Having read all the reports from those who were actually at the game, those reports only confirm a little of what I've suspected for the last couple of weeks.....
Obviously without being at the game today, I'm relying on what those reporting what they saw at Macc to be a true reflection.....
In my opinion....
Fatigue may be taking it's toll, and Symes didn't look at his sharpest against the Shrimps last Sat... As for Miles, I've never been his greatest fan, however his performance against Morecambe last week was Abject to say the least....To give him the captain's armband last week was a strange decision, as I think there are more obvious candidates for that role ( when Proccy is absent ) and it's been blatently obvious since day one, that whilst Miles has undoubted ability (at times ) his work ethic sadly lacks.
Macc away will probably " seem like a defeat " as, in the bigger picture, in order to get into play offs and compete at the upper echelons of League Two, games like this are " must win ".
That said, what a contrast to the last couple of years where the "must win " element in this fixture has been for a totally different reason !!! We've still 20 games to play and an awful lot of the next 10 at home, so personally I'd take any sort of positive result away and hope that we can make the home games count.
Personal opinion, I'd give Symes a rest, placing him on the bench at Lincoln and give Billy Kee a starting berth, I'd also drop Miles & give Turner a run ( if fully fit ).
Here's hoping for three points at Lincoln on Tuesday !!!!
