Lee A Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I think we did miss Lines a bit last night, side looks settled with him in it because he and Semedo have played together for 40 odd games and done well., and in all honesty Coke did nothing that Lines hasn't been doing for the last 8 months. As for this bizarre argument, quite a lot of people dont rate Lines, slate him every time he plays, I completely disagree but that's their opinion. Lines will now be out of the side for a while, and for arguments sake, lets say Coke plays instead, no matter how he plays, there'll probably be somebody on here who tears lumps off him every week, it wont be Big Guns this time, but somebody will do it, disagree and offer an alternative opinion of course, but I dont really understand why some people get so upset about somebody else's irrelevant opinion.

Weshallovercome Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 More simply for you: We lost the first half 0-2 without Lines, we won the 2nd half 0-4 without Lines. Therefore its impossible to infer whether Lines absence a had good or bad influence. Therefore the Op is flawed and without reason. Hi Sheldon.

Guest Lawrie Maddens Hump Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Come off it that was just a one off that first half performance ,lines would have made no difference every player was awful... Lines wouldn't have been if he'd have been playing, he'd have been the shining light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Come off it that was just a one off that first half performance ,lines would have made no difference every player was awful... Disagree. One of our problems, of many, was the fact that our central midfield was completely non-existent. It is no coincidence that our performance picked up when Jones made changes, bringing Coke into central midfield, shoving Pecnic up top and having O'Grady come on. Before that Semedo was running around like a headless chicken, trying to do the job of two men. Edited August 14, 2012 by SiJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 And yes Coke did made a difference (he was solid if not spectacular), but he has to have a sustained run in the side before we can start arguing that he is a better option than Lines.

Guest JonTheOwl66 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 'sad bugger'? Yeah i'm the one that posts all the crap about who we are signing pretending to be in the know just to try and look cool. When really you know flip all. Another point the same people have a go at Lines when he has had a good games...it became personal. flipping fools. Calm down mate. Your the resident Mr angry its not my fault you started a stupid post . ^ this Also I'm interested to know what constitutes a good game for Mr Lines.

SiJ Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Also I'm interested to know what constitutes a good game for Mr Lines. Eh? What constitutes a good game for Semedo? Or Coke? Or Potter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnbloodaxe Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 You need to appreciate the difference between cause and correlation. The church clock chimes on the hour doesn't cause the 10:01 train to run. Yes but is the cat in the box dead or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JonTheOwl66 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Eh? What constitutes a good game for Semedo? Or Coke? Or Potter? The general consensus seems to agree when Semedo has a good game. When some people claim Lines played well, others claim he was average. Like I said, you don't see that with Semedo (just as an example). So what would you Lines lovers say constitutes a good game for Lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 So what would you Lines lovers say constitutes a good game for Lines? When he sprays the ball around, keeps us ticking over and acts as a good balance to Semedo's take-no-prisoners approach. I think he also, unlike Potter for example, doesn't mind getting stuck in and tackling His delivery is also much better than many are willing to give him credit for, though his shooting from freekicks is a bit naff.

Surely he should do that every game though? May I also say - Lines does NOT get stuck in. Most definitely not. He backs out of challenges. Semedo is a player that gets stuck in. Although I agree, you can't argue with his assists from last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Lines has improved considerably under DJ, but I dont think he would have made much difference last night....he might have helped keep our shape a bit more and maybe helped out Semedo, who was like a headless chicken chasing everything that moved due to Pecnik going awol. But Oldham were rampant, mainly due to us making lazy passes and not closing down fast enough.....we were poor full stop, doubt Lines alone could have altered that.

He does, in fairness all of our midfielders seem to when they need to, I dont think Jones would accept anything less. Lines puts a foot in when he has to, Coke did similar last night, Semedo is Semedo and Prutton isn't exactly scared of a good lunge either.

Guest Sheff Owl Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 People keep saying about how Dave Jones knows his onions, knows this league inside out and know what is needed and people fully back him in all that. If he thought Lines was no good he would have shifted him out, yet no doubt if fit he would have started last night and on Saturday and so on. People were writing Coke off and don't get me wrong but he came on last night and did a job and might have forced his way back into the picture who knows.

On that note Jon, who are we signing next? Edited August 14, 2012 by Lawrie Maddens Hump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
