I'm sure I saw a flying pig when Sheriden said that...
If it was low flying maybe that's how Grant got the concussion? |

He took a kick to the head in training, or so we are led to believe. Must have been a couple of week sago now so it must have been one hell of a kick, if it happened.
Must say I was a little puzzled that Grant is unavailable due to concussion yet should be angry that he’s not in the team! |

I'll go with the same tactic as Saturday.
Defeat. 0-2

A sequence of LDLDL against The Imps since their return to the league. I see a pattern. Could easily have been LWLWL were it not for a keeper with melted butter in his gloves and some heroic last ditch defending by 9 men. Nothing to lose tonight so might as well have a go. A draw would be a great result. Could be a much tighter game than expected.  Noticed that our centre forward was very much in energy saving mode on Saturday. There is nothing wrong with playing the game at a pace that suits, as long as there is a positive contribution to show for it. Which there was. Not anticipating a fully trickle charged one man counter pressing machine type performance. Just be in the right place for some perambulated poaching when or if the time comes. Or maybe the opposition will suffer the curse of the returning former player for a change, if Payne can hit the target. No drummer tonight and do they still have the air raid siren blaring for their corners? Should play this instead. Beautiful. Unlike our football, although the aesthetics of a couple of two yard tap ins wouldn't be the Pitts by any means.

I got knocked out hitting the tarmac when I was a young teenager, spent 24hrs in hospital under observation and went home with a banging headache and bruised skull. I'm pretty sure I was doing PE the following week. |

I'd suggest that the medical science around concussion and it's treatment has advanced quite a bit since then |

And the recovery period too. It was only six years ago  |

I predicted a 2-0 defeat too, but I thought he would use different tactics, I didn't realise he had a 2-1 tactic in the bag  I loved winning Saturday I had truly forgotten what it felt like but the over all performance and "tactic" was still utterly dire and dull as dishwater at times to watch. Still 7 more of those between now and the end of the season and I will be happy, I will be utterly fed up of watching us play football but ultimately happy. |

Unless Sheridan’s reward for keeping us up is a new contract.

Would question whether Grounds and Broadbent are able to play 2 games in 4 days after being out for so long. If they are, then expect the only changes to be Odimayo for Caddis to add a bit of pace against their attacking threat down our right and Twine for either Payne or more likely Garrick, so playing a 3-5-1-1 with Twine marauding in a number 10 role behind BP. Instructions will be keep it tight for 93 minutes and win it in the final minute of injury time. I expect a comfortable 2-0 loss, conceding a goal in each half.
