Okay, we’re starting in Ireland, which I know is going to be a bit of a cliche, but it’s not Stephen Bradley we’re opening with; it’s Larne’s Tiernan Lynch.
Lynch is getting quite a reputation – he took Larne to their first NIFL title last season, and they’re fourth this season, having only lost a single game. They’re third in terms of xG (a metric I’ll be referring to a bit in this section), have the lowest xG conceded and are second in terms of possession.
Lynch’s football has been described as ‘brilliant and expansive‘, and he’s certainly one with a growing reputation.
