He certainly is, we just need to manage his return to regular first team football very carefully and not over play him, we can't rush him.

We have a similar situation with Olli Johnson. He's class too but not played at all yet this season. I hope he will be fit again soon as we desperately need someone to finish the chances we are creating.

 

[Reginald Fodstain]

Which end are you going in?

I'm having a weekend off football before our two 'derbys' next weekend. Rovers and telly don't mix, but hoping we can scrape a result fom the trip to Welling.

Home end, mate's a Chester fan. His dad's away, so I'm using his season ticket. Made it clear I'm strictly neutral, though!

 

[GTFC1979]

Forest Green are easy to beat! We do it all the time

So do we, but then their stewards beat us.........

 

[B2TF]

If our experience is typical, they also sell tickets for half time draws, then don't announce the winning numbers until all the away fans have gone back home. Quite why the police haven't got involved, nobody knows.

Swear we beat you and drew against you last season? Might be wrong but I seem to remember watching us beat you

 

[Luke Imp]

Having two midfielderss with the combined age of 65 playing against Wrexham really isn't a good idea. I can see why people don't like Nolan but we desperately need his mobility in there, otherwise we'll get countered to shreds.

Yep, agreed, which is unfortunate really because he's got to play purely because of that.

The last two seasons, Nolan's been terrific for the first 3 months but so far, he's played the opening games like he usually ends a season.

Hoping that Hawkridge will get at Newton. We know he struggles with pace.

Half right. You beat us at yours, we beat you here. Although on chances created you should have got something here, and vice versa us at yours!

 

[Son of Cod]

Norwood's birthday and back from injury. The commentators are fond of him too, if I remember rightly. Nailed on to score.

 

[Son of Cod]

Absolutely no atmosphere. Sounds like a village fete.

 

[Master D]

Dover v Woking will be on BT Sport, can't wait for that one.

 

[SomeMightShay]

An away day in the Saaarf, i expect nothing but disappointment.

 

[AÐALSTEINN]

Tranmere are shocking on this showing. They will get relegated with Barrow.

 

[Master D]

So obvious that they would score from that mental decision to give a corner there.

 

[Son of Cod]

Missed it
Watched the whole first half, which admittedly got marginally better as it wore on, but to miss the goal is kind of a pisstake haha.

 

[Bluandwite]

Harsh on Welling, been the better side so far.

 

[Pablosammy]

You should see the meltdown on the Tranmere forum. There won't be many of us left, the way people are reacting to this shower...

Hasn't been that bad, a second makes it look a lot rosier. Who really cares if you come out with three points? I haven't been bowled over by Tranmere, but away clean sheets are always a positive and you've gone about the match with a bit of Non-League nous that we lacked in our first season down here.

Glamour tie. It's what the public have been crying out for.

 

[Woodworm]

Tranmere have been horrendous

 

[Luke Imp]

Bush, Sparrow, Hearn and Hawkridge in, Nolan and Power both dropped along with Brown and Robinson (whose not even in the squad. 4 changes and a bit of a shake-up after two poor performances. Looks like a 4-2-4, tbh!

Don't think you'll find too many Imps disagreeing with the decisions made.

Farman, Wood, Waterfall, Bush, Beevers, Stanley, Sparrow, Muldoon, Hawkridge, Rhead, Hearn.

 

[GodsGift]

Ahem.

 

[Master D]

What a strike.

 

[Bluandwite]

Top notch goal that, even if did take the replay for us to actually see it.

 

[Luke Imp]

Ahem.

Go on...

 

[Son of Cod]

Wood, Waterfall, Bush, Beevers, Sparrow, Hawkridge, Rhead...has it been noted that there's a bit of a Bill Oddie theme going on in the Lincoln squad at the moment?

 

[GodsGift]

Go on...

I must be the only Lincoln fan who wasn't calling for Stanley and Sparrow to start together.

 

[SomeMightShay]

Only real shower has been the officials. Allowing Tranmere a phantom corner that they scored from and sending a player off for next to feck all. Is this what people mean when they say 'things even themselves out'?

 

[Luke Imp]

I must be the only Lincoln fan who wasn't calling for Stanley and Sparrow to start together.

I'm assuming they'll be in a '3' (with Hawkridge I imagine).

Agreed with your point r.e. Nolan and mobility but I'm not sure Power is any faster/quicker than Sparrow, tbh.

 

[Master D]

Match winning equaliser.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Garbage officials.

Not a great performance but thought we looked like scoring second half until the red, Welling didn't do much but hoof it up and it was always going to take something like that for them to score.

Judging by our forums, be surprised if Brabin gets more time than past the Grimsby game.
