Morgan Rogers | Signed by Middlesbrough

Just saw he got 2 assists in their current match.

That's true, would be nice for them to go up and just keep Rogers there.

Maybe we can convince them to take another loanee also, since this has worked out so well. Perhaps Palmer on his opposite flank.

Just checked and he won the pen AND the free kick that led to the other 2 goals, so had a hand in all 4 goals. Impressive debut season. Lincoln's run in doesn't look bad so they should be making the playoffs at least.

Edit: damn, I should have checked the remaining posts before replying :(
 
This loan appears to be going very well. First saw him play against us for West Brom in the Youth Cup and he looked lazy. This continued after he joined us. However, this move seems to have given him a reality check and, hopefully, he might now be in a position to achieve his full potential.
 
Biased because I'm from Lincoln but I think another season with the Imps will do him a world of good, no matter what division it ends up being in. I actually think it would be more beneficial for him if it's in League 1 as Lincoln are a possession based side under Appleton which suits his game, things will change if they end up in the Championship.

Technically he's fantastic and too good for the level he's playing at but he still has a lot of developing to do in other parts of his game.

Appleton is great with younger players and with the way he wants his teams to play, I think a relationship between the two clubs could be a win/win!

That being said, I think a player like Delap joining Lincoln would be great for them but not for City. I think he needs a Championship move as a minimum if he's not going to be in our first team plans next season. Palmer would be a good shout though!

Agree,and i think Nmecha needs a similar loan to see the best of him too.

There's a decent chance they are in the championship next season! They should be in the play-offs, 4 point cushion and 2 games in hand over 7th place Oxford.

Automatic promotion is not out of the question either - They're 9 points behind Peterborough, but with a game in hand and they play each other, so never say never.

I was wondering about how Lincoln play earlier as according to the BBC match report, Lincoln had just 35% possession at home against a mid table side in MK Dons. Is that a typo maybe?

Maybe I used the wrong word with possession based but they try and get the ball on the deck, play decent football and use wingers high and wide. Surprised its as low as that though to be honest.

Just checked and they've averaged just under 51% possession this season which is decent considering some of the big clubs in the league.

Potentially but not many around the place are confident! They've been punching above their weight all season and injuries/covid since January has really destroyed them. The recent form has been fairly poor. Be great if they manage it but I doubt it.
 
Just scored again with a diving header away at Burton, who have been revitalised since Jimmy Floyd returned

edit: Sky Sports News got it wrong, was another fella

Nice to see Morgan doing so well, hopefully another season with Lincoln next year. The football seems to really suit his style of play and his work rate has improved massively!
 
Play off semi final first leg v Sunderland on Wednesday next week. Former blue Brandon Barker likely to line up for Oxford (on loan from Rangers) v Blackpool on the Tuesday
