Chance for our out of contract players to show the world why theyre out of contract

Baxter was getting tugged back off the ball all the time and gradually losing his rag. But, in today's world that is a sending off for me. 

 

As for folk going on about a bunch of kickers, I don't think they are giving Lincoln any way near enough credit. I thought they were a neat if strong side. The left back had a belter. I think they are due a bit of credit. 

Lincoln are what we shold look to be. The way they play will see them challenge in League 1 next season aswell.

Oh.....bald jokes now.....ya b*stard!!!

 If we are going down the route of getting a goalie for free from a Premiership club on loan then Iversen is a good shout but I have seen good, experienced goalies at this level that inspire confidence in the defenders.

  

I said exactly the same and I will support Scholes through his mistakes so long as we are seeing improvements which we are doing but just not for a full game.

Would have taken the "knickers in a twist" but wasnt sure if you were a feminist

I think I'm right in saying a company's financial year doesn't necessarily end on April 6th. 

Probably, I am always told to get the money through in March for end of financial year, just assumed it coincided with tax year.

Yes, I know Ripley went to toast his arse on Burton's bench but all I said it was a shame, nothing more.

  

Where the f*ck did I say he was no good....you really need to stop and read my post. He may well be a success higher up but at this level he needs to command his area and be prepared to get himself roughed up. We've seen plenty of keepers in this division do just that. At the end of the match against Stevenage, we had two tall defenders up against 5 big Stevenage lads. Clarke and Edmundson can't deal with them on their own and that is where the keeper has to come off his line.

Keep your hair on, I only asked as you implied you dont rate him. Hes the best we are going to get, and is only young and an U21 international for a 2nd tier nation. More than saved us this year, and will go on to have a successful career higher up than league 2. I would 100% look to keep him.

IMO the big lad issue against Stevenage could have been solved by Scholes bringing on 6ft+ Sylla instead of the small striker Afolayanat 1-0 up. Could also have done with Callum Lang just jumping and heading the ball away from the corner as it was on his noggin. But hey ho, Scholes is only 5 games into his managerial career, can be allowed these mistakes for now.

You mean as in April 6th? How is that relevant? 

End of financial year, increase in revenue makes the business look successful.

He couldnt teach Ronaldo how to hit a tree, what chance does he have with Urko Vera?

If you’re gonna make the deadline this early, surely it could have been set as pay day for most. Why have it as 2 days before end of the month, baffling.

When does the tax year begin?

So is your post.....what does "Wed be fighting releagtion if we hadnt signed him" mean? 

 

Do I take it you agreed with my earlier points up to Iverson?

Try being a bit objective.

How many goals have we conceded because he hasn't come off his line......not as many as he's saved with shot-stopping but enough to lose us games at the death? Until he learns that part quickly, he won't be a big success here. We need a goalkeeper brought up to mix it with forwards. Shame we couldn't have got Conor Ripley back.

You mean Conor Ripley who signed for a Championship team and was on loan in League 1? We dont get players like that now.

So he hasnt come to claim a couple of crosses, when he has Clarke and Edmondson infront of him, now hes no good?

He has saved our skins a lot more than he has let a few crosses go. And he wont be a big success here, he will be a success at a team higher up the pyramid.

I still struggle with this 'fact'.  Given where he was playing previously that would surely be a colossal pay hike.  Why would we do that?

I never said fact, I mentioned gossip. And its not unbelievable with him being an AL signing. Can imagine Vera is on around the same amount. But if its true, there is no way we should be wasting that wage on a mediocre player.

This is just bollox...….you make it sound like we've had dream teams before AL came over and the Stevenage result/failure to win was all down to the French lads. I take it you were by the tunnel and stopped clapping when the French lads went through and started again when the remainder of the team climbed the steps.

As for the 3 loanees, in my opinion, Lang is the only one worth hanging on to. Iverson has parts of his game that he doesn't appear to be able to sort out and Dearnley seems to caught in a trap....is he a winger or a centre forward or a bit of both....whichever way, he's not stood out in either role.

 

So will you be supporting Scholes if the French lads are here next season because he wants them or will you trot out the excuse that AL is interfering?

Your point about Iversen makes your whole post unreadable. Wed be fighting releagtion if we hadnt signed him.

Both good players. Maouche has an option so it's probably nailed on he'll be here next year. I think he's definitely a better passer of the ball than Gardner but he does have a tendancy to go missing during some games whilst Gardner looked like he was doing 2 roles in one at the start of the season when Missilou appeared out of his depth and he started to chip in with a few goals.

  

With our options in midfield 'plenty' to say the least, would it be financially viable to offer Gardner another year? I don't think so.

 

According to most Maoche is on 4k a week. So surely it wouldnt make financial sense to extend his option. For 4k a week, Id want 3 players his standard or 1 player who can win us the league single handedly. I can only see him remaining if Lemsgasm continues to ludicrously overpay him.

I think we can all agree its a sad time for the club when the debate is whos the least shit between Maoche and Gardner

Just now, oafcmetty said:

 

POTS in a relegation team. Great.

A team that Maoche couldnt get on the bench for

It amazes me that people think Maoche is better than him. Its quite clear Gardner doesnt want to be at the club and isnt arsed, yet hes still a better player. Will be in League 1 next year, whilst we are still stuck in league 2.
