But if at least 2 loans have to miss out, he's always going to be one of them, barring injuries. He's literally here just to train with 2 keepers that have taken his place. We've all had our say on him but I feel for him now. Agreed. The lad had a nightmare few weeks, but to lay our shit start entirely at his feet - or Evatt's for standing by him - is ridiculous. The abuse he's had, anyone would think he'd been throwing the ball into his own net every game.

It doesn't alter the fact that he wasn't. So if people want to give him a big cuggle and tell him he did his best & not to worry about it then be my guest. But he was shite & should never have been put in that position. That was the combined fault of Gilkes, Tobias, Evatt & Joey Barton. There, I hope that makes him feel a lot better.

None of it was personal that I’m aware of, it was about his performances that drew criticism, as a footballer especially a goalkeeper you mess up you’re going to get it. He wasn’t up to it and got the stick. Hardly abuse

He either knuckles down and learns to improve his game or he finds something else to do. That is how pro sport works. Lot more people in the country I have lot more sympathy with than any Pro footballer

Looks a hell of a player on those highlights ... but so did Daniel Braaten. It's clearly a bit of a gamble, but if it doesn't pay off then what have we lost? The option of playing Crawford instead? Happy to take that risk. That said, will be interesting to see if he turns his form around at Tranmere. Personally, I was sickened to see so many BWFC fans wishing him luck. Wankers. Was it not good luck in agent type of way. Like run Johnny Morrisey over or spike Eric Nixon’s drink. If not madness. I hope I’m wrong about Maddison but let’s see

Any sympathy or anger on here its purely in a sporting context.

February 2, 20215 yr Lynch was at QPR at same time as Baptiste. Very left footed centre back. Had the misfortune of Parky getting the Sunderland job while he was there. Quite an interesting interview with him here from a few months ago about having no club during Covid, and one of those videos where he looks like Franco Beresi https://www.planetfootball.com/in-depth/joel-lynch-why-this-year-is-the-worst-ever-to-be-out-of-contract/

That's bloody wierd that, hadn't read your post till a minute ago...so that's 2 Baresi's in our back 4.
February 2, 20215 yr Another I've never heard of, but that's quite a pedigree if he's looking at joining a Div.4 club. If he's fit & willing he looks like a useful addition.

February 2, 20215 yr Happy with the signings glad to see the back of Crawford hes been really poor since his injury but Maddison a way better player.
February 2, 20215 yr If we give Lynch a contract, can't see Delaney and Greenidge getting much game time.

February 3, 20215 yr Just watched Crawford’s ‘welcome’ interview regarding his loan club Tranny Rvrs He actually looks uncomfortable, looks away from the camera but mumbles than Tranmere are a ‘massive’ club! Going through the motions I reckon just like he has been doing all season on the pitch.Keith Hill will struggle to get a tune out of him I reckon but time will tell.
