What the Managers have to say...

Last updated : 11 April 2007 By Gary Moss

A winless weekend for Lincoln City ended with a transfer request from their skipper Paul Morgan.


The centre-back who has been at the Imps since 2001 is likely to

Morgan...departing skipper?
leave Sincil Bank in the summer because of personal reasons.


Head Coach John Schofield admits he will be sad to see his captain leave not least as he believes there is another solution to Morgan's situation.


The Imps chief said: "I've had a meeting with Paul and I understand his situation and why he wants to leave, but that's not to say I agree with it."


Swindon
Town
's Paul Sturrock now feels his Robin's are favourites to clinch an automatic promotion spot. After collecting four points over the weekend, Swindon occupy third in the table, a position Sturrock believes his side can remain.


As the season draws to a close, the boss hopes his team won't fall short in his first season in charge.

"I hope we can get a few results over the next couple of games which will enable us to finish it off.

"It's in our hands with a six-point gap over the side in fourth place in the table and we must now win at Bury.

Trollope...Getting the best from Rovers
Bristol Rovers boss Paul Trollope is delighted with his side taking a maximum six points over the Easter weekend. Back to back wins lifts the Pirate's up to ninth in the division, on the brink of breaking into the play-off places.

Trollope told the BBC: "We knew going into this period that we needed maximum points, or at least four, so to come out with six points is something we're delighted with."

Defeats to Macclesfield and Notts leave Wrexham dangling close to relegation to the National Conference.

Shocking displays over the Easter period means the Red Dragon's are favourites to face the drop ahead of Boston who chalked up an impressive 4-1 win on Easter Monday.

Wrexham Manager Brian Carey has rallied his troops to pick up some vital results as the season draws to a close in a last ditch attempt to beat the drop.

A devastating late own goal gifted the magpie's tall three points at the Racecourse Ground, and the manager knows bouncing back from that low will take huge character, but he also knows it is well within his squad's capabilities.

"It was a cruel loss, but you have to take it and move on."

"Players were lying on the ground with their heads in their hands at the end.

"That's a natural reaction but I picked them up because the fans don't want to see that. There are five games to play and there's no talk of giving up here."
