Goal helps Timlin's cause ahead of contract talks
           


  MICHAEL Timlin will be hoping to convince interim chairman Jeremy Wray today that he is worthy of a new deal at Swindon after expressing his desire to play a part in the club’s push for promotion
  from League Two next season.

Timlin has started 3 times as many games as last season so has had a fair look in. It's scary to think he's been with us 5 seasons and has only been a regular for 1.5 of those.

Think he'd do better to get a contract with Sturrock.

You could argue he's good to have as a sub.

Hope he gets a deal.

I beg to differ. He's better when he starts, does nothing as a sub - probably down to tactics.

But what's he achieved in 5 years? Time to let go in my opinion. He's got a good attitude etc. but we can't get sentimental if we want a clear out. When we let Peacock go it did us good.

If he's happy to be a bit part player then keep him, he's handy back up.
Personally, if I was him, i'd be looking for regular football elsewhere, but if he's happy here being used sparingly then keep him.

Hes a decent CM for League 2 - I'd keep hold of him. 

my workmate was in the same class as michael timlin at school..true story

Was he shit at school too? ;)

This.

No apparently he was amazing

Im on about intelligence

Timlin is a definite "keep" for me - Douglas, Ferry and Timlin would mean we always have a decent starting pair next season - let Prutton go.

I'd keep him. Decent enough at league 1 level let alone league 2.

Would rather keep Timlin than Prutton but only one of them is out of contract, if we can get some blind sods to take Prutton off our hands then keep.

I forgot Timlin can play up front and at left back too.

 I'm with Si Pie...more or less a complete new broom is needed....maybe LJF to get a new contract but bin the rest.

Can there be room for sentiment?

Plus: He's commited to the cause, which many moan that there isn't enough of.
Plus: His spell at Southend suggested he is capable at League Two level.

On the other hand, we have better options in front of him and would free up wages for other positions.

I think he'll stay but only if one of either Douglas, Ferry or Prutton do one.

Can i remind everyone of the CURSE OF TIMLIN. I've lost count of the amount of games that he has come on as a sub and we have conceded a goal within minutes.  ( i haven't actually counted but i remember a few)

He may be a nice chap but he has to go.

How can he bet content with another season as being a bit part player? Seems like a decent bloke and can't fault his effort, but he needs to move on for himself more than anything

Easy money innit
