@GairGNE commented: “Please be better than the last Lynch we had! Haway the Lads!”

@jake_hannah added: “We now the two best strikers of a ball in the EFL playing at centre half for us. Alim Ozturk x Joel Lynch”

@RobRaine180 asked: “Lynch a replacement for Loovens or we likely to sell Baldwin? If we are to let a CB go personally I would rather it be Flanagan”

@buntingfootball said: “Hopefully he’s now found his level wasn’t great in the championship made so many mistakes for QPR. This level might just suit him better and I hope it does. Prone to the odd wonder goal.”
