Just about to set off.

Will be setting off in a couple of hours. Merthyr clearly has more dedication to the cause than I do.

Not really , he just lives further away so needs more time.

Be Interesting to see what the gate is tonight. It is very cold out already.
I shall be there and the pound for a child admission might bring a few extra.

Just had a look at the ticket site and it’s actually not looking too bad at all. Most of the upper tier sold out and only single seats left in the lower. Obviously a lot behind the goal but have read that Northampton have sold out their initial allocation of 798 so I think we may get over 8,000

Another match i'm watching while pretending to work. I have my boss totally fooled because sadly i don't break the silence anymore shouting GOAL!!!

Is it that because we never score any these days

 

[cdhIMP]

Just seen the lineup, are we playing 7 at the back?

I can't make head nor tail of the line up.
Maybe 6-3-1 or maybe 4-4-1-1

Exactly. The only good thing about our lack of goals is that my job is pretty safe while watching the game pretending to be working.

 

[Red Wimp]

I guess Sorensen playing right ‘wing’, seem to remember we played similar with him and Haks a few games ago

 

[Cricklewoodimp]

Looks very defensive.

 

[Red Wimp]

Not sure who’s playing the notional wing back. Could be Eyoma - Burroughs but conceivably Burroughs - Roughan

 

[Luke Imp]

A front three of Sorenson, Hamilton and Adelakun according to Radio Lincs.

Well, it’s nice to see us going for it at home…

Wow. Different
4-3-3 ?
With midfield 3 of
Bishop Erhahon Burroughs

 

[Chesterimp]

After his 'cameo' at Derby, Adelakun has a point to prove - again.

Maybe in for his throws?

 

[Luke Imp]

5-2-3/3-4-3 on their graphic with Bishop/Erhahon in CM and Hamilton centre of the front three.

 

[Imp2stone]

Looks like we are really going for it tonight
