If you were John Lundstram...

Make sure I levelled Grealish even harder next time.
 



Go to night clubs and brag to lovely ladies about being a professional footballer. Splash some cash on expensive drinks. Then take the nicest one home.

Would also buy all my supermarket ready meals from the ‘best of’ range and get luxury quilted bog roll.

I would also set up direct debits for all my regular bills, so I didn’t forget to pay them. It’s a busy life being a pro footballer I can tell you!


Take the nicest ONE home ????

Although technically I suppose you're right.
There can only be ONE nicest one
 
Get ready for my appearance in centre mid in the playoff final after an injury crisis.

Far fetched? Thats how Monty ended up playing in 2012.
 
Get really lean and fit, practice close control and footwork a lot, and think of reinventing myself as a ball winning box to box type.

On that note reckon he would do a decent job at Right CB. Was good to see stevens do so well in that roll too. Though letting Lafferty gonwould leave us short there but thankfully not.
 
There’s no shame in beaing the 4th potentially third best (depending on Coutts) central midfielder for a team in the premiership (next season of course).

He’s a good player but we have better it’s how successful football teams work. Jordan Sancho was 6th best at City now look at it him.

But if I was him I’d keep training hard knowing midfielders like him usually get snapped up and have a good football career.

Is he related to Jadon Sancho?
 
Is it just me who genuinely thinks he’s half decent?

You've answered what a lot think - half decent. The quality of our best 11 is why they are our best 11 and why we have been top 3 in the division for quite a while.

Lundstram and Evans played in the first 2 games and the entire midfield was awful. Fleck played also but the midfield was just a total mismatch of players.

He is far from being a bad player - it all depends where some of our fans want to play their football. Ask the pigs as they are now seeing what "average" really means, except they are paying exceptional wages for average and mediocre.

UTB

There's the answer - sell him to the pigs. He wouldn't complain at £40k p.w. Especially when somebody has to tell them later that it was £4k p.w. he was on here.
 
I’d put my name into the anagram solver website to see if anything comes up. Such as this below.

Change my name to John Plectrum and work in a guitar shop where I’d be wanted.
 
Keep training. Keep learning. Wait for an opportunity if it comes along in the team and if not I'm sure he'll get a spot elsewhere. I feel sorry for him because I think I've only ever seen him play once in the position I feel is his best. Unfortunately we don't start and we rarely finish in that formation.
 



Thats the problem with him though. He's so top heavy he needs to play every week just to be match sharp. I'd be asking to play in every U23 game. Its about his speed of thought and vision just as much as his physique. I'm not sure being leaner and fitter will improve that.

This. His positional awareness and thought process is always a split second or two behind, meaning he often looks off the pace.
 
Lundstram is a really good solid midfield player . But we have players ahead of him in our squad. Being a good pro he will accept it and wait for injuries and suspensions to offer him a possible way back. Could yet be needed. Unlikely but who knows
 
Change my second name to Jones so people could spell it properly.
 
The thing with John Lundstrum is that he’s a very good allround player, a bit of a really poor mans Steven Gerrard.

The problem is although he’s decent at everything, he’s not great at anything. I get the impression that up to a certain level then Lunny would stand out as a star player but once he reaches his ceiling then he struggles.

He’s probably one of them that’s too good for league 1 but not good enough for the Championship.
However he’s still young and shoukd still learn and improve.
Also his temperament/ leadership qualities must be excellent because he was made captain at Oxford at such a young age.

I’m still a fan of Lundstrum and see potential in him but he might need to drop down to league 1 to really shine again.
However Wilder still obviously sees his value. Wonder how Lunny would have coped if he’d gone to Rotherham on loan.
 
Why do people feel the need to criticise someone because they aren't as good as someone else? He was signed when mid table was the expectation, for which he would be fine. We just happened to move on much quicker than he could.

Because he is paid relatively handsomely to perform a specific role at a specific level. He fails at this. He along with the players that were brought in January last year were grossly inferior to what was required. The others have been culled, and I would suspect the JL will be leaving in the next transfer window. In my humble opinion, he is not only not good enough for us, but not good enough for a mid table championship side. He is comfortably a League 1, with the possibility of being a player for a bottom 5 championship side with continued effort & application. He lacks mobility, which is a vital ingredient in a modern player. Players lacking this have to make up for it by being really good at something else. He isn't. He's the footballing equivalent of lukewarm water, 5/10 across all skill sets.

Whilst the club are paying his not inconsiderable wages, and whilst those wages are in part paid for by us punters, he is open to a fair & just critique.

We signed a League 1 player, for a League 1 fee - Don't then criticise the man for being just that, a League 1 player.

Who hasn't let us down in the division above. His main fault is not being Paul Coutts after our star midfielder suffered a bad injury.

Quite a few other players wouldn't have been Paul Coutts either, but don't worry about that. Put the boot in anyway as he is our official club scapegoat and even more so, since the 'lazy' Leon Clarke left.
