Having dropped Forest loanee Jordan Smith, Flitcroft saw Conrad Logan give away a crucial penalty in Monday’s 1-1 home draw with Lincoln City as well as fail to hold a couple of crosses.

Some fans criticised Logan on social media and called for smith;s return, but Flitcroft said he would speak to both keepers before he making his decision public.

“After a game there are a lot of emotions flying round. I always feel it’s the wrong time to open those forums up,” he said.

“But I will always speak to players before I do anything in the press.

“I have a very honest relationship with them and it’s a very personal and private one.

“The players are in today and I will let them know what we got right and what we got wrong.

“It’s a different set of players and a different team we are playing on Saturday and the team I pick will reflect that.”
