FirParkCornerExile Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 7 minutes ago, MelvinBragg said: If you look closely at his stats, Vale only started five games for Lincoln and scored two goals. On at least three of his eleven sub league appearance, Lincoln City were down to ten men when he came on, or a minute after.. Do these stats mean he's any good? No, but it's context. More context than a simple 'he scored two in seventeen appearances for Lincoln, he must be shit'. As with most of our signings, we won't know til we see him play... Doesn't matter a fuck what he did yesterday, it's what he does tomorrow that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincoln City fans said he was hopeless and they punted him back to Blackburn early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you not give the guy the benefit of the doubt and make your mind up after you've seen him in the flesh or is that too much to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have never seen him play then. And you've been going on what their fans say. Do Lincoln have a steelboy perhaps? If so, he had no chance. At least give the lad one appearance before writing him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbybingo Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 I see very little criticism of Vale from their fans when it was announced he was leaving. The negative comments were more along the lines of 'why did we sign him but hardly play him?' Either way, doesn't matter. Different club, players and management now. Be nice if the fans gave him some encouragement, which I'm sure most will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have known who they are for weeks and been checking them out on you tube. So he can tell the world what failures they were at previous clubs and how they will get us relegated Unless its Marcus Rashford of course.

Aye, its time to lay off MJC and Steelboy. Everyone is different and there are extreme pessimists and extreme optimists in our support, and all shades of opinion in between. I often disagree with them both but at times they both write a lot of sense. Please don't throw the baby out with the bathwater folks. Lets get back on topic - by all accounts theres plenty of activity due later to occupy us. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
