Former Premier League referee Mike Dean says he used to set himself mini-challenges during matches "as a laugh". Appearing on Jamie Vardy's podcast, Dean said he would see how long he could go without blowing his whistle, or stay inside the centre circle. "We used to say 'we'll kick off now. Right, see how long we can go without blowing a whistle'," Dean said. "I've done that a few times in the Premier League, before VAR obviously - went 20, 25 minutes without blowing a whistle. That's rather interesting. I wonder if he was indulging in one of his little mini games whilst being a part of the refereeing in both 9-nils we suffered.

Think I'd bench Leo & Bragg, and give JWP a starting birth for this one. Lincoln love a set piece. They are going to be all up in our grill from minute one. Need to show fight here, not just flashes of skill. This will not be easy.

He would have faired far better here. But alas, it wasn't to be.......

On the flip side, if we'd kept Ross Stewart we'd be in the same boat. Missing again tonight.

This game needs a JWP. Been waiting years to say that.

Jesus, they are in nightmare territory.

I'm concerned. I've got a good feeling about this game.

The King is dead, long live the King.

Its done. Good, we get to move on now.

I wonder if this will be a running theme this season.

I hope this is the second best second coming in a couple thousand years. Please please please

I'll be very happy if we can win today. There's some quick fire games coming round the corner, and to be out of the points deficit would be very encouraging entering this period.

Oh no. This never ends well.......

The last two years would have been very painful for JWP. I think this return will ignite a hunger in him, that will benefit us greatly. His experience and understanding also should not be underestimated. At a time we are so clearly lacking on a few crucial elements, adding him to the squad is a massive bonus. And as s side note, what a dreadful football week, right up until his announcement. I really needed that. Welcome back, my favourite son in law.

I've got a good feeling about this. And that is highly unusual.
