Tilson looks for Loanee to boost Defence

Lincoln City manager Steve Tilson has said that he needs to bring a loanee defender ahead of Saturday's game against Hereford United.

Yesterday it was confirmed that the Imps would be without Moses Swaibu after he picked up his fifth yellow card of the season.

This morning Tilson has said that Adam Watts who is on loan from Fulham could also miss the game with an achilles problem. That just leaves former Bull Josh Gowling in the heart of defence.

"Adam is improving, he is still sore and with Achilles injuries, you have got to be really careful," said Tilson as reported by the Lincolnshire Echo.

"I had one myself and they can become long-term if they are not treated properly.

"As much as we would like Adam to play on Saturday he is not a definite and if I can bring someone else in, then I may do that."
