Three Things The Imps Need To Do To Win Tonight:

"Sam Long is having his first game for the full team, but it's not just him. After a couple of disappointing results, we need to accept that we are in transition..."

I've decided to bite the bullet and travel up. Looking forward to seeing Long's debut and hopefully TJ's first start as a Lincoln player.
 
United have loaned a fair few out, so I'm expecting to see a fairly inexperienced line up. Two years ago we saw Chong and Garner who have now done well out on loan in the Championship
 
Well Varane hasn’t started a game yet or Sancho I think so perhaps they’ll throw in a couple of over age players.
Possible upside for the club my next door neighbour’s lad is about 8 mad keen on football but his parents no connection to Lincoln so my gentle encouragement to take him to LNER so far to no avail. However as ostensibly a Man U fan he is taking him tonight so maybe he will get the bug and nag him to take him to more matches.

A benefit of having the u23 sides in the competition.

I like these games almost purely from the perspective of seeing the players and assessing what I think about them.

I think even then though its quite tricky to draw conclusions of how players would then get on in league one, playing man united u21s is very different to vokes up front against Wycombe for your defenders and keeper for example. And last season Elbouzedi was really good in it, but that didn't seem to matter very much for his long term prospects at the club...
