Lincoln City manager Chris Cohen outlines the team's strategy for a double game day, featuring a pre-season friendly against Doncaster Rovers and a match against Barnsley at Oakwell. The Imps will play Doncaster Rovers tomorrow afternoon in a pre-season friendly, before visiting Oakwell to play Barnsley in the early evening. Two games in a day is certainly unique, and the matches have been planned to give as many players as possible 90 minutes. With Andrei Coubiș available to feature, we can put out a couple of strong sides, even if they will be peppered with younger players. Donald Iyama and Charlie Parks have had plenty of minutes over the summer, while trialist Matt Smith is also expected to feature. In the aftermath of the 5-1 defeat at Blundell Park in midweek, Chris Cohen outlined the strategy the coaching staff will employ across the two matches. “We’ll fill the bench with some younger players, some youth players and some of the players that you saw around the squad today who didn’t get many minutes,” he said in his post-match interview. “We’ll have two teams go to two different venues. Me and Tom, the coaching staff and the rest of the group will go to both games.”
