Matt Green signs

Quoted from RonMariner

Newport?

Ment to type Mansfield not Newport

The one thing I can remember about him is he's fast and direct. Something we lacked last season.

Just as well you weren't putting it into your Sat nav

Potentially a great signing. Something like 1 in 3 over a decent  period. Hopefully he’ll be given time and applauded if things don’t quite work out initially if he’s trying.

The comments from Nathan Arnold I’d take as a positive sign.

Welcome Matt. Let’s hope you put the gloss on our season with your silk-y skills and you don’t feel like you’re treading on eggshell.

Do you people think Salford City wanted to keep him Green played in nearly all their promotion push games, on their website Salford left it only a few days ago before announcing he was set to leave. Seems like a good signing to me after losing Thomas. Green should wack a fair few goals in providing he gets the service.

A good league 2 signing and whilst not exactly making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up a welcome addition going by former team mates and the Lincoln fan`s comments.UTM

I thought he signed a 2 year contract with Salford, so unlikely they wanted to keep him. But it shows that he's hungry to play football and have some success rather than sit on the bench and claim a decent pay packet.

Most of his games for Salford seem to have been 20 minute appearances at the end of the game from what I can see, can hardly expect him to have a great scoring record if he's not getting the time on the pitch.

He sounds like a hard working team player so we have a good starting point if we can keep him fit.

Not wanting to nitpick but I think Green started 15 of the 21 appearances he made at Salford last season (at least according to telegraph and transfmarkt websites)?

He did not do well goal scoring wise on the face of it. But no idea how he was played at Salford, if he was the main striker/played wide etc.

Also interesting that although Adam Rooney got 20 goals last season he went on a 10/11 game run without a goal so could be service to their forwards was not all that great (despite them winning promotion in the end).

Regards his chances of scoring goals for us this coming season if Norwood can score 30 goals in L2 the standard cannot be all that high...he never seemed especially good when we played FGR/Tranmere in the conference.

Also If you look at last seasons top scorers only four players got 20 goals or more.

Norwood 30
Walker 22
Maynard 21
Agard 20

So perhaps expecting to find a player who will bang in 25 goals is just not going to happen anyway. Probably as much to do with how the game is played now as opposed to the quality of finishers available.

Which makes it even more important that we get goals throughout the team as well.

For example Hess scored a grand total of 0 goals last season. We really need a midfielder to be getting 10+ if we are going to do anything next season especially if we do not have two forwards getting 30+ goals between them.

Was Lincoln's top scorer in this league season before last with around 15 goals. Still plenty to offer at 32 and says he's still quick in his interview. Lastly, he's settled in the local area.

It's a yes from me.
