Pollock has not started a game of league football. He is 17 years old. You dont sign a player from a higher division and not play him. Pollock is young and has much to learn. Typical town fan in that there is this bias towards town youth. It was the right call to play Luke Waterfall.
Pollock has just kept a clean sheet against a league one side earlier this week, had a very impressive preseason and impressed last season when unexpectedly thrown on to defend a single goal lead with 10 men against Exeter. If you ignore his age, which imo is utterly irrelevant, his performances do not warrant being dropped in favour of an unproven new signing who has had no time to settle in and was ultimately directly responsible for forest green's winner today.

I must of tuned in when they was sorting out Smudgers microphones cos the lead guy was hardly saying anything at all - hence my this shocking commentary post - but it all got better once the technical issues were sorted out
Listened to the game while out on a walk - yeh must admit it did have that same old town feel to it especially going behind after being on top - but on any other day we could of scored a couple at least - the big lad Hanson with the best of the chances - one he stretched for and another he headed just wide from Charlie’s cross - so at least we are creating just a bit disappointing we didn’t get something from a game we perhaps didn’t deserve to lose

Pollock shouldn't have been dropped for a player we signed 48 hours ago who was subsequently directly responsible for FGR's winner. Poor management.
Waterfall had at least two attempts to score a goal, had he have taken them we would have won, would Pollcock have been in those positions

Well..... fking awful spectacle unless you happen to be Alan Hansen...
we clearly went with a plan to play a frustrating game, kept our shape and disicpline very well without the ball and let Forest Green pass it to death in pretty harmless areas....in possession we were turgid, within a couple of touches we had lost it by punting it blindly up the pitch....a couple of almost half chances when the ball fell in the box off Hanson but no real effort on goal by either side in the first half. Second half FGR passed it with a bit more purpose and we seemed to drop slightly deeper, still contained them very well though and before they scored a couple of more half chances for Hanson. They scored from being first to the second ball when Waterfall blocked the initial cross , Macca no chance really. Out of possession i think the players deserve credit and 9.5 out of 10 as we nullified FGR , with the ball we deserve 1 out of 10, awful to watch and add to that the ref who was so eager to blow his whistle and make it such a stop start game it was a dire watch overall.
Off to find my eye bleach.

Unproven new signing! He played over 40 games for Shrewsbury in League 1 last season. Your argument is ridiculous.

zero lack of creativity, midfield ponderous and clueless.

Ask a Shrewsbury supporter what they thought about his performances for them last season and get back to me. Think you'll find they weren't exactly massive fans

Ask a lincoln fan what they thought of Nolan. Ask Podge’s old clubs what they thought i could go on. Get over yourself ffs you wanted someone elses opinion you got it. Pollock didnt play waterfall did. And it was the right call no matter how much you witter on about it

Daft statement..he wasn't at fault for their goal, he happened to clear with a decent header that unfortunately landed at their players feet... The bloke won promotion with Lincoln and was a mainstay with the shrews, even his manager their said he was integral part of the squad... The forum is about opinions not just yours ..
