Hakeeb Adelakun
After last week’s press conference, I proclaimed that Haks was on his way back, and 180 minutes in the final two matches could rejuvenate him. Here we are, one week on, and the opposite is true. He didn’t get a kick against Accrington, and that’s got to be a worry for the former Scunthorpe man. Ok, injuries meant we couldn’t shake it up later on, which may have been his cue, but if he has an Imps future he will surely get a runout in a dead rubber, at home, against the team with the highest expected goals against, and the second-highest actual goals conceded. Seriously, if he’s on the bench again, then that’s a pretty strong message that any team wanting a winger this summer as a project need look no further.
I really have enjoyed reading your comments week after week Gary, even the exasperating “played well but lost” theme of so many of them. All I ask is that Michael tries to get a good balance of age and experience and youthful ability for next season. Hard, I appreciate, with only what he can find stuffed down the back of the couch. I’ll settle for a safe mid-table end to next season with a few really good home performances on the way. Oh, and please lads, can we have a good win on Saturday against Crewe? Send us home (or to the pub) feeling good, not full of foreboding. Don’t let us down.
