Lets talk about the Bradford City cup game and the Lincoln City league game

  Drayrtonion, Grehan is well behind Pearson and on last nights showing Flint

Grehan is a very very good center half. Saying he is behind Flint, after seeing him play against Bradford reserves, is a bold call.

Sorry, Gaz, but that wasn't Bradford reserves. Apart from the absence of Pointon and a couple of others that was a strongish team.

Cook, Halliday, Lapslie, Wright, Swan, Humphries, and Leigh all figured at some time.

They desperately wanted to beat us last night, for obvious reasons.

They are not first choice though are they Steve. Some don’t even make the squad. In the same way Ajayi, Jay, Lawlor, Hanlon, Gotts et so are our reserves. It was their second string.

I don't think there's such a thing as a second string. It's a squad game these days, and is dependant on many factors, such as injuries, fitness, and form.

All of the players I mentioned have played against us in league games over the last 12 months.

They played last night because they are not first choice. Is our second string as good as our best starting XI (subjective for one or two spots I know)? It’s just not is it.
