Alex Lawless

[Esteban]

Good job we didn't have to struggle through the play-offs. Just noticed that Alex Lawless is a bit of a bad luck charm, having been on the losing team in 3 consecutive conference play off finals.

2010 - lost against Oxford playing for York City
2011- lost against AFC Wimbledon playing for Luton
2012- lost against York City, again playing for Luton

But shows his credentials for playing in teams making it that far.

True. He was also part of the Luton side which eventually won the conference.

[Cheshunto]

Maybe worth a 1 year deal as a utility player next season.??

[Long slender neck]

not for me clive

I thought that sort of thing made him a nearly man?

Seems a good guy and loyal clubman but time to move on, say goodbye and thank him for his efforts whilst playing for Leyton Orient.

[RedDwarf 1881]

I think he actually played better at RB then he did in CM. I thought he done a good job at RB and would have been happy enough to see him carry on there.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

If we got the playoff final he'd only be able affect the game from the stands.

Probably that’s what will happen Sid, but I think I would prefer Lawless to Ling at RB

I think that as it is, Lawless would only be played there as a fourth option if Judd, Turley, Ling and Lawless where all 100% fit and ready to go !
Pity that Lawless was never given the chance to play right back till recently and when given the role, he did a reasonable job !

Can't be an Orient fan then can you?

[aylesburyos]

Maybe he will go back to Yeovil?

Facts are negative? This post was clearly tongue in cheek.

Try again Mr Neutral.

He done ok.

But not a patch on Turley.

[Redcard]

Sorry, but we can do better.

[LOFC1948]

Sorry, but we can do better.

True

[Disoriented]

He showed lots of character when he was forced to play out of position at right back but overall, it is hard to justify a contract extension for him based on his two years of mixed output.

I agree.

[Kitch’s Magic Toes]

Not sure what was mixed about it. Nowhere near good enough for League 2 at this stage of his career.

It wasn’t consistently poor.

[eagwgw]

He had a few good games around the time Edinburgh came in. I think that helped him start this season first choice.

No goals, no assists, just a disastrous signing given he previously scored some great goals but never looked like doing so for us and we would have been paying him a decent wedge. Probably a victim of the formation change which also nobbled the likes of Boco/Mooney/Caprice, did not offer much defensively and didn't have enough to be direct.

He'll be lucky to stay in the NLP in my view.

[Urbane Vancelo]

F*cking flawless.

[mildandbitter]

Just to offer an alternative view. I have been working with a guy who used to play with Alex Lawless at York and he thinks he's an excellent player. When I told him that some fans were less than complimentary about him, he couldn't believe it. He also said that he would be a better player in League rather than non League football. My own view is that he was tidy enough, but didn't impose himself on games as a centre mid.

[EliotNes]

IMO a squad needs players like him who can play in a few positions and step in when there are injuries/suspensions and do the job on the day, which is what he did at full back.
