None as yet.​

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Anyone else sense this has a psyhological importance to it, similar to the Bristol Rovers v Blades 2020/21 FA Cup tie as the wheels had well and truly come off Wilder's second season in the Premier League?

No.

 

[St Albans Blade]

No.

So hope you're right and presume not a single player expected to start against Everton will be involved in the Lincoln game.

 

[Snowflake]

So hope you're right and presume not a single player expected to start against Everton will be involved in the Lincoln game.

How about Archer and McBurnie ?

 

[St Albans Blade]

PS: If ever there was a club that needs to bring it's logo up to date it's Lincoln!

 

[Newbury Blade]

Surely chance to give some players a go that haven't yet featured whilst also getting a win too?

I'd go with:

Davies,
Bogle, Basham, Trusty, Larouchi/Buyabu
Davies, Coulibaly, Slimane (If fit), Norwood

Strikers wise, any from Marsh, McBurnie, Archer, Osula and Traore. I'd prob rest Traore and be careful minutes wise with McBurnie and Archer if they start.

Brooks will play

[sheff_blade90]

ill be there. Wednesday are better for me than Tuesday's. i think we will go strong as we want to win for the momentum

 

[mansfieldblade95]

I am hoping we will set eyes on Trusty. I want to lay eyes on Coulibally.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Aren’t you busy injecting pure cottage cheese into your brain whilst preparing them overnight oats?

 

[silver blade]

Nice 100 loyalty points I picked up to see the first win of our season.

They beat Blackpool 3-0 so I think we will strugle

 

[Nessman930]

This is shameless self promotion, but Chad did a preview video ahead of the match with a Lincoln City fan. Check it out if you’d like.

Is VAR in operation tomorrow?

Is VAR in operation tomorrow?

Not until the semis

 

[Varkanoid]

This will be the game for the players that need the game time and the new ones to possible play too. Going on comments about game time required for some in the post match Man City interview.

Ties won in both major cups by decade since the League Cup started in 1960-61:

Seasons	FA Cup ties won	Best finish	League Cup ties won	Best finish
1960-61 to 1968-69	17​	SF​	7​	QF (twice)​
1969-70 to 1978-79	3​	Last 32 (3 times)​	12​	QF​
1979-80 to 1988-89	13​	Last 16​	9​	Last 32 (3 times)​
1989-90 to 1998-99	16​	SF (twice)​	9​	Last 16​
1999-2000 to 2008-09	15​	SF​	20​	SF​
2009-10 to 2018-19	21​	SF​	8​	SF​
2019-20 to 2022-23	10​	SF​	3​	Last 32 (twice)​
Total	95​	​	68​	​

Our record in the League Cup has never been that good, and since Clough's team got to the semi final 9 years ago it's been really poor. We've won 5 ties in 8 seasons.

Seeing us beat Burscough was the only second time I saw us win a FA Cup match! Bristol City was my first time.

Am pretty sure same goes for me. That excellent Tony Currie goal v Bristol City. Burscough in green shirts , never saw that before then.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Two penalties, plus for giving away the 2nd pen a bloke got sent off. Good team though, definitely not to be underestimated.

 

[Dnblade]

I just remember us applauding Burscough off from the Kop for a good effort being a non league team,and it could have been their no.9 giving us the rods in reply.
Never did much in the cups in those days..I think '68 we got to the quarters in the FA cup,but had some great cup runs in the last 30 years.

After 1968, the next time we reached the 5th round was in 1989!

Yes,always surprised how bad we were in the cup back then...especially with that early 70's side.

And a chant of Burscough from the kop at full time. I was only about 8 at the time but odd how I can remember random things like that

Now asking me what I had for my tea yesterday? No chance

That's right,the Burscough chant..I'm the same with remembering certain things about games,sometimes it's not what went on in the game,but might be the weather,or who i went with,or a certain incident..some games can't remember anything at all.

 

[AWetFlannel]

Is the ticket office open before the game to buy tickets? Will they be without the irritating £1 booking fee they charge online?

ANEL EGAN TRUSTY

OSBORNE BALDOCK SOUZA COULIBALY

BENIE JEBBISON/MCBURNIE

 

[maidmarion]

Osborne is out for a while I think…..

 

[HarryHaslam]

Touch of fallowfield about this post isn’t there. Intentionally naming injured/not available players just to get some bites.

 

[S64 Blade]

No chance Osborne plays this season.

If Mansfield were Fallowfield he'd pick Osbourne and Jebbinson!

 

[espoo blade]

ESPN+ do have broadcasting rights for the competition, but think they are only showing Donny v. Everton on Weds.

Yep, also on Viaplay the only option tonight is Donny v Everton Last night there was only Fulham v Spurs and Salford v Leeds scum. Not the best selection, but quite amusing to see Leeds lose on pens
