Rovers v Imps

No Donaldo preview as yet but its the League Cup. GM has said he's taking it seriously but will experiment. Tend to think he might start Anderson and Long as centre backs. I'm still thinking Olowu is suspect as per Sutton first half. Not sure where his other changes will be. Knoyle needs more game time and Aghard too. Both Rovers and the Imps are undefeated this season. So that's got to change tonight. I think I read Rovers have never lost to Lincoln at least at home, I may be wrong. Also one of the first penalty shoot outs was in 1976 Rovers v Lincoln which Rovers won. I think that's the way it will be decided tonight

Sorry for no preview - I'm away and had thought it was a Papa John game for some reason.

I think McSheffrey thought it was a Papa John match too!

The trouble with a team of youth and experience is that the youth don't have the experience and the experienced don't have the youth. He's got a better squad of players this season but seems lost at moulding them into an effective team. No clear playing style or system. I'm thinking it was a mistake to appoint in house but we're saddled with it so hopefully it will get better.

The apologists have an inexhaustible supply of reasons why it's not working in the shape of the injured players. And I don't remember there ever being so many. I don't know enough about those who aren't playing to know whether they are right or not. I doubt whether Taylor will ever be the player he was, but who knows the potential of the newcomers or Close for that matter.

I have just seen the extended highlights which meant watching Lincoln waltzing through our defence. Williams and Biggins looked particularly ineffectual. Defenders that won’t tackle properly are liabilities and reminiscent of last season giving the impression that they weren’t trying.

This is very worrying and difficult to encourage the spirit of support amongst the fans.

Patience and optimism will quickly evaporate if they perform like this again.

An early Bonus winner - Micky - for his all-correct Sutton forecast. Well done.
