Got to be 4-4-2 with Stewart and Wyke up top , Midfield diamond of Leadbitter ,Jones, McGeady, with Gooch behind the frontmen. ONien, Wright ,Flanagan, McFazdean in defence, Burge is the best keeper so would play him .Some fans want Wyke out of the side , but despite a barren spell he has 30 goals and might fire with some extra support . I would load the bench with forwards and versatile midfield players if things aren’t going our way .

Well done for this season @RTB (I'm going for a 2-0 win and a goal in extra time to win). This is if we score in the 1st 10/15mins!!!!!

Really little point in loading the bench with defenders, we have little to defend, the team you name is probably the team that will start, we will see how well they do, as we wont be seeing RTB's with LJ picking his go too's.

All about opinions but we lost the midfield battle with 3 in centre midfield so I don't think we'd fair too well with one centre mid who can't run protecting the back 4

cheers again RTB...

watched the other semi last night, sorry like but cannot see past blackpool going up, both teams actually looked as if they wanted it and yes it was pretty much a 'typical' div 3 game but you could see they were going for it...if we play as we did in the 1st leg this is our last game.

i have also seen plenty from our squad to know that they are capable of far better performances and if they do not want 'bottler' on their CV's then they need to at least put on a show for the fans and take the game to lincoln.

i feel we can do it today but will fall short in the final i'm afraid as that would be typical sun'lan...build us up with a good display then turn up for the final as a 3 legged race team doing the spoon and egg.

If we can get through today, I think it'll be any one's game at Wembley. Embleton got them back in the game yesterday, and he won't be playing.

In the 2 games against Blackpool, they looked hard to break down, but there wasn't much in it. We've already won at Wembley this season too. i'm not counting my chickens.

The game basically boils down to who scores the first goal IMO. If we score its game on, if they do - I can't see us pulling it back. The players seriously need to start on the front foot and get into their faces to make them make mistakes and hopefully we can keep it tight at the back
