Because of him still technically being on loan I assume?

Yes correct

[lincoln ranger]

Charlie up front and on his own? Nothing to replace him on the bench? We all know how this plays out. He’ll be hanging out of his ‘arris come 60 mins! What are our options then? Hang on and hope for the best? Jeez…

This highlights that we are thin at striker and that needs fixing if we are going to stay in the play off conversation, I know Dykes got hurt with us but him being involved with a Scotland side which has played many games and just might qualify means he will take knocks and be knackered, Gray has been playing for Jamaica and there are 6 more Concacaf matches, once again I know he got hurt with us but the travel to Jamaica and Central America to play on rough pitches is tough! I don't think many of us saw Austin as a 90 minute every match when he came back but that is what might be forced upon us now!

False 9?

[lincoln ranger]

Come on Charlie, no pressure…get us 2-0 up and then you can take your rest on 60 mins! We’ll do a Barcelona and play with a ‘false 9’ (whatever one of those is?) Lol. You Rrs!!!

Beat me to it mate!

Need Chair to be very direct and attack minded tonight, he can't be drifting out wide or dropping deep - everything he does needs to be threatening their backline and goal. He simply has to be playing close to Charlie. As for Chaz he needs to do 90 mins so he has to stay very central with no wasted effort running out wide. Let Willock do the running about, he's a strong fit lad.

Ideally I think that's what we will see with the other 3 taking care of the centre of the park, we need another big match from Dozzell and I hope Wallace is up to it because the WB's may be quite busy !

‘First choice’ WBs for the first time this season would you say? Definitely both offer more than the others considered for those positions. Just hope they get the supply into Charlie and he does his stuff in the penalty area!

Ground half empty 5 min before ko mainly because the police seem to be making it as difficult as possible to get to any of the roads around the ground!

That was very close to being down a goal and down a man, good recovery, we are looking a little shaky to start!

[SheepRanger]

Dodgy first 3mins on defence. Twice they could have scored.

[Macca]

Get in Willock.

Get in Willock!
