The lad from Walsall is a totally different type of player to Watt and East.

 

Agreed, every time he shaped to pass the ball across the back , I winced. Of late he’s been better defending but has Hughes said was a requirement of any defender, he should be able to distribute. Sadly PO couldn’t to save his life. Good luck to him but he needs to address the headless chicken mannerisms.

 

Maybe Leeds have another decent CB we can borrow for the season

 

Not sure to make of Lincoln fans reaction.

They already have 5 centrebacks and a couple indicate he’s coming in as back up.

Main response, they have been reading this forum…..Lack of passing ability, apparantly they won’t pass out from the back so he should be ok???.

 

Maybe Watt will join him.

 

Well if he is then it’s not every ambitious , Watt if coached well can get into the championship quite easily.

 

It’s a pity to lose our most consistent player he had the attributes we are want in that position however we have signed a decent player in Platt and I am sure there will be at least one more. Best of Luck to him he has earned his own promotion

 

I don’t think many would disagree, however is he replaceable? It’s a yes from me, even though he’s had a decent time since MH appeared…if only he could pass a ball to a teammate. Therein lies my problem with him…However good luck to him.. It’s a chance Lincoln and him have to take.

 

Well he had a few offers so plenty of people seem to think he can

 

it was hardly difficult to pick up that kind of award considering how shite the majority of players are

 

I’ll meet you there…it’s only up the road. I’ll certainly watch a few of their games when City aren’t playing.

 

What on earth or even how is that sour grapes? I questioned YOUR comment on “ he’s had plenty of offers . Don’t deflect from the question you know I posed?

You aren’t Johnson, don’t try to be.

 

Bizarre decision to join Lincoln even though for now they are in a higher league. Small time club where even Shay McCarten was a superstar.

 

The same Shay that now plays in the NI "super league" which is about Park Avenue standards

 

West ?

 

I can’t see Platt coming here to sit on the bench when Barrow didn’t want to lose him and he was a certain starter there. We have Foulds, Staunton and Kelleher as back up CBs already, and Songoo will be first name of teamsheet based in his displays late season IMO.

do agree another CM is likely. We need some steel.

 

We haven’t seen that Foulds nor Stanton could capably cover CB have we ?Has any manager in the last 12 months used them in that position? I don’t see it personally ?

 

Good luck to Paudie-always gave his best and seems to be guaranteed first team football considering his remarks upon signing for Lincoln
"I wanted to pick somewhere I could develop and have the opportunity to play another 40 plus games a season, as I have over the past few years."

Maybe not being guaranteed a starting place next season by MH has forced his hand to move? Strategic move by the club to free up wages for more players?

Looking forward to seeing who we bring in to replace him. Maybe that lad from Barrow is the replacement?

 

More likely there was interest from higher up but he prefers to pick a team where he will be first choice

 

I see what you mean but this is telling?

“I wanted to pick somewhere I could develop and have the opportunity to play another 40”

Having the opportunity, isn’t exactly a guaranteed place? Any squad member has the “opportunity “ .
Some on their forum seems to think he’s going as back up . It’s a strange one perhaps?
