Very promising result and nice that a new formation gets a good run out so perhaps we are going wing backs after all.

Very pleasing game overall. Thought we were the better team overall though I’m not sure how strong the Scunny line up was and they didn’t look interested until they went 1-0 down.
We got the ball in to very decent areas without creating many clear cut chances. I liked the look of 5-3-2. I have literally no idea what our strongest 11 is, such is the squad depth. Probably the strongest squad I’ve ever seen at lincoln (pre-season at least). Just hope the Cowleys know! Don’t want to be chopping and changing the formation too much.
I thought McCartan was excellent. So calm on the ball and linked the play excellently.
Slightly surprised Luque didn’t get game time if he’s still on trial? Sounds like we’re probably signing him?
Biggest disappointment was probably Akinde. Not sure what I was expecting, but, I Thought he looked off the pace and struggled to win headers and get involved in the game. Rheady on the other hand looked quality, he won his headers well and linked up play. He’ll play a big part this season.
Should be a good season ahead!

Training - against my religion ??. Not too bad as its only a 10pm to midnight stretch. Its the midweek evening games that get me - 3:45 in the morning ??.

As I said a day or two ago, I think it will be a few weeks until we see the best out of Akinde.

DC said they are still weighing up the options. Will play against Derby.

All accounts seem to suggest Akinde is short of match fitness & those figures seem to bear it out, so I think it will be two or three games in before we start to see the full Akinde Magic. Could be exciting if he starts hitting the net, plus Andrade, plus McCartan, plus Greeny, plus Rheady. So many options.

Sounded to me ,listening to DC after the game interview he is as good as signed up! IMO

so we are still weighing up our options. how long does it take to judge a player's quality?
from the player's point of view, he has spent the whole of pre-season on trial, and been on tour. in so doing he has been prevented from going anywhere else on trial. imo, it doesn't look good for our club if we now send him back to heybridge after tuesday... with just a week before the window closes. i hope the player agreed to all this, and didn't want to trial at, or sign for any other club.
