Cambridge and Halifax will be resting key players. So should we at Braintree, learn from what Newport did last season.  Braintree still have a chance of a playoff spot so they will really be going for it on Saturday.

Obviously we don't risk Pearson as a booking will rule him out of all three play off games. Kerr and Neilsen should be rested. As the player most likely to score, Hannah should be not be risked either.

I just hope that Disley and Rodders are fit in time. No point rushing either of them back against Braintree either.

If Braintree win and Gateshead slip up, we might well be playing Braintree in the play offs.

I would not mind if we finished 5th,

Play Cambridge in the semi finals ( who are on a poor run )

I think we can get our revenge and play Halifax or Gateshead at Wembley.

What date is the first playoff leg? If we have enough resting time then why not play a strong team?


Because we don't want to pick up injuries or suspensions to key players in a meaningless game.

I suspect that Cambridge have been resting key players for the last few games because they guaranteed their play off spot ages ago. So I wouldn't read too much into their current form.

Play a weakened team against braintree and practically rest from 1 to 11, a bit like newport last season.

Tbh I would rather finish 5 th and play cambridge anyway.

Then gateshead but least I would like is halifax, I would not like that at all.

BT sports saying not, they're wrong. We are definitely in the playoffs.


Lincoln fans still working it out too...

It's getting that momentum though Ron going into the playoffs, i would rest Pearson next week but put out the strongest 11 and go for it, looks like Hannah will play a key part.


Grimsby and proud!
