I hope the new boss quickly works.out how useless this bloke is as a football player. Totally out of his depth, loses the ball everytime he has it and poses no threat what so ever apart from nearly getting a red card yesterday for taking someone elses head off.
Im just amazed he keeps playing a part, lets ship him back to spalding, better off playing a striker.from the reserves.
-
I was worried for my car when he took a shot yesterday.

I think he has got ability,but it needs to be nurtured somewhere else.
What has happened to Fairhurst, really can't make him out,he does have ability and knowhow plus experience,but just doesn't seem to want it anymore.

Probably still busy trolling DG on Twitter.

Problem is potential isnt quite good enough when we are trying to get a last minute winner, potential i think is generous - at best i think hes a good Sunday league player, just my opinion, totally out of depth im afraid just like the spaniard we played because it was potential.
Greg smith well deserves his place, we need someone to play off him, and it aint gonna be lamin or wade thats for sure.

Reminds me of Mark Rawle, he turned out ok

We nicknamed him Bambi, because he looked like Bambi on ice.

Patience is needed. He should be a hot shot in February and March, after all, that's Lamin season!
He might start hitting the baaa. In all seriousness though, his performances as a sub won't have pulled the wool over anybody's eyes.
-
Lamin reminds me of a past player called Willy Gamble, he was very much like Lamin and sadly did not improve and couldn't hit a barn door, Willy had a special feature in the Fanzine mag,entitled Willy's Gambles boots, a bit like billy's boots, but in Willys case his boots sadly did not improve his performance lol.
-
I agree...he needs to up his game {and his none existant first touch} immediately.......his penalty miss against St. Celtic at the beginning of the season at the Town End was possibly the worst attempt at scoring from a penalty kick EVER seen at YS.....perhaps that astonishing miss is still haunting him....

I saw Willy in Retford last week when we were talking about the trials and tribulations of Worksop Town & Retford United.
Willy's son, Owen, is doing well at Sunderland, playing as a right back in their U18 side. He joined them from Donny Rovers at the start of last season.
-
Good that Willie is doing well, he did seem to loose hos way with us, probably trying to hard at times.
He got a lot of stick from the fans,and that seemed to effect him in a negative way.
Perhaps we should lay of Lamin,and just let things take their natural course,as they normally do.

A couple of points:
(1) Shouldn't we be supporting and encouraging our players rather than mocking them? Lamin Colley isn't the best player we've ever had, but he's human and I'm sure he will have read some of the comments on here. Strikers are at their best when they are confident, frankly some of the comments on here could destroy a player who must already be low on confidence. We've seen similar behaviours in the past, for instance when a large section of the home support cheered after Simon Rusk was substituted. I don't really get it - if we're true supporters then we back whoever wears the shirt at any given time. I've never spoken to Adam Murray, but I'm sure he'd rather our supporters were encouraging Boston players instead of attacking them.
(2) Please explain to me why Lamin is the player that is being singled out here. A few weeks ago we lost 9-2 at Fylde and whilst the home side were very good, some of our team put in the most abject performances I can ever remember in many years of watching Boston. Not long afterwards we threw away a two goal lead to crash out of the FA Trophy against a team two leagues below us. Embarrassing as both games were, Lamin was still on loan at Scarborough for both matches so isn't to blame for either of those failings. And yet despite the massive shortcomings of lots of others this season Lamin gets a thread all of his own to describe how **** he is! It's disproportionate - lots of other players have let us down more.
Lamin - if you are reading this then ignore the negative comments - lots of supporters are behind you. Go and score the winner at Gainsborough mate, that will shut the critics up.
-
Talking of Donny .. what happened to that forward who supposed to come to Boston on loan ?

Gone back... was only a youth loan so either club could end it at any time. Murray obviously wanted to see what Colley could do instead.
-
A bot of constructive criticism can bring the best out of people, so its time for Lamin to shut us all up.
Come on Lamin show what you can do, this is not criticism but a challenge matey.
Yes we have all had a laugh at your expense, but he who laughs first,laughs last!
Make that come true Lamin.

6'4
Try him further back .
-
Well now that GS is going to be absent for an undetermined period of time,its an ideal opportunity for LC to step up and prove us all (well most of us anyway) wrong...
-
Played well today when he came on. Lost it a couple of times but a bit of belief and some grit and he will be fine. A goal and some confidence
-
Played well ???? Okay everyone knows what I think about him as a footballer, we definitely need cover for Greg, Lamins' a lovely lad but he is not the answer.

In principal I agree, but next week vs Stockport, he's against his old team. I say give him a go, players have a funny way of doing something different against their former sides. You never know.....

Doesn't that argument only apply against Boston? I can remember Ben Chapman and Chris Holland both scoring against us when I don't think either ever managed it in a Boston shirt. It doesn't seem to happen as much for a Boston player to haunt one of his former employers. Unless anyone else can help my memory?

Also the possibility of Kaine Felix coming on as a late sub to score Stockport winner !!!!

Chris Hollands goal against u was only his 3rd career goal and Ben chapmans goal for kingslynn was is 1st ever, past players love scoring against us

following todays game vs SC......Im guessing that LC is not in our new managers plans....it was plainly obvious at half time that we needed a target striker up front...so on comes Nat Brown(!)... a proven defender playing as a target striker!.....not looking good for LC...

Brown has played up front for Lincoln in the past, but you're right, LC must have been very disappointed when 2 forwards and a makeshift one all come on and leave him sat on the bench. The pecking order just became longer for him.
-
The stark truth is Gregg Smith is the only striker we have that is worth a place in the team .

nice responsive post...however,from memory, Nat did indeed play upfront for Lincoln on occassions....but when he was "younger and more mobile" {no offence meant towards Nat}...
-

and didn't it show? without him we had little across the front at all. No team is a one man team, but Gregg is clearly such a big loss. We all new he would be missed, but today showed exactly how much of a void there is without him.
-
Well he came from lower league. .hopefully there is someone similar around .

True Ted , Greene found Ricky Miller in the Uni South , same with Gregg Smith, and Dayle Southwell in under 21 football .

Thank god murray used his sense and hopefully read this post when deciding not to put lamin on - clearly hes on his way out - im sorry but anyone who struggles at the pre-match warm up (today and every week) says it all for me, how he thinks he will get picked is beyond me. Talked to Greg after the game, lovely bloke and really genuine takes time to speak to everyone especially my lad, role model if ever there was one - can we get him cloned? seriously tho, fairly good performance by boston to be far didnt expect any more - as say everyone we need more competition upfront, 3 more if fairhurst and lamin are going - probably someone like greg who.can hold the ball and another who can play off him.
All is not lost and we will improve.

We are in big trouble if the manager has to read Patter to get his team selection right !
-
lol it evades me why he is still under contract yet still gets near the bench and is available, might aswell call time if Nat is preffered to our sub strikers, joke really

I too had a word with Gregg and agree with you,he chatted to lots of fans and posed for selfies with a lot,a few more could do with a lesson from him.
-
I am sure Adam will sort out the striker issue shortly,we must all be patient and give him time to sort this team out.
By what he said on the radio, he is not going to put up with performances like that anymore, so expect some changes in personnel shortly.
He ain't going to mess about this fella.

Did Gregg give you an update on his injury , and a realistic guess at how long he will be out ?

I would think the three most difficult jobs in football management are ...
1. Unloading unwanted contracted players .
2 Identify a free scoring striker .
3 Managing to sign the said striker .
-
And Boston need 2 ???

Many Halifax fans would love to see the back of Tom Denton . Signing him would take up a grand of our budget .
-
Best team in NPL appears to be Buxton ..
Bring on the next John Froggatt :angel:
-
If Denton was a Boston player,he would spend most of his time suspended.
LOL 😁

I've just been reading the Halifax forum, and they absolutely hate their manager and what he has brought to their club.

He has brought North Ferriby and Garner,no wonder they upset.
-
In typical style he was hoping to get back later this season although will know more in a couple of weeks after another scan, personally i think march / april at the earliest, will have to see.
I dont think Adam has any choice but to get at least 1 new striker in now, and back it up with a striker out the under 19's, we seriously can't do any worse. Will go back to the start of this thread, please get rid of lamin and waide - out of depth and journeymen!

I came across this on the FB page...posted on July 2nd 2016....
The poster was a Green out type
"This is another good signing in my opinion this lad has massive potential. 6ft 4, strong mobile and could be a real gem . Perfect club for him to fulfill potential. Not worried about reviews remember grant Roberts couldn't get a game for trinity and what a signing that was. Up the pilgrims."
Who would be a football manager lol

Moved on
-
Lamin has gone, he cancelled his contract.
-
Thank god for that, looks like he jumped before he was pushed.
Looking forward to seeing the replacements!

Wouldn't be surprised if it comes from the bench initially!
-
Big clubs are buying up lower league forwards like crazy
So replacement may be a junior internal :blank:
-
Looks like Colley and Fairhurst have been replaced by Alex Simmons (loan) and Karl Hawley.
Both good signings, Simmons did well when he was here before and scored a good goal for Halifax at York Street earlier this season.
Remember Hawley playing against us in League 2 for Carlisle, was a good striker then and he must still be up to it being top scorer in the league below last year.
Would imagine both are short term fixes though with Simmons being a loan deal (although might be a chance of being permanent if Lincoln get promoted) and Hawley being 35.

Fairhurst scored for Frickley today
-
Fairhurst scored for Frickley today
that doubles his season tally!
-
Maybe he only scores north of Stockport :blank:
-
I think if and I mean if, Fairhurst gets his confidence back in front of goal and gets fully fit.
I see him as a good pairing with Brodie, Wade does have ability and has track record of scoring goals.
Lets see if he can come back and shut us all up,because he could easily do that,if he can get his mojo back.
Perhaps the shock of being at Frickley will be enough of an incentive. Who knows???

his player profile says he's on loan from us. No offence intended, but I thought he'd gone for good?
