Match Thread: Lincoln City v Peterborough United

Presume that means Walsh and Hopper are the ones that have Covid.

Looking forward to seeing Rogers off the bench.

Thanks and sorted !!

 

[Rob the Imp]

No Ward for them - good for us. (Anyone else surprised at how well he's gone on to do after his loan spell with us?)

 

[Impish]

I might have been tempted to start with Rogers in the Hopper role, but guess he has only been here 5 minutes. Will be interesting to see if he gets some minutes today and how we cope without the ball sticking up top without Tom.

 

[Rob the Imp]

Shame Hopper is missing out - which of our front three will take on that role?

 

[Imprest 1]

Think Hopper will be missed... UTI

 

[Luke Imp]

No Theo either, who'd presumably have made the bench?

 

[Chesterimp]

My fear was Grant would be one of those missing, so pleased to see he's ok. Will miss Walsh, Hopper and Harry but still a strong starting line up with options off the bench

 

[Rasenimp]

Think Hopper is a miss in a game where we might face a press and occasionally want to get up field quicker. Scully hopefully at his best today

 

[Chesterimp]

No Theo either, who'd presumably have made the bench?

Still struggling with injury, or a positive test? Not really happened for him so far, could do with a game on Tuesday.

 

[Rasenimp]

No Theo either, who'd presumably have made the bench?

Thought he might be a loan out candidate especially with Rogers arrival

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Shame Hopper is missing out - which of our front three will take on that role?

Probably Scully

 

[nlondonimp]

Walsh is well covered by Jackson, but hopper will be missed in a game like this.

Although it is the relegation contenders we have found tough recently - Shrewsbury, Wigan, Sunderland.

If you can't beat pub teams like those, you can't win the league.

 

[Clive Ford is back]

No Ward for them - good for us. (Anyone else surprised at how well he's gone on to do after his loan spell with us?)

No, he was a good player here, we didn't use him enough.

 

[Imp13]

Probably Scully

Brennan has played centrally more recently but you could well be right.

 

[nlondonimp]

Lewis can’t get a game even when we only have 17. Think he is being saved to go out on loan again... not going to play again for us is he.

 

[sedgleyimp]

Morning all. Looking forward to this one. Always good games against Posh. Hopper will be a miss but I can see that front three interchanging quite a bit to upset their defence, then Rogers to get half an hour come second half.

From the show reels I have seen of him, he tends to play on the left side of midfield and come inside, rather than play as a centre-forward. I think that is why we see Scully taking over from Hopper - he is the only natural centre-forward we have fit.
