…Fink plays!With a midfield of leahy, Scowan, Morley. And Harris wide ( Duff, going negative away from home, shock).If weve all watched the Fink clips, he needs people to link with. Who is breaking the lines?Why wouldnt you play Henderson over Leahy?Fink will be isolated, we will put long balls.Already see it laid out.

Yep anyone would think Duff did that on purpose

@chris

It’s his first start for a year

Totally respect that. But he’s been ‘fit’ for two months now. In every cameo he’s played very badly by his usual standards. Again today he looked miles off it before I switched off. Would be silly to not consider this over summer. Hurts me to say it as he’s my favourite player.

Got to say, Lincoln look like a) a team, and b) a team of winners.

He was excellent last week.

Scowan is dead on his feet. Get Hendeson on, and Vidigal for Harris.

Lincoln are showing why they have comfortably ended up as L1 champions

Indeed. Been great this season haven’t they? If only we could have come up with the same season plan as the Imps. Data driven player acquisition from up to date software program, supported by coaches with proven track records backed by American financial muscle. We can only dream..

They backed Skubala through an iffy season… should we have done it with Dodds?!!!

I kid

[Malone]

If only we’d followed the exact methods the team who won the title did!!

Ridiculous from us not to have done so.

[Vital]

Fink playing like a competition winner. We really got mugged there.

I think Fink has done ok other than fluffing his lines earlier with sight of goal

Yep, hes played as a CF, putting himself around, trying to disrupt, at times succeeding. Messed his chance, but hasnt had much else to work with.

An expensive striker “played as a CF” is now being used as a positive?

taking off Fink off at 1st opportunity…Duff i want you gone

I don’t think you can expect someone who last started a game many months ago to last longer than 70 minutes, can you?

[Malone]

Back in the game!!

Not overly a positive. But, i think hes done what you would expect a CF to do, he missed the chance, but has probably played mo worse than Nathan Lowe in many of his starts. He has been criticised for not getting stuck in at times, and that can’t be levelled this game.

I still not sure hes a fit to us, but I dont think hes a bad player.

[Midlander]

Anyway we’re going to win this now…

We must start him next week. Makes no sense not to.

Was that the one he screwed into the side netting, or do you mean the fresh air shot in front of goal.

Not fluffing chances is a prerequisite of being a striker.

[FromeBlue]

I’ve always thought Skura looked like a really good player but maybe our last few managers knew better.
Nope, Skura is a really good player.
