Only 4 games in but one of the player of the seasons for me so far.
We never saw any of Lines driving runs last night and I do wonder if it's when he plays with certain players. I've questioned Ollie Clarke but I think the lad after Scunny away proved his worth but more importantly let Lines do his stuff against Oxford. I also felt DC took off the wrong man last night in keeping Sincs on. Stuart has a role for us this season, it's a squad game and I put him above Lawrence. But for both promotion run ins we saw Lines step up and drive us on and in both seasons Sincs was out injured.
I watched the second half closely yesterday and Sincs got a lot of the ball but rarely made a forward pass. While he had the ball Lines never had it dictating our play. I'm not saying Lines is Gerrard but he our version in our team, when I see Lines and Sincs together it reminds me of the days of Gerrrard and Lamps together for England, together it doesn't work.
The beauty of Sincs is he can impact a game off the bench, fill in pockets on in midfield or even out wide but right now I think Lines needs Ollie Clarke or Mansell next to him.

Good luck to Jake Gosling, ironically I think he plays best in a 3 man midfield. |

I have thought this about Sincs and Lines for a while. Is it a coincidence that we've had great form at the back end of the last two seasons, with Lines in full flow and SS out injured? |

I agree.Never been Ollie Clarke's biggest fan but against Cardiff and Oxford him and Lines ran the midfield and were different class.Another successful season for us this time around needs to build around the spine of our team - Lockyer,Lines and Taylor. |

My problem with Linesy is that more often than not he's trying to play the hollywood pass, long diagonal raking ball, and mostly it doesn't come off, myself I don't think he played that well last night, too many misplaced passes for me, also don't think Ollie played well, especially first half.

I agree and it's not a Sincs bashing debate, every team needs a type like him in their team. Come the cold night in Feb on bad pitches as well he is perfect for us as is Mansell. Personally my player with Lines is Mansell.
Chris Lines is right at his peak now, if he was 26 he'd have scouts watching him. Lundstram at Oxford is highly regarded and Lines out played him and look what he did against Cardiff.

Ollie Clarke was all over the place last night. It seemed after getting embarrassed for their first goal he went to pieces and needed to be taken off. As I've said before Sinclair is there to press, tackle and get the ball to more creative players. He was getting the ball to Lines and Bodin last night who didn't really do anything. Lines was especially bad with his long passing last night. |

That Trotter last night with Lines would be good.

Totally agree with this, sadly, although to be fair not seen a game live yet this season. I think Sinclair is a one man midfield who gets stuck in come what may to his credit but very hard to play alongside and build an effective attacking system around. This is most visible alongside lines in my view |

Sinclair isn't really there for the attacking play he's there to put tackles in , win the ball and make a pass. Incidentally he didn't put a single pass astray last night.

Agreed Paul. Linesy needs the right partner, tough dominating ball winner with some passing ability and physical presence.
Think late 90's, PNE, think Sean Gregan for a profile

I thought when Easter came on playing a bit deeper this improved things. Easter and Lines both have a lot of creativity and appear to be on the same wave length. Whilst Clarke and the Beard are great little workers some of the little flicks and tricks of Lines are lost on them as Defensive midfielders tend to pass sideways or backwards. Could Easter play in the three as as starter?

So all you have to do to gain Roadman's respect is leave the club, play at a higher level than us consistently for three seasons, rejoin and play a vital role in gaining back to back promotions.
Hear that Ollie Clark? Pull yer finger out!

How did Clarke get embarrassed by the goal when it took a huge deflection off Sinclair to send it looping over Mildenhall,if he hadn't touched the ball it was a regulation save |

If he made that tackle the move would have been ended. You suggesting Sinclair should have let the bloke shoot freely? Imagine if he did that! |
