Lincoln v Man Utd U21s

[Cricklewoodimp]

Papa John's Trophy game is now being played next Tuesday, 24th August.

 

[cdhIMP]

Debut for Varane?

 

[CottyImp]

That's me out then ! Off to Scotland next week. Following our exit to Shrewsbury, I had expected a blank mid-week. Won't be getting to every game this season now !!

 

[Impala]

No blank midweek in August, albeit two of them are Pizza Cup games.

 

[SalfordImp]

Great I will be able to watch the game with Junior Imp in Pompey thats if its on iFollow video?

I wouldn’t have the likes of Man Utd in the competition if they can’t agree to play on scheduled dates. It’s not as if they would be short of players, even with multi age call ups in international breaks. But I guess money talks.

 

[Implode]

May be if we are doing them a favour by changing dates they could loan us a CB? That new lad Varane might suit a season of acclimatising to the English game in L1......

 

[Peter Griffimp]

Interestingly, Raphael Varane has a connection with Lincolnshire, well Market Rasen.

His aunt used to teach French at De Aston.

Would have been about 15 years ago.

Don't ask too much...it'll end up being Phil Jones

 

[sedgleyimp]

I'll be missing this as well as I'm going up north in a tent for a few days from Thursday and coming back Tuesday evening. Oh well

 

[Woodis]

Live scouting for a loanee before the transfer window ‘slams’ shut?

Amazing tent. Does it have wheels or fly like a magic carpet? As Woodis asks above is it your in-tent to do some 'scouting'?

 

[Red Wimp]

7pm kick off

 

[Davidimp]

Doing there best to make things difficult for folk to go.

Judging by M A 's answer to the question tonight your not the only one who was expecting a blank mid-week. Not chuffed i'd say !

 

[Impala]

Appleton clearly not happy on radio "less said about that (Papa John's fixture next week) the better".
Presume clubs not involved in EFL Cup Round 2 were mandated to play EFL Trophy games where possible - three have been quickly rearranged next week. Won't help get any sort of attendance and may or may not help us with so many players out or needing more time on the pitch - also play Bradford following week on 31st.

 

[Davidimp]

Cramming in lots of games doesn't really help us .

 

[Hank the Imp]

I can only see these first two Papa John's games as being treated as pre-season type matches, get minutes on the pitch for those who need it and try and limit the amount of time any of the "First team" may have to endure; and not worry about the results.
It's a competition that we have a good chance of winning, but I'd prefer to be out of it nice and early and this maybe the chance to do that, keeping a few mid-season midweeks free to rest our players.
Let Sunderland qualify from the group and clog up their fixture list!

 

[bristolimp]

we should do all the stupid passing it around at the back and keeper playing at the halfway line during these matches get it out of their systems and concentrate on staying in league 1

Liam said club been bullied by Premier League club. EFL should be protecting Lincoln as it is a EFL cup. Not happy at all.
