How many Lincoln fans there? It sounds like there are quite a few . . or maybe the commentary box is down that end. . .

Relationship update on Facebook?

This formation is quite honestly abysmal.

Doesn't help that Rothwell is having a shocker and still waiting for Graham to touch the ball.

Got a bit scrappy this last few minutes.

I’ll stick my neck out here and say I still understand Mowbray’s formations, even for league games. They work though, so I can’t complain.

It’s a really odd shape. This five at the back slash Caddis playing as a winger isn’t working.

Not sure Rothwell has much to aim at tbf.

Alway bemuses when managers pick a hybrid team. Either go for it or don’t. Or blood a couple of youngsters while maintaining a framework of first teamers.

This one could yet get away from us. Need the shepherd’s crook to come out and put Caddis out of [our] misery.

Stop moaning. We have a job to do this season and this Cup does not figure.

[RevidgeBlue]

Do we ever play well playing 3-5-2?

Will be really disappointing if we go out at home to lower league opposition. If you pick a weakened side you've got to make sure it's still good enough to get through.

Rovers twitter asking us to stay in ouour seats at half time , Brereton?!

If the cup is such an irrelevance to you, why read this thread?

I couldnt attend tonight and I find these updates very useful personally.

[Waggy76]

I always think , picking a weakened team gives the manager an excuse !!!

What choice did he have but to play a weakened side?Look at the players we have out. 

Which is more important tonight or Sunday?

What would you be saying if he started one or two more first teamers and we picked up more injuries?

[Nonnel40]

It seems a fairly even game so far.. Were still in it.. What more can we ask? Can't win 4-1 every round.

Have I wandered onto the Brentford thread by mistake?? “Dreadful team”, Woeful lack of depth”, “shit bench”....

Mogga said he’d pick a team he thought could do the job, so I’ll give him the benefit till 7.55 

Caddis in shop window imo.

You're only going to give him until 10 minutes into the game?

Caddis in the shop window...I wouldn't put him in Poundland's shop window. I'd feel embarrassed donating him to a charity shop.

[Nonnel40]

It won't be Chapman anyway.. On the bench for boro.

[Paul Mellelieu]

45' - Into two minutes of added time. You might want to stay in your seats after the half-time whistle goes...
