I can see him starting Rodrigues and Kenny for this. Leaving out Apter and McAtee. Give JOT a break too and get Christie in. 

while I'd like to see Rodriquez start, he's played 45 mins in the B team and his cameo yesterday since last may, so unsure of he'll be ready to start just yet

This will be their 4 of 5 games in 2 weeks, I'd like to think we'd be that little bit fresher

You’re probably right. I just like the thought of starting brightly and taking him off at HT when a goal or two up.

Another in form team and shit ground for us. 

Stating the obvious but it’s another massive game for us as you’d think Lincoln will beat Northampton, just can’t let them extend the gap.  

14 cup finals to play. 

Its going to cost us a fortune in suits and hotels.

Probably a semi final at Reading, if we lose we're realistically knocked out before we get to the other 13.

Bonham
Christie - Toal - Forino - Johnston
Erhahon - Sheehan
Kenny - McAtee - CBT or Cissoko
Dalby

Strong/safe at the back, fast and tricky up top

[Dr Faustus]

I’m in York with the lad. If he finishes in time, we have 39 mins for a 28 min journey… gets us to the station with 45 to spare. £40+ difference in next trains and not likely to make kick off

Proper fancy it though

[BeeversLeftPeg]

Not going to say ant of the 'won't be looking at Lincoln's score, gotta do our business' as we as fans will all be checking those scores tomorrow night.

If we can back up Saturday with another +3 tomorrow night they are doing their bit. Hopefully Nobby gets Northampton to dig in for us.

[Whitesince63]

Let’s be honest, it’s unlikely that Northampton will get anything from Lincoln tomorrow but surprises do happen and if one does there and we can take advantage of it at Reading then it’s all back on. We can only hope.

What Lincoln do or don’t do isn’t our concern. We need to focus on our own business and the rest will take care of itself.

They have an offer on for the Northampton match where ST holders can take a friend for £5. They’re also putting home fans in the stand we were in.

[boltonboris]

Sheehan in for Dempsey, Apter dropping to the bench with Kenny coming in and McAtee moving to the right (perhaps) 

Followed by a 1-0 defeat

Be absolutely delighted if they scrape a draw. Can’t see it though. I think Lincoln’s style will be more suited to playing Northampton than we would.

Of course it's our concern.

If they don't drop points they'll finish above us.

Everyone of us is hoping they slip up.

We can't do anything about it though, and that's why we simply have to win our games.

I miss the days of people at the match with radios to their ears 

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

Is Kenny the type who can play on the wing?

Makes sense, especially on a cold Tuesday night and on Sky+ so clearly Reading will want as many on as possible. Not sure it should make much difference though and it shouldn’t affect the way we play. They know we’re taking a few and they won’t want to be out shouted. Big game for the Royals too this if they are to get into a okay off place.

Seeing people lighting cigs in opposite stand at Burnden used to enthral me as a kid

As anyone said "must win" yet.

If not, Must Win.

on Reading's behalf? Wonder where they were this time last year

[bwfc4ife]

Can't see anything other than draw at best in this one I'm afraid especially with their home record.

For all of the positive stuff this season it just hasn't been enough and will be our downfall. We can't sustain the good play for a good 90 mins week in week out and haven't been able to do it all season really. Business end of the season or not i just don't see that changing. We can be exceptional for 45 mins, then turgid the next half.

We've been close and had some great moments but it just isn't sustained for long enough periods in games for me. 

Hope i'm wrong like. 

[Tonge moor green jacket]

If we took all our chances in whichever half were good in, we'd be a touch better off!

It is a concern of course, but we're on a decent enough run and can't complain too much.

Another in form team tomorrow, and it won't be easy at all.

If we've still only two in midfield, then don't change it, especially away.

Can always make adjustments later.

Apart from Cardiff, Lincoln are there for a reason, so are we, If we give it the all, like Saturday, we're in the mix
