Most liked posts in thread: Paudie O'Connor

If you read the posts on their forum from the link shared earlier then their fans don't see him as first choice unless he plays in a back three! They apparently have five centre backs now although one might be a right back.

If he's going to start he'll need a good pre-season.

 

If you look on the Barrow forum they think we tapped Platt up long before the season finished

Their manager doesn’t agree

 

Only just seen this news. I can’t say I’m too bothered. I love the player and I think he is a fantastic character but he doesn’t have a footballing brain. He is the player that’s good to have in the dressing room and to get the fans on their feet but not much more. We can certainly replace him. I will miss him though.

 

Not bothered. He's not our player any more.

 

Not yet, he's still one of ours until 1st July.

Good luck to Paudie anyhow. He always gave 100% for us and I will miss him being here.

He will be harder to replace than a lot are giving him credit for, at this level, in my opinion

 

June 30th

Although they may have already taken over his contract - we'll never know!

 

Officially that's when Lincoln will start paying him for his services but I think it's highly likely Paudie will be there to start pre season training in the last week of June.

 

Doubt that very much.

 

they are fourth and fifth choice really. kelleher was used last season when the first choices were picked.

maybe I just rate Songoo more than most but under Hughes he looked great to me. I wouldnt drop him and so rather then spending money on a third choice CB id first address other areas - an experienced midfielder that could maybe captain the side first of all

 

Whats the craic with Osudina. Not heard of him before tbh! (Same was the case with Platt!).

 

Good old Paudie put in a masterclass of useless centre half play yesterday for Lincoln.
Managed to be involved (badly) for all 4 Peterboro' goals, including giving away a penalty.

 

Early days, but Vernam doesn't seem to be getting much game time. Unused sub in the last 2, only 4ins at the end of the game before that.

 

I liked both but both had limitations..... I think the boys are playing against smarter bears too and maybe getting found out at their level they wanted to be at....

 

Really? So bloody glad we no longer have 'oops Paudie'. Hughes showed what a good manager he is by signing Romoney Critchlow - what a player he's proving to be for us.

 

I wish we had both

 

TBH he was one of our better performers last season but the bar was sooo low.
I think he’s stagnated and citys partly to blame for that. He may become the commanding championship centre half I thought he would originally but it looks like he will need time to adjust playing against better players.

 

Yeah, I'm not surprised at all.

He was a good League Two centre back, but beyond that it was pretty clear he had potential to play League One football to a decent level at least.

Looks like he's gone up a division and still continues to show potential that he can play higher.

Good centre back, City fans seemed to distract themselves with insecurity that he'd get sent off every other week.
