mikeyp102 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 We've obviously never seen him much and he has been out for a while; but with jedinak injured still could he come in for contention at dm so we can play hourihane and Lansbury further forward? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 If he's fit I'd rather see him there than anyone else. Even if it's the last 20 mins to see a game out. Shame for him getting injured, it's probable he'd have got a chance at some point what with our woes in midfield this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Get him with the first team and tell him to stick to Jedinak like glue. I want Lyden to be learning everything he possibly can from Jedinak. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 any idea why he didnt play in the latest reserve game? Would have been good for his fitness? I hope he didnt get injured again. He has been called up to a future socceroos training camp in Spain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Another brief performance tonight, hopefully gets fully fit soon. Could be vital legs in midfield this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimcohen Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I really like this guy, every time I have seen him play he wants to make an impact, he forces things and shows a real good attitude. I know all of the above should be a given for a pro footballer, but sadly it isn't and this guy has it in spades. I would have him on the bench for the first game I think, and keep him on the match day squad till Jan, see how much game time he gets and then if its not much loan him out.

KSV Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Its just a shame we wasted two matches on Veretout instead of giving Lyden a go. I know i am bias.. but he really does look a good player in midfield. I remember the youth game when he came back from injury last season.. came on scored.. got an assist and won them the game. Same against Shrews.. came on got a pen. He just makes in impact. The latest game he had a nice dummy and got a shot away.. he gets into the box. Dont often see that from our midfielders. Probably why Bruce never plays him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Isn't disciplined' and 'ventures forward' sound like possible reasons a manager wouldn't play a player; 'making an impact' and 'winning penalties' obviously aren't.

striker Posted July 20, 2017 Visiting Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2017 I really do think Bruce has missed a trick here in giving more game time to Lyden in the DM role but there is still time for that in whats left of pre-season. I just hope with the signing of Whelan Bruce doesn't become blinkered in his approach to Lyden and farm him out on loan for the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he does go out on loan - he's had a long injury and needs to get some competitive football- one for the future maybe but not for now .

For me he is ready now and you could see that in his little cameo in the last game. Tish should be sent out on loan if not sold so Lyden should be retained in the first team squad. I honestly can't see either Whelan nor Jedinak going a full season without a lengthy injury so he would be excellent cover for a few positions as Lyden can play further forward as well. I just think Bruce needs to show the same faith in him as Green but no doubt with the signing of Whelan he will probably be loaned out which I think will be a mistake unless only until say January and able to recall him.
