He’s got the same haircut I and most of my year at school had in 1995!

Not going to lie... that is a bit disappointing, I was hoping for some unknown football legend.

Agree it would have made sense if I've heard about "Papa Johns Pizza" though... : ) but they dont exist over here as far as I know.

Papa Johns is THE worst.
What on earth is that garlic mayo dip they do?

The pizza is fine, but that dip is just nasty.

How did he get on last night (Max, not Papa John)? Anyone know?

Any idea how long his contract is? FOUR SEASONS?

A few comments from their forum about Max "Dale Stephens" Sanders on a thread asking for the MOTM:-

Gone for Sanders who looked very tidy and progressive in his 60 minutes. Always available for a pass and put himself about. Looks an asset once he's up to 90 minute fitness. Impressive start

.. and Sanders looked highly promising in his hour and will hopefully be an important player over the rest of the season.

.but im slightly surprised the rave reviews Sanders has got.. he did okay for a first outing but i thought he didnt look especially fit and only attempted simple side ways passes the few times he got on the ball.

And from their player ratings:-

Sanders 7 Very decent first appearance. Looked at home in the team and was always available for a pass and was looking to make forward passes most of the time. Impressed

Sanders 6 Thought he was a little negative and unsure first half, but was excellent second half, and I was surprised he was taken off.

Sanders 6.5 - did ok

Sanders - 7 - impressive first showing - a couple of missed passes outweighed by the good; hard working, strong tackling, worked well and seemed comfortable in a midfield 3 which cleverly rotated holding/advancing roles.

Sanders 5.5 Understandably cautious on his debut. Reluctant to pass more than 4 feet and I felt he slowed our movement down too much. Will improve.

But do they use 6 as an average for their players ratings?! THAT is the big question!

Ditto I and most of my school in 1963. What goes around, comes around and around

Sanders is on the bench for Lincoln for their play-off semi-final first leg at home to Sunderland this evening. Currently 0-0, just after half-time.

Lincoln lead 1-0, Liam Bridcutt with the assist.

Lincoln with slight advantage going into the second leg then. Doesn't seem to be working out that well for young Max though - are Lincoln likely to be having a clear out/shake up in the summer, leaving him with more opportunities, does anyone know?

Sanders was an unused sub on Saturday, but started for Lincoln tonight in their Carabao Cup tie at Shrewsbury. They led 2-0 but the Shrews pulled it back to 2-2.

Sanders scored his spot-kick in the shoot-out but the Imps lost 4-2 on pens.

He's finding it hard work since he left us, I think.

Yes, always thought he’d be a natural Dale Stephens replacement, but he seems to have not progressed and is now behind Bridcutt

 

[Swansman]

First league start of the season today when Lincoln went to Sunderland and won 3-1.

Lots of praise from their fans: https://forums.vitalfootball.co.uk/search/342252/?q=sanders&o=date
