Lonergan or Bodan for the next game?

Bogdan for me

Lonergan 100%.

It has to be Lonners.

Like everyone else (apart from Hipster) Lonergan, but like most of us I suspect Dougie may well bring Bogdan back.

I don't mind. We have 2 decent goalies and I trust the manager will do what he deems to be right. Dougie prepares thoroughly for games plus he is close enough to the players to know their state of mind. I am starting to have faith in him.

I'd feel more confident with Lonergan in goal.That said, if he makes one howler in his next appearance, I fully expect everyone to be crying for Bogdan to return.

I would stick with Longergan, however I can't see Dougie dropping Bogdan now he is back from injury, he has been the number 1 keeper for most of the season I can't see that changing.

Has to be Longergan. We can't have asked for anymore from him. He's also got loads of experience and he seems to bring a calmer vibe to our back line. He definitely seems allot more organised too.

It has to be lonerga for me. Hes looked a lot more solid and communicates well. Wouldnt surprise me if bogdan came back in. Hopefully though it could give bogdan a kick up the back side and show hes got a worthy challenger for his place.

You're not the Manager though.

It had to be you didn't it. Care to explain. Is it just so you can look good in front of Doug tomorrow?

He likes to be different.

Or will we?

Lonergan for me please.

Not much point if Bogdan pulls off a world class save one minute if he spills the ball at the feet of a striker two yards out the next.

Trust me, Hipster will be nowhere near Dougie tomorrow. Unless Dougie is missing the game to attend a meeting of ABA.

I trust they will.

But come on Hips, please tell us why you think Bogdan is the better choice?

Freedman said: “It’s not a big decision (recalling Bogdan). Decisions have to be made for the best of the team,” he said. “Everyone is pushing everyone. Everyone is setting higher standards. It is an easy decision not a hard one.”

Such is the analysis of each player during a weekday at Euxton that even the number of hours he has slept could have a bearing on his place in the team.

That could go some way to explaining the relative lack of starts for Craig Davies – a new father – in recent weeks.

Freedman is intent on keeping his players at their peak in the crucial final stretch of the campaign, even if he has to make decisions that prove unpopular with the supporters.

“I would never pick a side just because it won last Saturday,” he said. “That has given us that momentum.

“We communicate to the players, they tell us how they feel. If they are sleeping right, if there is muscle soreness; you put that all into the pot and if you can see someone has got good scores and they are training well, it’s up to me to make decisions from that “You are never out of the team. I am going to pick a team to beat Ipswich after looking at all the bits of information.

“We need to get more balance in the squad to give us different options.

“But if you train properly and act responsibly around the place then you will get a chance of playing if I feel it is the right team.”
