Still there for me too.

Also - Gladwin and Wharton look shooped too ?

Too scared Gladwin would get injured.

Safer to photoshop.

Wharton, Gladwin and Downing have the same body.

[BlackburnEnd75]

I’d go

                     Leutwiler

Travis          Downing    Rodwell      Bell

                     Reed       Whittingham

 Conway                Palmer           Rothwell

                           Nuttall

subs: Raya, lenihan, Smallwood, Bennett, graham & whoever else is fit enough to play. 

If Samuel, Davenport or Williams were fit I’d be starting them but I don’t think they are.

Bennett and Evans are gonna be rested for this one according to the article. Can't say that's a bad idea, really.

[Gogger]

Is it on Ifollow?

[blueboy3333]

Same team as the weekend but with Travis for Evans and Conway for Bennett. Maybe he'll give also give Reed a game and bring Downing in for a Lenny or Mulgrew. Mogga won't want to be humiliated by 4th Division Dingle-Slayers.

[benhben]

I think this game is a good chance to give some game time to our promising U23s with some experience to help them along. 

 

                     Leutweiler

Nyambe   Downing Rodwell Doyle?

         Travis  Hardcastle  Reed

Conway         Nuttall        Rankin-Costello?     

 

Subs.

Whittingham

Bell

Tomlinson

Mols

Raya

Palmer

Lenihan

Fair enough! This season seems a big step up for them.

Lincoln have been something of a bogey club before I was born....

[Admiral Nelsen]

Ideally I'd like to rest both Lenihan & Mulgrew for this one, considering they'll both be away with their countries. Not sure how we can manage that if Rodwell's not ready, as it seems like TM has hinted at. 

Realistically, I'd like to see something like this:

                  Raya

Travis  Lenihan Downing  Bell

       Reed  Tomlinson

Conway   Palmer   Rothwell

               Nuttall

[afootballfan]

Think we'll be playing Downing, and think Reed, Travis & Conway should start

[philipl]

I think it would be nice to be in the next round without penalties.

[bboy]

Think as many have suggested the worst result tonight would be another injury to a first team player.

So as many from the u21 as possible, maybe include Rodwell, travis, nutall and wheel out wittingham from the dust heap.

[OJRovers]

Rodwell not ready according to Tony. Needs a couple of weeks training to get in the match day squad.

 

[JamieUK]

I can't see where the changes are going to be made with the injuries we have and the U23 side last night.

Raya

Nyambe, Lenihan, Mulgrew, Bell

Travis Smallwood

Conway Palmer Rothwell

Nutall

Leutwiler, Caddis, Hart, Downing, Rodwell (purely cos there's nobody else to take a seat on the bench) / Whittingham (cant see it as he hasn't been anywhere near), Reed, Graham

So just Bennett & Evans out from the side that started at the weekend which has been widely reported anyway... I'd give Reed a go instead of Smallwood but he's only just come in and don't think the manager will throw him straight in.

[Gone to seed]

Going on for this one, hoping to see some of the fabulous team.spirit that has taken root in the squad. Not expecting a classic by any means, but hoping to be entertained. Cmon ye Blues!

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

1,000+ Lincoln fans expected..not bad!

In the 1950’s the “L’s” were our bogey teams. Lincoln along with Luton, Leicester and Leeds often upset the applecart.

I second that. I remember it well. In 1953/54 (I think) we lost away at Lincoln 8-0. That equalled our heaviest ever defeat to Arsenal.  Later that season my dad took me to Ewood in January where we gained some revenge with a 6-0 victory.

[roversoutsider]

Lenihan and Nuttal are certs to start for me, going off the club's Instagram

My team would be:

                            Leutwiler

Travis       Lenihan      Downing      Williams

                     Tomlinson Reed

     Bennett       Rothwell      Conway

                         Nuttall

Lincoln are a strong physical side with pacy players. We will have to start off well and give them their due respect.

2-1 Rovers

I'm not knocking your team, we're a bit stuck for bodies at the moment, but I can't see many goals in that side.

[Stuart]

Parking nazis out in force round Ewood tonight.

Watch our where you leave your motor folks.

[Blue Cabbage]
