Lincoln away

[Alexandra The Great]

Maybe Steve was overawed with Lincoln, didn't he use them as an example last season as a club that are bigger than the Alex, with their bigger crowds, recent championship history and so on.

Yeh,the usual 'we're just little teeny weeny itsy bitsy Crewe' crap we've sadly heard on a fee occasions from various club personnel and a section of the fans. This ofcourse,is the same Lincoln City who are now an established 5th tier outfit,haven't enjoyed 2nd tier footy since the fifties,I believe,have been getting much smaller crowds than Crewe for years and not too long ago were dicked 4-0 on their own patch by the mighty North Ferriby.

Totally agree, i have been saying that all summer. Both of our full backs are attacking and as Lincoln proved, we need more height for set pieces etc. You could play the following:

GK: Garratt
RWB: Turton
CD: Davis
CD: Nugent
CD: Guthrie
LWB: Bakayogo
CM: Jones
CM: Bingham
CM: Ainley
ST: Dagnall
ST: Lowe

However, SD won't play this formation as Cooper and Kirk are not included. Sod them in my opinion and try to play to our strengths.............if we have any.

Exactly the same team & formation I'd go for mate.

I wouldn't argue with that
