also, he was a horrid, horrid left back.

Its seems so obvious as to why he never made it at Forest. Its because he is not gifted with the sense a Championship defender needs.

Also, how do you think he'd feel playing second fiddle to Greer, Elphick and El-Abd? Toys out of the pram again?

Admittedly, I thought Adams' treatment of him was embarassing. Just as he and Elphick started to look like a partnership he broke it up. However, I think thought of Lynch are rose tinted views of what might have been as opposed to what he actually did.

No concentration is his biggest problem. Could look brilliant for 89 mins but nearly always had brain freeze for one minute a game which often cost a goal.

Yeah but think what we were saying of El-Abd a couple of years ago. If Lynch had had a similar progression and the right coaching he could have been brilliant.

 

[Bakero]

I always liked Lynch, he seemed to have great potential. Forest fans I know reckon he's awful though.

Yeah but El Abd has always been a player who gave you his all. Lynch appears to think he is rather special, not sure Gus would have the patience to bother with him

I just think its easier to improve concentration then actually turn someone from shit to quality!

I never thought El Abd was shit tbh, just a bit reckless and often played out of position as a full back.

Is correct.

I remember his howler against Forest on a Friday before Christmas where he looked like someone new to defending.

 

[sir danny cullip]

I went on a bit of a tour around Forest last week and was told he has struggled with a back injury for a while now, every time he gets back into contention his back goes again. Was told it was highly likely he would be leaving on loan in the near future.

Or as a defensive midfielder.

That really was an horrendous decision. Who started that off?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

If my memory serves me correctly, Lynch was injured in pre-season and Elphick/Hawkins started the season. He then threw his toys out of the pram when he was not given a place in the team, despite no-one doing anything worthy of being dropped.

 

[We're the Stripes]

That really was an horrendous decision. Who started that off?

Think it was Wilkins.

Adams possibly trumped that by playing Virgo in the holding role a year or two later..

Virgo in the holding role was more acceptable than Virgo at RW mind!

 

[Pavilionaire]

We've moved on. As far as Poyet is concerned he might as well be Bet Lynch...
