EFL - The Imps (A)

Team: Lincoln City

Date: 07/11/17

Where: Sincil Bank

What line-up should Kevin Nolan opt for? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.

Nolan said this game "is just as important as the Rovers game"... he has to say that really, but I hope he drafts in the fringe players and just whatever happens happens. Top of the league, into the second round of the FA Cup, we don't need this added distraction.

If this game is just as important as the Roverz game, I look forward to seeing the team sheet tomorrow night at the full strength squad named. More likely it will be a reserve team again on display. Not that it matters to me as I won't support this trophy anymore (was a bit sketchy beforehand to be honest), it is all but killed off now.

I think Kevin Nolan will still give some of the fringe/reserve players a chance.

However, I suspect he will go with a strong midfield and front line up top. Perhaps 4 of them will be lucky to make the squad? If things go wrong, it could backfire. Fans are already annoyed and a weak team would suggest to those with concerns that we haven't taken the cup seriously. This is why we need to win regardless, plus it lifts the camp - it might not be on par with the Bristol win but it will be good none the less.

I hope we rest the entire first team, and suffer a narrow loss with no injuries or cards.  This competition has become a sick joke, we should treat it as such and the sooner we exit the better in my opinion.

i think we have to go for it tonight.

failure to do so will only prove the fans who dont attend are right, so why field a weak team? if the money is that important anyway.
