His second booking was an absolute joke. (Haven't seen the first)LenGlover said:Not an auspicious start getting a red but reading those twitter posts it sounds like some of what he did was positive.
I hope it works out for him and he comes back a better player.0 -
Not great getting sent off but for a team that was losing and needed to dig deep and fight for everything to try and turn it around you have to wonder why only one other Mansfield player got a booking in the game and that was a substitute and he only got booked in the 92nd minute.0

Lapslie plays at 100mph. He is a great option to add energy to a team. He needs to learn aspects that will make him more effective and a loan is a good way to do that. But he has attributes that could mean he develops into a very good player.7

George has got his limitations, sure. But he's come through the ranks and given his all for Charlton.
He's been desperate to play football so he's gone to a loan club, rather than sit on his arse counting his wages.
Put yourself in his position. Trying his best on his loan debut and gets 2 bookings and a match suspension.
I feel for him.
Just for the record, I had no quibble at all with what @Viewfinder wrote.
That was fine. But I couldn't understand why some people found it so funny that one of our players had been so unlucky .... it was other posters' reactions that I questioned.

I hope that others had taken a similar approach to marking it as a "lol" to be honestOggy Red said:

I Lol'd it because it's quite funny that a player might be sent off on their debut anywhere. Our player or elsewhere.4

We are at present, but I don't think it requires a huge leap of the imagination (nor is at all unrealistic if we at last have an owner with just a little bit more ambition than those we have had for the past 5-6 years) to see us as a steady mid-table championship club within the next 2-3 years.orpingtonRED said:
I know what your saying but at the end of the day we are a lower league 1 club. Aspiration is good but I think some of our fans are being unrealisticChris_from_Sidcup said:For me this shows the quick progession in a short space of time under Sandgaard.
Without him we'd have had Lapslie no doubt filling in at right back for some games. Now we have a guy with nearly 100 international caps.
Good luck to him and i hope he does well on loan but i honestly don't see him as any more than a lower half league one player and we obviously aspire to be much higher than that.
As an individual I like George Lapslie. There is absolutely no doubt he gives 100% every time he plays and that he will play anywhere for the team. However, I was not sad to see him go out on loan. I certainly don't see him as championship standard, nor even as a regular in a team aspiring to get promoted out of league 1. It would seem LB feels the same. If he comes back from his loan a better player that will be great but if not so be it. Professional football is a really tough and sometimes cruel profession and it may be that Lapslie's career will be in the lower leagues.0 -
Mansfield were terrible .. look at their (so called) keeper .. The Radfords will be fuming and George must be thinking 'what have I done !!!!'

Hopefully this doesn't mean less game time for Lapslie

I hadn't realised that his goal for Mansfield yesterday was a header, a near post flick on from a corner, as that's not something I associate with him!1

I’m normally a negative nancy, but fck it think he can have a good future at this club. Slightly limited in some respects, but his energy as a CM is unreal, if he has a good season in league 2 he could certainly make the step up whether in league 1 or above. I actually know a Mansfield fan and he says he’s one of their best players! That doesn’t count for nothing in a slightly poor team in league 24

Scores again in the 1-0 cup win at Sunderland .. and a great start for Clough6

A decent looking Sunderland team as well. Wyke on the bench, but Grigg and Graham up frontLincsaddick said:Scores again in the 1-0 cup win at Sunderland .. and a great start for Clough2 -

I started this thread asking whether George is a Steve Gritt for the 21st Century.
After today perhaps I should rephrase to John Mc Govern.3 -
Well done George, adding goals to your style of play.9

He scored so, when's he being recalled

We talk in terms of Chelsea and United youngsters coming to us and learning under LB how to play in midfield. In Clough, Lapslie has another Manager who played in a similar position and who did so for top clubs and England too.
I'm sure Lapslie will come back a better player for this and the different perspective of things when you do get to witness things away from the bubble of your parent club.6 -
I think he’s found his level1

Being the leading light in a poor side and scoring against Sunderland would suggest to me that he is better than league two.wmcf123 said:

Do we know how Mansfield set up and what position they play him in?0
-
Lapslie is to me a solid L1 player, he’s too good for L2
his problem at Charlton is that we have a midfield good enough for a bottom 6 Championship side.9 -
Centre midfield and more attacking role. The Mansfield fans love him and are hoping they sign him also they can build a team around him. Some describe him as the best loan signing they have ever had.Yorkshireaddick said:Do we know how Mansfield set up and what position they play him in?
He never really had a ‘position’ with us and being settled in a role and playing regularly seems to have helped him. Out of contract in June so we will need to make a decision on him soon.I have always liked him as a player and think he is a lot better than league 2. I would sign him up for at least another year and see how he develops as only 23.8 -

I don't see George as physically robust enough to be Dave Mackay, who was a bruiser as well as skilled, personally but a good point all the same.Lincsaddick said:
