Imperative we keep 11 men on the pitch to-day, a red card could damage us more than Maguire's chicanery.
Oxford v Ipswich Portsmouth v Wycombe Two draws would be good results providing we get a win, no matter how it comes. I'm no longer interested in performances ... ... the players have learned how to keep going when the opposition are tiring and settling for a point. That's a good lesson and one that got Keane promotion.
I'm not totally convinced that Maquire will have the same effect on the match as he did at the SOL. As we all saw he wanted to shove Johnson's attitude to him down his throat and he did that in spades, whether he can get anywhere near that kind of performance again remains to be seen
I've listened to the preview podcasts where's they've spoken to Lincoln supporters and even they are not totally convinced by Maquire, the words 1 good game in 5 had been mentioned. Now I wonder where we've seen that before........?
If he plays as well as he did at the SOL you'd have to ask what Lincoln are paying him for in the other games.
Really suprised no Matete. They battered us on the counter at our place. Matete has completely changed our defensive capability when we lose the ball. Seems very odd to me, particularly with Evans form. Delighted to see Dan back in though.
