Manor Owl Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 There is a thread entitled "have we forgotten Danny Mayor" but about 3 weeks ago I am sure Chris lines expected to be first choice next to Semedo. Indeed he calls him "my midfield partner". How far down the order is he likely to be when he recovers? Big decisions for DJ. I can see Mr Big Guns reaching for his keypad as soon as I press post By September hopefully we will know how good the new midfielders are.

Guest JonTheOwl66 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I just don't think Chris Lines is good enough to be a regular first team player now. The signing of McCabe took him out of the first team, and with Jones clearly highlighting the central midfield aspect as an area where strengthening is required, the next couple of weeks could well result in him being pushed down to being merely a reserve player. Now don't get me wrong, it'd be unfair to criticise Lines and claim he's useless. He's definitely not. His assists tally last year prove his final ball is excellent, and as many have mentioned, his turn of pace is actually really exciting. But there are (in my opinion) clear flaws in his game. If he can iron these out then I reckon he could comfortably be a Championship player. With the potential signing of Barkley on the horizon, it could be a tough year for Mr Lines. God knows what individuals like Coke are thinking at this moment in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDAZ Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 He'll be thinking if Semedo plays much more like Oldham & Derby then I'll get the slot alongside McCabe........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Guns Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 It's all over for lines it was as soon as the whistle blew against wycombe. Don't cry about it all it means is we've signed better players that's wot its all about .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) He'll be wishing he never got injured. Although I doubt we wouldve turned down McCabe or possibly Barkley if he was fit. He's just got to rise to the challenge, its what he needs. He has shown his ability in flashes now he has to do it more often.

BRADDAZ Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Off the boil was he? Yeah he was but it's only two games. He does need to be much better in the coming weeks though, especially with Jones wanting to add more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee A Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) He's a professional footballer, who since he's been here has shown nothing but a desire for the club to do well. Competition for places is to be expected anywhere and as a professional I'm sure he sees it as a good thing that good players are coming in, there will be a bit of disappointment when he regains fitness and most likely finds himself watching from the sidelines, but that is also part of the game, he'll be fine. He probably wouldn't mind a get well soon card from Big Guns though Edited August 20, 2012 by leea8331 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 He'll be thinking about getting fully fit so he can try and prove that he is good enough for a regular spot. Simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wath-owl Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Lines is a quality player. If he can't get in our side because there are better players than him with the shirt then I for one will be delighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overlandandsea Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Its gunna be tough for chris lines to get in the first 11 now with the signing of mccabe and possibly barkley coming in. Even after his injury he's gunna struggle to break through if we are doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Any pro footballer who has played in the lower leagues for most of his career should be delighted to be rising through the divisions and getting the chance to play along side good quality players.
