Cullen...

...is sitting on the bench for Lincoln. That's a wasted loan spell.

Last time I checked - a few weeks ago - both Cullen and Whittaker were starting. How is Whittaker doing.

If a team doesn't have midfield creativity to get the ball into the box then Cullen won't be effective. He's a penalty area striker pure and simple. I've said before that he's a smaller guy, so no particular strength on the ground or in the air; he's not got blistering pace; like Dan James he's not a flair/tricky player. So what on earth does he offer then? Having watched him progress from the 'Unders', he possesses that strikers' instinct that so few of them have. Get the ball in the box often and he'll get goals. Get the ball in the box VERY often and he'll be prolific. He just needs a manager who understands this. Cameron Toshack and Gary Richards did and Cullen got his goals.

22 February Bolton 3:1 Lincoln ---> played 6 minutes
26 February Lincoln 0:2 Gillingham ---> played 3 minutes
8 Marts Ipswich 2:0 Lincoln ---> played 45 minutes
12 Marts Wimbledon 0:2 Lincoln ---> played 0 minutes, he was on the bench

Since 15 February he's played 54 minutes, which is not enough. He should be playing regularly.

How is Whittaker doing.

Better when it comes to number of minutes on the pitch.

Our U23 beat QPR at the Liberty, featuring Dhanda and Joseph, Joseph scored of 4. We could have one 7 or 8 with the opportunities missed

They played some really good football. The first team should have been made to sit in the stands and learn.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Far more entertaining than the first team

Yes far more entertaining and far more intelligent.

It's great to see the academy doing well. What a bonus it would be to see young Tosh. at the helm of the first team along with his interaction with the academy.

Very true, Cullen has been a good goal poacher. I still believe he can develop other parts of his game.
