With 3 games in 7 days, dare I suggest there may be an element of tinkering in the duos plans (and depending on the opposition) anyway ?
Not saying it necessarily SHOULD happen but it's hard to imagine a packed schedule won't have any effect at all come New Years day.
I may be wrong and sure others won't agree but I see the Lincoln as the bigger game(s) (and possibly more winnable one(s) ?) than Mansfield. So I wonder if there's case for some tinkering at Mansfield that goes further than right back. Especially (for me) if we could bag the 3 points at Lincoln prior to the arguably important Lincoln home game on New Years day. If we can't win at Lincoln then perhaps there may be changes anyway ?
Just think if we could get 6 pts+ from 9 and perhaps get a few others e.g. Miller, Artus, Soares, Rankine, Southwell, Thanoj involved before another yet another "3 games in 8 days" period starting 5th Jan then I'd be more than happy !
If new players come in/back then great, just very slightly concerned the likes of e.g. Artus might be asked to come in and do a job from out of the cold later if they don't. So just wonder if a "come and break us down and we'll hit you on the break and try to nick the win" job with slightly different personnel could be an option at Mansfield.
