Jordan Smith a sub for Mansfield again tonight.

Oh dear.

That’s not a good sign, any suggestion why?

[the jock]

He's just dropped they lost 3 games in a row. He was dropped last week too

[Username]

That’s worrying, I thought he would be an ever present for the remainder of the season.

[Kranky]

He had a howler the other week and hasn't played since

Me too. I had high hopes of him coming back full of confidence and challenging for the number one jersey with us next season.

The Mansfield keeper was pretty agricultural last night so if he's keeping Smith out the team then thats worrying.

Agreed - the penalty he gave away was terrible.

Mansfield have dropped points.  Maybe that's part of the reason why.

And they can't afford to if they want to keep in the autospots.

SA.

It was the first time in a while I've watched a game below Championship level. I was suprised at the quality, or rather lack of quality. I thought Lincoln were trying to play a more sophisticated game but didn't have the players to execute it. Mansfield had the odd touch of quality but not necessarily the organisation.

Grant looked like a show pony wanting to be this talented creative influence but failed. I honestly thought he was better than he is. Walker didn't really do much either to be honest. He badly missed a half chance but that was pretty much it. Both of them looked a million miles off the standard that would be required in the Championship.

TW is definitely worth persisting with.

He is still young and developing physically.

It isn’t easy scoring the amount he has at L2 level, he doesn’t get quality chances laid on a plate at that level.Your movement needs to be good.

His XG ratio (expected goals based on opportunity) is in the top 6 out of all leagues.

Out of contract in summer so not sure where we will stand and if he will extend his deal.

IMO he can be a good level championship striker

I don’t see TW being ready for the Championship next season so how long do we wait?

Jorge should not have had his contract extended last time, he may well make it at some point but I can’t see that happening soon.
