Screech & Maddog To Raid The Boro

19 March 2011 08:18
Its the LCM Sinciless Super Saturday - Stevenage & Imps Teams & Schemes.   A new ground for diehard Imps fans will see perhaps 400 plus travel to Stevenage Borough with questions ringing in our ears. A potential ground sale is one thing but a new ground always sees a good turnout with curiosity too much for any Imp at the best of times.  Then, you should add to the mix, two starts, for two popular and hungry front men one Mad dog McCallum and Screech a promising sounding chap.   So to The Teams & Schemes Stevenage Borough 4-4-2 Left back Laird and centre-back Ashton are back and Bridges gets the nod in centre midfield. Midfielder Joel Byrom and front men Atieno and Beardsley are both pushing for starts following their cameos against Oxford on Tuesday. Borough will be hoping to secure their fourth win in six league games. Taylor  Henry Ashton Roberts Laird Wilson Bridges Bostwick Winn Reid Charles   Lincoln City 4-4-2 The Imps will give Scott Spencer his first start of the season and a return for McCallum suggesting some hunger, desire and fireworks on the Imp left.  Carayol should continue on the right although the Imps have faced up with Howells  in training this week due to his all round midfield capabilities.

That was little to write home about as 3200 saw the visitors come away with a 1-0 Sincil smash & grab in a scrappy game of few chances. With the defence rooted to the spot at a long throw Holroyd rifled home from eight yards.

Neil: Having written this and taken a double dose of the positive pills after a week of illness the Imps will prove the cure - 2-1 Imps with Screech to bag the winner.
