Lamners is s real mystery, first person to ever score in 7 consecutive eredevisie games.
Not saying he was great for us by a long shot, but maybe its not always the players fault. There were some outrageous comments about him and also Dessers that seems a wee tad unfair to me?

i also thought he was treated unfairly, never really git the chance to play a few games at striker, he did have a touch of quality, both rangers and celtic have had a few of that type who have gone onto other football nations and been stars.

Wasn't suited to our game in Scotland. Perhaps he wasn't utilised well, good luck to him. Hope he keeps scoring and we can at least break even.

We never played him as a striker.
29 Apr 2024 12:29:05
Think we ultimately played him out of position. Pre season he looked a really good prospect. Unfortunately it just didn't work out for him. I'll agree about the comments about Dessers - if I'm correct, then I think he's already scored more this season than Morelos did in 4 out of his 6 seasons here.

We probably will never know how he could have been at rangers as he wasn’t given a run as an actual striker.

Baz first person to score seven games in a row for Utrecht.

Played out of position, playing in a team that had totally lost confidence and not fancied by the manager or the support. For a confidence player he was doomed to fail. Unless we fundamentally upgrade the quality level, others will go the same way.

He was best player in team in tight situations, clever feet for big fellow but missed chances in games that cost us points, was never going run about flying into tackles so I can see why the No9 spot has seen best in him, we move on and happy he is scoring to get some money in for transfers in summer.

Is that right John, I've misread it then, I thought it was first person to score 7 games in a row ever. Still pretty good though.

I posted this yesterday and I read it wrong also it’s only for his club in Holland not ever.

I remember we once signed another Dutch forward who had a very similar experience with us. A certain Mr Van Vossen. Came with a good reputation as a very talented and technically adapt forward, had an awful time with us culminating in ‘that’ miss against Celtic. We sold him back to Feyenoord and he ended up back in the Dutch national team.
It would be interesting to see if Lammers could play as an out and out striker for us next season but unfortunately I don’t think we can take the risk of keeping him and he has another poor season. At least now his stock will be high and we’ll be able to sell him on no problem. He seems that type of player that really suits Dutch football which is slower and more technical and where he’ll get a bit more space and time. He’s not a ‘penalty box finisher’ type of striker, who will sniff out and take half chances in a crowded penalty box or bully defenders and hold the play up for others.

Even if you’re played out of position he should still have been able to score from a few yards out from goal.
29 Apr 2024 14:42:08
Seems odd that we didn't play him in his best position.
29 Apr 2024 15:12:59
Cool baz. It’s the way it has been written imo.
29 Apr 2024 16:15:13
He scored again but manager came out and said he was the worst player on the park, not good enough imo.
