Match Thread: Wigan Athletic v Lincoln City

[Luke Imp]

Steve Evans picks up his 6th booking of the season. Only four away from a two match suspension.

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Not another one Did he say what his injury was?

Calf I think. We heard about this a week or so ago

 

[German Imp]

No, I think Johnson in the Grant role,
Scully in the Johnson role and Grant in the Scully role. That would leave McGrandles in the Bridcutt role and Montsma in the Walsh role, providing Poole takes the Eyoma role.
Hopefully leaving Palmer to roll the ball to Edun in his usual role.

No, I was over Victor and Victor was over

He's in the Rogers role, which is very confusing for the poor lad.

Is anyone else’s audio commentary sound like a monsoon sound effect cd? I am finding it strangely calming

 

[simes69]

Not as bad as feared for Harry then. Hopefully the three weeks off will enable a fully fit and refreshed Harry to tear up the last 12 games or so.

 

[Sincilbanks]

MA going for it today, just the one midfielder in McGrandles you would describe as a "ball winner"

 

[Skip155]

Given the position we're in, the priority is to play the strongest teams regardless of them being ours or not. You don't use the loan market as well as we have this season to then change tact at the halfway stage.

Long term it needs to be the case that we're not too reliant on loan players (not saying TJ should play today, he's probably been rested but I certainly don't anticipate Poole suddenly becoming our first choice RB this season).

I guess TJ becomes third choice CB so it might be a case of rotating him in there and for a period at least Poole might become first choice RB.

 

[PerthImp]

Greetings all. Very strong attacking side and a strong bench so hopefully we’ll put Wigan to the sword today , as long as they don’t take it for granted

"done his groin" reported here... ouch

If your talking about iFollow the commentary (audio) only starts just o before KO.

If your talking about BBC radio Lincs, they're in the foyer of the station.

 

[bristolimp]

It’s ifollower - thanks!

I hope first choice is assessed for all of them, on a game by game basis

 

[PerthImp]

Scully in the Johnson role and Grant in the Scully role. That would leave McGrandles in the Bridcutt role and Montsma in the Walsh role, providing Poole takes the Eyoma role.

Yes, but whose filling the bread roll ?

Sorry Plumbob - you beat me to it

Davidimp posted this on the MApaper talk thread.

Michael Appleton not at the game for personal reasons apparently.

Hmm. Might be a worry (for us).

 

[Spinimp]

The pitch does at least look in good condition. Hopefully we won't see many/any more quagmire pitches before seasons end.

 

[simes69]

Hmm. Might be a worry (for us).

See Jules and our own Chairman rubbishing this report!

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Home commentary on now.

 

[Davidimp]

The wigan guy on Lincoln city live seems to rate his players highly.

Sounds like they should be 10 points clear, pity their is as leaky as a sieve!

 

[bristolimp]

I suspect Jon Nolan will be at Ipswich longer then Lambert.

sounds like a dead man walking

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Hmm. Might be a worry (for us).

He strangely didn't mention not being there when talking to Michael Hortin at 12 o'clock
