starting eleven for Lincoln?

I think so too and I like it, although I wouldn't be surprised to see Hannah start instead of Pittman based on Hurst's judgement of relative fitness/freshness. I think 80's makes a good point about Mackreth's pace on the break though.

I'd start Disley, he always scores against Lincoln

Quoted from Tommy

                 McKeown
Bignot  Nsiala  Pearson  Magnay
      Brown   Clay  McLaughlin
                    Neilson
      John-Lewis    Pittman

This for me though i think a fresh and champing at the bit Hannah may get a start. Pittman not played a lot the last few seasons and looked to be feeling it a bit on Saturday.

Know what you mean !
It's almost like these big games (e.g. playoff 2nd leg) are made for him.
Thought about mentioning it (and including him) myself.
Then quickly decided against a ruddy good think, pen & paper etc + most importantly, the possibility of having to write shed loads justifying all the "tinkering" of MY selection.  

Guessing we'll start Tommy's team too (probably hardest to question except possible lack of width etc) too.
Or will we ?...

Guy on the OS (Jack Harvey sounds like a knowledgeable bloke !) says:
"Craig Disley has netted in his last two appearances at Sincil Bank and that record could tempt Hurst to hand the skipper a recall to the starting XI."

I just wonder, is there anything revealing about Hurst saying...
"This game is a special one at a different time from what we've been used to. For those players that haven't experienced it, they need to be ready because it really is a unique atmosphere."

Is he thinking big match record, temperament, big game needs the captain, experience, attacking flair etc ?
Let's face it, they're all good reasons !
I wonder if Dis might be better in a 3 man central midfield. (depending on his match fitness v freshness)
But then again you're arguably more defensive + is it gonna be about midfield possession or more a "rough and tumble" one with players head down flying down the wing any chance they get etc etc etc (don't ask me, it sure aint easy !)

FFS Hurst too many options !
Can someone have a word and tell him it's not good enough ?
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Shorty out !

OMG was it you who gave me the green tick ?
Nearly had a heart attack from shock when I saw it.
Only another 221 to go to break even lol (no support desired, at least disagreements make for more interesting discussion)

Quoted from Madeleymariner

This, or given judging by Lincoln highlights (big launches into the box) 3-5-2 with Doig in and Bignot out

Just seen this...
Can see your logic here too (so +1) , makes you wonder !
Magnay at CB ?
Or you thinking Doig = extra height advantage ?

Arrgghh heads in danger of exploding now.
I just thank intercourse Hurst is calling it all and it's not me...

Arrgghh heads in danger of exploding now.

I imagine that's a daily sensation in the 80's household......
