In case you wanted to chat about this one on this site as well.

Bit of expectation today? Looking forward to the team news and Matt Scrafton’s attempt at a formation

Ticket - check
Phone - check
Rail ticket reference number - check
Anti-East Coast thermals - check
Hoodie - check
Overcoat - check

Right, we're ready. Do you know that it takes as long to get to Lincoln from London as it does to get to Blackpool?

1-2 to the 'Pool - wish this one was a bit closer but finish work at 1 and so no chance!

 

[SeasideKurt]

Hoping the new lads gel quickly.

 

[Poolman]

Looking forward to this one! Would have probably taken a draw beforehand but think we need 3 points to put us back in the mix!

 

[Insider]

It will be an interesting team choice today. I don't have a clue what the line-up will be, let alone the bench.

In fairness Insider, I wonder if Larry will have an idea! Just hope he plays his own side and doesn't worry about what the opposition does!

Madine to score on his return debut - 2-0

Just testing smilies on my phone.
No don't work on this either. Is it a Samsung problem?

We’re looking at this at the moment - we have the option of about 4 sets of different smilies and so might change. In the meantime if you’re on a phone, I’d use the smilies on your phone which do appear on here ..

P.S. Ignore the messages waiting for approval - they’ll all be approved within a few minutes - we’re just doing some off line testing (another reason we have restricted access to just a few of you!).

Edited to say we have now finished that work and so all messages should now instantly appear!

Looks a decent playing surface (better than Tranmere anyway!!)

Looks decent - do they still play that ridiculous siren when they score/have possession? Sure I used to hear that on Soccer Saturday!

 

[FedoraExplorer]

Still way too conservative for me. Why stick with Guy and Spearing when they were so poor on Tuesday when he has options

Bench: Sims, Thorniley, Kaikai, Teacher's Pet, Virtue, Madine, Husband

Remembering Lincoln when they came to Bloomfield Road I would like to think we have enough there - great wide men but that central midfield still worries me - surely Spearing and Guy are too similar?

 

[adamswonkyteeth]

So is that a 4-4-2 or will it be a 4-4-1-1 ... certainly looks like it has a bit more balance than of late.

 

[McG_BFC]

Still think one of our defenders gives us our best chance of a goal!

 

[Ghost_of_Max]

Could our luck finally be changing?

[thecatintheroof]

My mate who is at the game says no way was it a penalty! More justice done than luck changing!

I see Wycombe are losing - their bubble seems to me going down quicker than ours!!

 

[Ghost_of_Max]

Just read who is on the bench - where is the Wolves lad?

Not eligible to play mate.

Watching comments on the old AVFTT - don’t think the opening 45 minutes is winning Larry many fans!

First half report from the Lincoln fan Matt Scrafton

[Hereforthefootball]

ON: Joe Nuttall and Gary Madine
OFF: Liam Feeney and Armand Gnanduillet

I don’t mind this change - Nuttall never worked well with Gnanduillet and might just operate better with Madine and how good would it be if he got a goal? Time will tell.

 

[FedoraExplorer]

1-0 down ... I’ve come here to escape! The other board has hit the meltdown button

 

[Hereforthefootball]

Well that, for me, is a case of the manager getting it wrong from the off. Very few Blackpool fans agreed with that line up. Could be a hostile atmosphere next week at Bloomfield Road .. if Larry lasts that long!

 

[wizard_wes]

Agree HFTF - just wrote next Saturday could be tricky - talk about killing the feel good factor in the space of 8 months. The homecoming seems a long time ago and Sadler will be aware if we limp over the finishing line this season then the goodwill will have gone and season ticket sales will go down as a result.
