Weren’t you writing Evans off last season? Hoole and Gordon are young and have ability, the management team need to keep working with them and help them achieve their potential. Worst case scenario they will be good back up for fullback positions next season. Yes I did you are right Eric… he was blooming awful. This season he has been much much better. Form is temporary. Class is permanent. Glad the club saw that. 😁 |

Personally think Hoole's got more potential than Gordon, although he seems yet another Rovers ex Academy player posters love to hate, I can't see Gordon's game has developed from when he signed for the club, although not sure how easy it is to sign a left footed full back, so perhaps having to potentially sign two this summer is to bigger ask.

From MT's pre match presser it sounds like 1 or 2 players are struggling to be fit for Saturday and there's also concerns about what two long journeys will take out of the players, the fixture list has done us no favours in that regard.

Have we done away with luxury coach trips and made the players walk? |

I sense most level headed fans would accept travel 400+ miles on a coach trip takes more out on players than just sitting at home watching TV. |

I’m surprised the modern player has the energy to get out of bed on a morning with the amount of brainwashing they get about how they should be feeling tired all the time. If a game was immediately preceded by a flight to the other side of the world then I get that it will affect players, a 180 mile coach trip less so, certainly not to justify leaving a player out. |

That's a hell of a number of clean sheets in ALL matches this season.
Could be 20 soon?
A 94th minute headed goal from Josh Grant would be brilliant.
A winning goal would be sweet.

Who said any player was being left out due to the coach trips? Not really sure spending 8 hours in a plane is any worse than spending 8 hours on a coach. |

It's an 8 hour round trip to Fleetwood, although Lincoln is 6 hrs 30 mins at the moment so with a bit of extra Friday traffic that might well be 8 hours as well. |

So 4 nights sleep in their own beds after the journey home from Fleetwood before their next coach trip. The poor little things how can they cope? Not sure what the return journey from Lincoln has to do with anything - isn’t it then another 13 days until the next game? Perhaps they’ll still be suffering at that point 🤣 |

Given I've never played pro football I haven't a scooby if traveling long distances affects a player's game. Probably our Scouse contingent have travelled less miles this week than usual! |

This week they will be looking at Hoole and Gordon and planning accordingly . Lincoln will tear them both apart. I would drop them both … bring Crama in on the right and move Vale to Left back. Jevani to replace Vale further up the pitch . If he goes with Hoole and Gordon we could get Demolished by half time. Keep it tight for 60 minutes and it’s game on. glad you are just a poster and not our manager then. Totally agree with you Claremont; Hoole is absolutely awful, would not be near the first team if Hunt was fit, and as for Gordon, cannot beat his full back, or centre the ball, doesn't like to tackle, continually passes the ball backwards or at best sideways; psst don't disagree with Percy he gets a bit uppity don't you know. |

Fond memories of Lincoln.Not only the very special win there but was stationed at nearby RAF Swinderby in the 70's.Later ran the line there v Bournemouth whose manager,David Webb, blew a gasket at the ref after the game.

Weren't they both signed by your hero? Unfortunately there's not a lot MT can do when they are the only two fit FB's at the club, unless you feel Grant is a better option? |

Hooles excellent progress was set back 12 to 18 months by a manager who thought it time to move a young lad to a new position in a poor defence. Then blame him for it. Standard. |
