Why do I always get a picture in my head of Alec Lindsay looking helpless facing a Luton Town penalty every time I here his name mentioned in commentary. Especially when you are thinking of Derek Parkin.😉

Even though he was covering for Smith for chunks of the game? And had people passing through space left by Allen? Batth isn’t the issue. To the OP, Lindsay looks decent and might have the potential to be very good for us. Certainly wants to play rather than hoof it. He was tested at times yesterday and isn’t the complete arrival yet I suspect. Good player though who I think will improve quite a bit. Where did I say he was THE issue? What is this obsession with finding THE one issue with us on this messageboard? When things go wrong it is down to a lot of issues, not THE issue. I think he's had a slow start to the season, that's all. You're right. On both counts.

Lindsay is a real talent and if any CB should be replaced, the focus should be on Batth. Collins and CCV should be given a chance on the right side or even, for now, go to 3 CBs to look to stop giving away silly goals. 3512 could be a good stop gap, Butland (debatable) Ccv Collins Lindsey Edwards Etebo nduiye(?)clucas Ince/ Powell Gregory Hogan/vokes/Campbell

Wouldn’t mind seeing Lindsay and Collins at Wigan.

A Lindsay/Collins partnership is an exciting prospect.
Would Jones have the balls to play 2 kids in the heart of his defence though?

It was like his feet were stuck in the pitch. You can not just let a player run past you like that. Just that is bad enough but he then failed to react a second time to the flick. A simple lack of concentration cost us a goal. Ince not tracking his man cost us the 2nd. Simple basic errors.

For his first competitive game at this level I was impressed by him, particularly his composure on the ball. Needs time to settle with Batth as a partnership but I honestly reckon at 23 we could have a very decent prospect on our hands especially after he's had half a season to settle in to the team and the area. FFS he comes from Barnsley not Bermuda. To be fair the population of Yaarkshire do believe it is another country😜

Bart is the one who needs changing out imo. I'm sick of seeing him defending the near post from our left - he's moving into the other CB's space a lot. Lindsay looks good, really good. Found a lot of the ball and used it well. Good tackle on him too. Oh, missus! fnarr, fnarr!
