Yeah, annoys me too when people slag players off considering we've only played 5 League games, we always have slow starts when adjusting to new levels, and we have new players to fit in. Oh wait... gaschat.co.uk/thread/8133/terrible-truth-signingsAnd by the time we get over those slow starts and are fully into our stride Sinclair is usually injured. Oops undoubtedly that must be untrue. PS I like the guy but see him as a bench player or covering injuries or suspensions

I would have him on the bench. If we were winning I'd bring him on and sit him in front of the defence. If we were losing then I would play him just behind the forwards. My biggest gripes with him is that he goes to ground too much when he tackles, and many refs interpret that as a foul, and the other thing is he is all over the field, and when he does that it leaves holes where he should be. You can play like that in the Conf or Div 2 but at this level you need to be more disciplined

Yeah that's a fair comment he does seem to pop up all over the place due to his enthusiasm and fitness levels. My defence is against people saying he isn't creative enough. if he was creative as well as doing what he already does he would be playing at a higher level than L1.

Sincs is almost un droppable. He is a model pro and incredibly fit. He always gives 100%, his head never goes down. He retains his place more often than not which shows the others what to aim for in attitude - this is not to fault the effort of any of our others.
Sinclair passes backwards as do all players who actually want to play football as opposed to always playing forward, which while this is an idyllic concept of never ending attacks leading to goal after goal, there are good reasons why the modern midfielder has evolved to pass not restricted to one direction. In fact One Direction should be nowhere near our starting eleven.
Id actually like to see MORE passing backwards. I'd like to see our team hold the ball for 10 minute periods, passing triangles around their weary and harassed midfield before choosing to work the ball into the back of the net.
Sinclair covers so much ground he is an asset for that alone. He is not our fastest player, nor our most creative, nor the best tackler. He is adequate in all disciplines but master of none, excepting will, determination and drive as evidenced by his consistent good performances and repeated selection by the manager.
We had big time Charlie wankers for years sucking funds for little commitment. Sinclair exemplifies the old qualities of ragbag rovers of my youth and we should be thankfull for players who sweat blood in the shirt.

Very good again tonight. DC must've had a difficult call to leave out Lines but Sincs showed again that he never lets the team down.

Conference run in, he's injured and we go up. Div1 run in, he's injured and we go up...........Lines can't play with him and be consistent, now Boeteng looks average.
The problem with Sinclair is he does so much running off the ball the other midfielder has to hold his position covering Stuart. I've seen it so many times, Lines then goes out of the game, it's now Boeteng. Sincs gets the ball when others should have it.
I like Sinclair but we won't win promotion out of this league with him starting and it's no coincidence we gained promotion while he was injured and Lines was our star man. The worry for my is Sincs will stop the Chelsea lad getting a game.
The argument of he defends for us stacks up if you set up to defend. If we attacked from midfield more with creation we are not defending as much and the opposition are more worried about us.
Their no10 was very good tonight, this could be Colkett for us but he won't be whilst we are giving medals and man of the matches out every week to a player running the most miles on the pitch.

Fully agree. Colkett could run games for us at this level - need to get him in the side.

Agree totally with Roadman. Sincs is a great clubman and certainly nobody can fault his effort and yes compared to what we had a few years back he is a breath of fresh air BUT and this is a big but just look at the amount of space he leaves the other midfielder to cover when he runs all over the place. Sincs has proved he is able at this level and can do a reasonable job but you only have to look at Boetang he looked good alongside Lines but struggled to play alongside Sinclair tonight. Personally if we need three midfielders it would be Lines Boetang and Colkett for me and on tonights showing Byron Moore with Montano and Sinclaior on the bench to use when any of them tire.

I have been on the side of the fence that says we're a better team without Sinclair.
However, last night I thought his positional play was far more disciplined than usual.
Also, about Boateng, he's not match fit. Think he ran his socks off on Saturday and isn't at a level yet where he can recover fully in two days.

Right 73 re your posts................... Firstly let's explain it another way re your first one. Yes it's a long season and everyone helps gets points but most team win or lose promotion on the run in. In the Conference we only really got it going on the run in when Lines joined and he started to help us tick over in the middle. When we play well Lines usually plays well and helps us tickover. When we won 12 games on the trot at home it was done again with Lines driving us on without Sinclair at home. I don't think anyone can argue that Lines plays better when he's not in the team with Sinclair? Now you mention Saturday, I watch the game closely and don't form an opinion on good every now and then. I worked out last season where Sincs plays better in midfield and that's in a 5 or narrow midfield of 4. Saturday we played 3-4-3 as DC said Monday. At Luton last season we played 5 in midfield and won and Sincs played well.........., the extra man means Lines or Boeteng have an extra man as well to cover them if they want to gamble as well. On Saturday Lee Brown was tucking in as well to cover Boeteng and Sincs but did you notice that left us short on the left flank which they exposed? I hope I've gone some way to explaining that with Sincs we struggle in a 4 man midfield with him and us using wingers, the other central player has to hold for him then. It's been proven every time Lines is dropped its when Sincs is also fit. I think the 4 posters who agreed with me can see what I am saying, I know SteveK watches us week in week out. Our best home performance of the season at home, our only win, m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37001052 work out this puzzle. The Oxford game was 12th home win on eve boucne equalling a record, of the previous Sincs was injured. We come to the 13th, Sincs is back in the midfield at home and we lose.

Once again he was sh1t when he came on last night alongside Sincs:rofl: He came on as a sub with fresh legs, I'm talking starting next to him week in week out. Look at us against Oxford, Lines and Ollie Clarke, Lundstram had a bad game, we didn't need Sinclair running around. How often do we win with Sincs starting compared to him not starting?
