Manning said he'd picked up an injury.I have absolutely no idea how we are going to do! I am a bit concerned about the Negru situation I was hoping LM was the sort of manager who didnt fall out with players hopefully that is not the situation here. Would also like Smyth to be given another opportunity. COYY
We always have a chance iam hoping for a 3-0 win ,but Lincoln quite often rurn us over.
Not to mention that the alternatives don't exactly exciteI'm happy to stick with Harris, obviously he is desperate for a goal but he never goes missing and played a big part in salvaging a point at the weekend. Thought Saturday he was a lot more involved than in previous games, he (and the players around him) obviously need time. I think he will come good. (Agreed though we need another option up top).
I didn't go on Saturday, but most of what I have heard, he had a decent game , helping to create both goals.I'm happy to stick with Harris, obviously he is desperate for a goal but he never goes missing and played a big part in salvaging a point at the weekend.

I have a notion that Harris just needs to see one go in and he'll regain the confidence to keep on putting them in the net. That robbed opportunity on Saturday might have been the one, thanks to that prat SS, Harris probably feels the footballing Gods are against him!Not to mention that the alternatives don't exactly excite
Would like to see us move to a 3-4-1-2.
Negru Moore Brown
(Mills/Stevens) Brannagan. McGuane Leigh
Ruben
Bodin Harris
That's our strongest lineup and would take some pressure off Harris with a front 2. Bodin has proved that he is capable of playing well up top. Leigh can drop back if needed to make it a 4.
Negru needs to come back in, no idea why he was dropped when playing well. We're shipping lots of cheap goals and that needs to stop.
McEachran and Long need to come out of the starting squad for now. Neither have shown they are capable of keeping up with Manning's style of play in recent games, and have consistently slowed the attack down when there are forward options available, even when we're chasing the game.
I don't think Long did anything wrong on Saturday, he's quickly becoming a scapegoat of the team. I also thought Bodin was one of our better players on Saturday, the tempo certainly dropped when he was subbed.Based on individual performances Long, Stevens, Bodin, McEachran and Harris should all miss out after Saturday. Obviously one of Long or Stevens will survive as we have no other option but the other three will be lucky. Harris, as usual, has no competition for his place so I suspect he can carry on missing chance after chance but will be safe until January at least. Rodrigues, although poor on Saturday, has done enough to keep his place. Brannagan back in, a change or two in the defence and freshen it up out wide.
