Absolutely delighted we've got this guy from lincoln.
Fantastic recruitment this time I think.
Lets Rohl with it.
17 Nov 2025 21:23:04
Definitely needed someone like him Wilkins.
Everything i read seems positive about the guy, let's see what he can do with us.
17 Nov 2025 21:25:29
Could be a very good appointment, as scott fry has very impressive stats currently working at lincoln city ???.
17 Nov 2025 21:31:46
Hearing good things about him too Wilkins.
Suppose we should be praising the recruitment team for this one, its only fair.
17 Nov 2025 22:17:31
Baz we can't praise anyone until we see what the guy brings.
17 Nov 2025 23:28:16
Boy blue, surely i can praise them. A lot of people are saying its a very good appointment and they brought him in. I have a go at them for poor signings so fairs fair.
17 Nov 2025 23:41:11
And we can't right him off ether.
18 Nov 2025 00:16:32
Bit early to get carried away with a guy from league 1,
Been complaining about buying players from lower league in England, but now we are taking coaches from there that appears OK.
18 Nov 2025 00:50:54
We've got clubs in our league signing league two or leagues below in England Jasp, league one is ranked higher than our league, Dundee, Kilmarnock played in league one this season they'd be in league two the next again season.
18 Nov 2025 00:57:51
Ave had a lot of goes at Thelwell and I think they are justified (the best coach he has ever seen! ) But if him and Stewart can turn this around. They will have the whole Ibrox support on board.
The early signs were looking so bad, but hey, we all make mistakes. I think since Danny came in, we are going in the right direction.
Do I trust Thelwell and Stewart is another matter.
18 Nov 2025 01:45:16
Jasp Celtic signed a guy from league 1 and sold him for £30m
It doesn't matter where he's from it matters what he can do in the job.
18 Nov 2025 01:50:41
Horse they need to earn that trust.
I do believe though if they get the bad ones out in January and have a good incoming window and we win silverware, definitely the league, they could that's turned it around.
18 Nov 2025 03:21:02
Baz you certainly can mate. Personally I'll wait to see what he brings before I praise anyone, as people saying he'll be a good appointment and him actually being a good appointment are 2 different things. I've been very vocal about disliking Thelwell and his mates, still think he should be gone, but if turns it around I'll be the first to praise him.
18 Nov 2025 06:27:47
Fair argument BoyBlue.
I'm just thinking it seems like an intelligent appointment from what I've read about the guy and we've been shocking at set pieces, especially defending them, for years now. Every time we get a corner against i'm watching through my fingers.
18 Nov 2025 08:06:16
Ah, the old Thelwell "connection" at work again!
Could he be the "best in class"?! Works "25/8"?! Or maybe it was Dan Purdy who "wanted him"?! A lot to think about, eh?
Seriously?! There's already some on here wetting themselves for this guy when they don't have a clue about him. Another case of "jobs for the boy", and still some on here get taken in. ??.
18 Nov 2025 08:25:43
I've gave up trying to work out how no one is questioning this tbh, other than the fans, are they the best? I don't know, something doesn't sit right with Thelwell n Purdy for me, don't know what, but the dealings are strange imo. Thelwell Jnr, Fry, Barret, Martin all tenuous links oh and to quote Dado?, " the boy from Everton"??.
18 Nov 2025 08:26:49
Seems we get more excited about a coach signing then a player.
Time will tell. Rm brought in a defensive coach look how that worked out!
18 Nov 2025 08:29:48
Sunshine, your hatred is obvious and not many wetting themselves. sure a lot believe its what we need, set piece coach as we are hopeful. has all the positivity been sucked out your soul, if so fine but let others be at least a little bit positive about the news, sure we will find out soon enough but writing everyone off because Thelwell is involved is a bit overboard imo.
18 Nov 2025 08:41:09
30 goals from 64 all from set pieces I seen some say 33 but you can't give him credit for pens but that is great stats.
18 Nov 2025 09:42:23
Jasp
Big difference standard players/coaches. My own view not exactly an appointment strategic proportions but should have pretty quick impact. Wait/see.
18 Nov 2025 10:14:27
Geesado are you silly enough to believe that ANOTHER extensive selection process has brought in another Thelwell chum?
18 Nov 2025 11:36:23
DeBoer, difference between acquaintance than chum. who else do you know with better stats?
18 Nov 2025 12:09:26
Hold on Sunshine. So the people who don't believe the "job for the boys" OPINION based on stats and data, otherwise known as FACTUAL INFO are wrong.
Also saying it's a smart appointment equates to wetting themselves. In that case going by your post you must be treating your home like a rage room smashing everything up because you sound very upset.
As for "best in class" Lincoln may be in league 1 but they had the most set piece goals in the EFL which includes the championship and they had the highest set piece differential in Europe which is goals scored Vs against from set pieces so technically yes he was best in class. Also Danny Rohl was involved in the appointment but I'm sure you'll say that's a false narrative or he's a yes man. Just because wee sunshine from Rangers rumours says so.
Let the anger go buddy. It will all be ok.
18 Nov 2025 12:26:08
Geesa getting triggered by what I post, again! ???.
18 Nov 2025 12:28:49
I don't think hiring a coach with a specific remit, from the First Division is the same as bringing players in. His talents are easily transferrable to a higher league. Its all about, preparation and innovation. having good ideas and putting them into practice. His problem will be that apart from Fernandez not one of our central defenders or strikers attack the ball in the box.
This is the hurdle he'll need to get over. He should also be looking to find others who can mix it up with Tav for variation in deliveries. That will also allow to Tav to go into the box where he is more of a threat than most in the air.
18 Nov 2025 12:35:49
Same baz ?
Geesa writing off everyone because Thelwell is involved is very understandable, or can you point out a player, manager or anyone else he's brought to our club that been a success to date? Don't beleive you can, therefore it's very understandable that fans don't trust anything this man is involved in, why should we.
18 Nov 2025 13:52:45
The only "anger" is from those triggered by my post! ?? Seriously, some on here get themselves all upset by what someone posts. ??.
