He also played all his football for us under Adkins other than part of JJs first game as caretaker this season.
Dobson and Clare have shown some wrote them off far too early and they both have the potential to step up to the Championship in time.
Fair point. I like Lavelle, but I see him as a replacement for Pearce. Innis and Famewo are comfortably the best CBs at the club
He's great for when Innis is injured (which is most of the time) and I think Famewo is having a really bad season to the standards he set in his first one. Hopefully he can turn it around.
Lavelle is fine but doesn't strike me as someone that will go above League One.
He's another one who's got better and better the longer he's been out of the squad.
Some of you know how to welcome back a player with a good attitude from injury!
After a slow and clumsy start, he was starting to show some ability. Like when he actually got his injury, hard pressing a foreard back to the half way line before a slip.
I can't see the fuss about Lavelle yet. At no point has he looked like the next Beckenbauer thus far
For all the shit Inniss took for getting two injuries he is dominant when he plays. I wonder if Lavelle gets the same hard time for missing a similar amount of game time

You can't play down Ryan's injuries like that. He played 13 games last year and has played 9 this year. The most he has ever managed in his career is 22.

It's not a dig at Lavelle, it's just typical of our fanbase. Like you said he had a clumsy starts and was just starting to find some consistency, but apparently now he's clearly our best CB and walks back into the team?
We sign nothing but world beaters, it's just that they're only at that level when they're out injured.
I think he's excellent. Not gonna get in the side ahead of Innis when fit and probably not quite a good enough passer to regularly play on the left or right of the back 3. But he is strong and consistent, the perfect player to have as cover for all 3 roles if needed but also you know he is going to play a significant number of games each year due to Innis fitness and I'd be very comfortable with him doing that.
Will hopefully be a nice problem to have, having 4 options for 3 places, rather than the normal 2 and a "he'll have to cover". Inniss isn't going to play week in, week out either.

Spot on. The fan base is far too quick to judge the players and like you say only get better when out injured (in a lot of cases). Far too many of the squad is average and I base this on where we are in the league table, but to hear the way some go on about our players its like we have suffered a 30 points deduction this season for our league position to be where it is

Would be a massive boost to have him back in the squad.
Depends how long Inniss can go without picking up a knock or Clare can keep up his form playing in an unfamiliar position.
Lavelle is an unfortunate position. Pretty much made himself undroppable before injury and now will find it hard to get back in.
If Innis is out and Pearce coming out of his purple patch, he does have a role to play in the 1st 11 still.
Little surprised he's not had more U23 game time, especially a full match

May make Clare at RWB an option too.
I like Lavelle, a blood and guts type of centre half a la Jason Pearce, you need them.
