Lee Frecklington
It won’t happen. You know it, I know it and sadly, Freck knows it too. Lee Frecklinton, a veteran of Championship football, won’t play in midfield tomorrow. It’s a crying shame and in my opinion he’s certainly cut out for the role and still has plenty to offer.
In my opinion, a fit and functioning Lee Frecklington is as good an option as we have. He’s not played for a bit which leaves him here at three in my list, but he would be higher up if he had a few games under his belt.
I’m not going into his situation, I did that here and don’t want to labour on a point, but in terms of replacements for Joe Morrell, in my eyes, Freck should be considered. However, that is the opinion of a man who doesn’t witness training every day, doesn’t set the tactics and isn’t paid to run the club. Michael Appleton is the man in charge and it is his choice not to include Freck, which I guess as a fan we have to respect.
I’d go for Ellis too, but what if Bozzie’s fit? Where would we fit him in? Surely not alongside another holding midfielder even though we are away, where a point would be acceptable. Dropping Shacks or Cian would be the other option. Comforting to see that we have a full and fit squad from which to choose.
MA certaily going in the right direction, it takes time folk.
I would consider only three options.
1.Edun, natural choice there with Melbourne going back to LB.
2.Grant as in my eyes he would be better as CM than winger. Only difference is I would go with Scully on the wing instead of ,,Zack attack” ?.
3. Ellis who has cool head, quite few senior games under his belt for a young player and would be playing alongside experienced Bridcutt which may work nicely. Only trouble I can see is he did not play for a while now.
Yawn, yawn , yawn…. lets turn this place into a Diana dating site. There must be thousands of Imps males dying to hook up with her…..NOT!!
Dating site lol Last thing I need but hey thanks very nice of you.
I bet you could do with one …..
My choice would be Edun. with Melbourne returning at left back ( I think Appleton said either pre or post-match he’d only been left out against Milton Keynes because of setting up against that particular opposition). However, I strongly suspect it will be Coventry. I thought he looked a good player against Shrewsbury but hasn’t done as well since. But I agree about Chapman and that he could benefit from being alongside Bridcutt. He would also add a bit of height to the team as well, especially if Edun was left back.
