Frustrating the next six or so.

He hardly scores any goals and doesn't create a lot unless he is on a good day. Should be dropped.

What goal?

The disallowed one obviously. It doesn't take anything away from the cross though does it?
 
Not sure if it’s been mentioned or not cba to read all the pages. But he slots in nicely at RB if we need to shuffle things about, another reason why he stays on probably.
 
Gooch will improve and get more consistently effective as the season goes on and he gets used to a settled system and new team mates.
the fickleness and unreasonable expectations of many on here amazes me.
Show me a player who is brilliant every week and I will show you a player we cannot afford.

F...k you on about man!
 
He's an inconsistent player.

Brilliant performance one game but frustrating the next.
Minute to minute...

To me, he’s trying to be the hero all the time...he has better options around him which he ignores and goes with the lowest percentage one. Very frustrating player...
Lynden Gooch is one of the best players in league one.

You're all mental.

If this is true then surely Championship clubs would be lining up bids for him the last 3 seasons...?? Or this could be just your opinion that many Championship clubs disagree with...and other League 1 clubs for that matter.

I think he gets frustrated he doesn't perform at a level he'd like too.

At one point years ago he looked like he might have the potential to play Premier League.

I love his dedication though and he's easily a top league 1 winger. An asset to the club at this level imo.

And the type of player a top manager could get performing at his peak.

I'd imagine wages would be an issue since he's been in the squad since prem days. Also, I dont know if any teams have taken a look at him or not, and neither do you :)
 
He's a decent option in this league but he aint fast, clever or have a good footballing brain on his shoulders. He has alot to prove this season. It either happens for him or he'll get replaced next year. He needs to step up a bit as a 1st team player imo

I think it’s fair to say no team has made a substantial bid for his services...there have been 9 teams promoted to the Championship since our drop, at least 9 teams in the relegation zone in the Championship and 8 transfer windows...I don’t think I’ve ever heard any rumblings that Gooch was on a possible move.
 
The fact he can play full back kept him on the pitch tonight. On Gooch's display tonight and last Saturdays , Diamond must be close to a start (although he is inconsistent as well), his direct running would have served us better tonight as they played a high line.
Pritchard or Embleton may end up nicking Gooch's place. I think they're both better players than Diamond, who is very much a Gooch clone in his style of play.

He's an academy product who likes living in the area. Loyalty is still a thing to some people.
Here's a link to an article about possible interest from Middlesbrough. They chose the cheap option.

So going off this logic someone like Scott Fraser (who this board fawn over) is shite as well then along with Burtons player who is now flavour of the week.
 
I have a theory about Gooch.

Now and again he has a good game, he gets the plaudits and it seems to affect him. The next game (or several games) he seems to ignore all of the good advice he’s been given and revert to his natural game which seems to be head down trying to go around or through the opposition.

After several of these bad games the coaches manage to get in his ear and eventually he’ll have a decent game again and so it continues.

The result is his match average rating ends up being below 6 which isn’t really good enough.

He’s better when he’s got competition for his place.
I think this applies to Maguire during his time with us too.

He is fast though. His pace and energy is a big part of why he’s an asset in this league especially pressing high up which is what we want to do.
 
Gets at people non stop man he’s s winger that’s what you want he’s committing defenders , hit the bar against Wigan anarl with a hell of a strike stats would of been right up there if that went in . He’s making the fullbacks work every game they are always struggling with him they never have an easy ride

100%
 
Would reckon he is one of the first names on the team sheet every week.
He does a job anywhere he is asked and still gets slagged off.
 
It’s because he’s getting on peoples titts waving his hands around moaning for every single thing just get on with it
The hand/arm waving is daft like as he doesnt actually shout to anyone or organise when other teams come at us.
Hope he bangs one in on saturday and shuts people up.
