Match Thread: Shrewsbury Town v Lincoln City

Can see JJ playing 10 or wide rather than out and out striker

Possibly the most disappointing signing of the season. So much ability but a headless chicken.

Not true at all. He was fantastic at the start of the season. He’s a pain for defenses with his constant running and pressing. Yes he needs a cooler head in their box but are you really saying he’s worse than Coker?

I hope we see a lot more of Payne with a bit more technical guidance that Appleton can bring.

If you read the info on his signing. Other clubs wanted him in that roll but they got turned down. So its probably going to be the other way around.

Maybe some new partners will bring out the best in him, too. New faces can mean new formations!

Anderson injured.

 

[DEEPING IMP]

Harry injured.

 

[HitherImp]

Anderson injured.

Another set of speculation put to rest, at least for today.....

I did think that until I saw Arteta's reasoning for him coming to Lincoln. Basically he said there were several other clubs including Championship that wanted him on loan but they were immediately dismissed on the grounds those clubs wanted to play him as a 10 or out wide. He has come to us on the understanding he is an out and out central striker.

Wouldn't have expected Anderson to be leaving but not O'Connor and Payne is an interesting one, especially the latter as he's had no history of an injury in his time here.

A bit harsh, there's definitely a good player in there and I hope Appleton will work with him, and he regains confidence.

A very young bench.

 

[hulloutpost]

Coventry will play the O'Connor role and it may simply be that as MOC has been semi injured he needs the rest.

 

[Chesterimp]

3 games in a week, beefed up squad, sensible to use it. Edun lookstaller than Payne, but not by much!

 

[hulloutpost]

A very young bench.

That bench could contain about 5 of the regular starting 11 next season.

New squad numbers - interesting they have given Conor Coventry (CC) the same number 20 as Callum Connolly (CC):

It's obviously an EFL rule....all CCs must be No20. Unless you're Bolton in which case continue to ignore all rules.

A very young bench.

You can always count the tree rings to be certain of that...

Confused the stadium announcer who thinks Connolly is playing - hes also listed in the programme but that's more understandable

 

[nlondonimp]

bringing them all in to the 18 is a good sign that they are better than what we have. which was what he said he would do

On the team sheet as well so it's probably being read from that.
