The twat who employed him is still here though. Didn't that 'twat' employ our current manager ? Yes his 1 decent manager in 7 is a really impressive statistic.

Dangerous, treacherous trouble maker. One of the main reasons we got relegated from League 1. What a horrible thing to say about one of the most hard working players we've had in recent years .

Great to see lines set up two goals, glad we have a quality playmaker in the team . The guy is a real asset to our club .

Aaron Chapman listed as 6ft 8. Steve Mildenhall listed as 6ft 4. More lies from Higgs , sack the board !

Seemed odd today to have Malpas on the bench and three wingers and no Bliss. Offers something different to what we have and if he does go out on loan or is transferred that will be another player short on quite a thin squad with no signs of anybody coming in. Jamie Lucas ? Scored 2 in 3 for borham wood .

if it wasn't for the clause in his contract that dc had nothing to do with im sure he would of been gone in the summer . Didn't DC offer a contract to every player involved in promotion? Mildenhall activated a appearance clause halfway through the season, similar situation to the one with Jim Patterson

It's either genius or incompetence from DC, with quite literally no middle ground. It's either going to inspire Mildy to win back the place or we should have said bye in the summer. The only reason to allow all this to happen at the end of August and not the end of May is off-field issues or bad planning....can't think of any others, because no one will want to pay the wages of a newly promoted Conference keeper who couldn't get into the team at the end of the promotion-winning season unless they're seriously desperate... I for one hope he can win his place back, but only on DC's terms (ie be up to the job). if it wasn't for the clause in his contract that dc had nothing to do with im sure he would of been gone in the summer .

I bet you hated it when he scored that goal against forest green Not at all.
People miss the point with Lines. They see him as this creative midfielder who is 'non droppable' as he can change a game. If he wasn't Bristolian you'd be calling him the next Andy Bond
The good spell he had with us, and it was a brief spell, was because of all the dirty work that Campbell would do.
Lines is neither creative or someone who can change a game. In the main his set pieces are poor. Yes we can all pick out the pin-point cross that led to a goal (hinton against Fulham or at Halifax last season). But lets be honest how many goals does he create. We have players in the team who can deliver a better dead ball but he showed last week and in games last season that he believes he should take them all. I have always believed his best position is further forward. He has pace, can certainly hit a ball and is big enough to head it. In midfield you need players like Mansell, Clarker and Sinclair. Lines isn't and never will be that type of player
But my biggest gripe is that he doesn't do the dirty and hard stuff at all. Track back, tackle, put a foot in, take one for the team. he is too light weight and has NEVER controlled a midfield, even in the conference last season. If he loses the ball he leaves it for someone else to do the work for him. In a nutshell he is overated and lazy and I was delighted he didn't play Tuesday and I will be even happier if he doesn't play tomorrow.
Signing Lines was a mistake, one I hope DC doesn't live to regret.
we wouldn't of got promoted with a midfield of Mansel and Clark and weather you like it or not lines played a big part in us going up. P. S I couldn't be arsed to read you whole post , far to long dude .

Hopefully Mansell has given Lines a dig telling him to stop acting the billy big bollocks and put a foot in. I bet you hated it when he scored that goal against forest green

Unfortunately the kick it out campaign isn't supported by ethnic minoritys as the campaign does absolutely nothing besides from print t-shirts .

Hot on the heels of the Mattteee thread. Heres one for Tom. We play in Blue. Try to pass the ball to a player that us wearing the same color shirt as yourself. It aint difficult. glad you took the time to slag off a young player who works his socks off for the team . embarrassing !

He's hardly got a prolific scoring record for a player of his value.

By his signings so far DC's giving a v. good impression of a manager with a restricted budget, as apart from Lines it's two non league players, a player who's not even been playing in English football and a loanee. Or a Manager out of his depth with no contacts. so little contacts he signed a bloke playing in fecking Columbia

Played 24 times for Northampton last season before breaking a metatarsal(!) so at least he's a recent regular in Div 2 last season, assuming he's now fully recovered then personally I'd sooner have signed him over M & MM as neither of them have played regularly at this level. Posters saying he's not good enough I assume must have a list of better wingers DC can sign instead, if so, can you share it with the rest of us? So unless you have a detailed scouting report sat on DC's desk your not allowed a opinion on a player.

Well, it just seems to me that he keeps getting it, virtually by default, unless someone else is nailed on. The Beard is the new Andy Tilson Tilson was a centre back .

At least we can't get much worse . How long have you supported Rovers for again? Very true , just trying to pick some positives out of that shambles today.
