He's signed on loan until January, subject to clearance he may not appear in tonight's match.

Played very well apart from a couple of punts out of play at the end when we were under the cosh.

We'll only find out how good he actually is after a few games. Does look a decent keeper though. Slightly concerning he didn't come off his line for anything at all. Maybe the plan is for McCombe and Astles to deal with the crosses. They certainly had a lot to deal with.
I posted elsewhere that I wasn't convinced about Lynch as first choice, so was pleased to see Conor sign up, and start.

Personally much rather see a keeper of our own between the posts, making a name for himself. Lynch is only a young keeper the same as Mitchell, so as much as Mitchell looks a decent keeper, it's a shame regards Lynch. He did look in poor shape though pre-season, physically has clearly been at the pub too much. |

He did look in poor shape though pre-season, physically has clearly been at the pub too much. He hardly looked in the peak of fitness during pregnancy season. He's a young lad making his way in the game, trying to hold a career for himself. He should do everything he can to ensure he can perform at his best. I was wondering whether he was following the Felgate fitness regime! Last season we conceded a lot of goals from long range shots. The way we play, by dropping deep and defending, we need a keeper who can consistently make those saves. I know he also made some good saves, but as the season went on this trend got worse. He also was poor coming for crosses and corners. He seemed to be knocked out of the way too often. He wasn't improving despite the coaching. We don't yet know how good Mitchell is. I'd also prefer our own keeper to play in an ideal world. I suspect Lynch may get his chance again soon. |

Shit at pens tho so maybe not |

Shit at pens tho so maybe not A keeper who can't save the majority of long range shots isn't really much use. During a game they will have to deal with 6 to 8 on target shots, a few crosses and loads of pass backs, kicks etc. Of those shots only 3 or 4 will be long range. You can't concede one every game. A decent shot stopper is key to the way we defend. It's a bit like a striker that doesn't score goals, or a centre half that isn't decent in the air. Lynch may well develop into a league standard keeper. He's got plenty of time to do so as they tend to peak around 30. He might actually be better than Mitchell. We'll find out in the next few weeks. JMc may actually be making a point to Lynch by not selecting him. I would prefer a Matt Glennon type of keeper who was an excellent shot stopper, but never came off his line. That would suit us better. Agree we won't get one that's very good at all things. |

Is carrying a knock, or was carrying a knock? Thought he was fit now, but he'd not played much football because of the toe injury and so was left out. You're probably closer to the club than me, but what JMc says publicly and what he says privately to players aren't always the same. He protects his players. Quite rightly. Who do you think is the best keeper? I'm not yet sure. |

Personally I thought we were lucky to keep hold of him over the Summer, funny how people see things differently. I'm not a fan of this getting a keeper on loan of the same standard as the first choice to give them competition, I understand the thought process behind it by giving competition for the place but I thought it caused quite a lot of issues last season. |

The lad on loan is a U21 international, his parent club will have told us that he must appear in a certain number of games between now and January.
Just deal with the fact that this is how it works, they won't just loan a future star out if he won't get game time will they!
McCarthy has a choice to make, and he might end up losing Lynch if he doesn't manage it correctly

Maidstone & Sutton away to name just 2 games. Thought he was at fault with Rooney's goal for Wrexham as well. Don't think he is tall or physical enough in the area and his positioning for free kicks is also poor. (Solihull away to name but 1). I personally think if Roberts had played instead we would have been safer earlier last season. |

[br Think the Wrexham one he coulda done better an a few others but all keepers make mistakes also made some very good saves and motm awards to an is down on wiki as 187cm an has to be 80/90kg so not a lot wrong there! Roberts made a few mistakes also as I'm sure Mitchell will it's all part of the learning curve for young keepers |

Tough call regarding Lynch, keeper has great potential and has made some worldy saves, but I agree with several others who comment on his ability or concentration regarding shots from outside the box. No problems personally with Mitchell starting, had a solid game against Fylde, has extra height and seemed comfortable without being overly stretched minus one great save in the second half to earn a point. In an ideal world would love one of our own to start between the sticks, but I always think there is a mistake in Lynch every game. Can make 2 or 3 fantastic saves then dives over one from 25 yards.
