Match Day Thread Lincoln City v Sunderland – Tuesday 5th October 2021 - KO 19:00

[SAFCDRUM]

Hughins has withdrawn from the Welsh squad with a back injury which is a big shame because this game would have been ideal for him

Didnt even realise he'd been called up. Winchester will be playing then.

Wales U21s mate.

I think it could be a largely different side than it would have been if we hadn't got humped at the weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if Huggins and Cirkin played as full backs, with Hume further upfield.

I don't expect to see Evans, so maybe Winny might move into midfield alongside Neil and Embleton or Pritchard. I would rest Luke as well. Start Wright and Alves, with Younger and Doyle replacing them later.

If Gooch is fit, he is likely to start. If not, give Dajaku more game time. We are short of options up front due to Broadhead's injury and I wouldn't risk Stewart, so I expect AOB to lead the line.

Burge
Huggins, Alves, Wright, Cirkin
Winchester, Neil, Embleton
Gooch, Hume
O'Brien

Subs: Hoffman, Younger, Doyle, Taylor, Pritchard, Dajaku, Harris

2-1 win for the Lads!

Huggins is injured..

Huggins is injured..

That's a pity. Back injury eh? Personal Injury Claim going in against the ref for not calling the game off

Yeah its a shame him and Broadhead are facing a spell on the sidelines.
After their performances against Cheltenham i was hoping to see them phased into our first choice starting 11

HA'WAY THE LADS

MACKEMS ATTACKEM

Promotion obviously is numero uno priority, but as long as we keep playing fringe/youth in the cups and keep winning, I'm happy.

I won't be posting my lucky fooking cat on a match thread again ffs, and if we lose the next league game I might even kick the fooker

Fully deserved mind. I doubt he’ll be starting but it’ll be interesting to see where he plays if he does get some minutes. RB surely.

Thats good id rather him be with Ireland than starting a pointless match for us.
That callup will give him a huge boost in whats been an amazing start to the season for him.

I actually enjoy these games as there's no pressure and it gives new/fringe/returning players a good opportunity. I can watch without the ridiculous tension of league games so I can concentrate on certain players.

Haway the Lads, knock a few in and entertain the troops

Good shout BoE but I would prefer Younger in as opposed to Wright.

 

[Gil T Azell]

I always expect us to win and unlike LJ who isnt blaming the conditions for the trouncing on Saturday I am. If the pitch is playable I want to see a team who will win the game in 90 mins (45 would be better). 1-3 AOB hat trick.

Posted this in the non SAFC games thread but the lineup for the u23s tonight is extremely young and inexperienced. Looks like a fair few of their regulars will be playing tomorrow...

Looks like it.
WBA are scoring for fun - could be a tough night.

They are top of the league. 6 nil and 5-2 in their last 2 games apparently.
