Team for Lincoln

Team for Lincoln

I know Lang is scoring but I think he may be due a rest.

Iversen
Clarke Storey Gibson Wiley
Thompson Leroy
Mills Devine Bergzorg
Kenny
Two more games and then it's a 3 week international break, he'll get a break then. Start him and try and keep his goal scoring run going.
 
I’d like to see this. Lang unfortunate to miss out admittedly. I want Moran to have a run out. MOTM against Everton and hasn’t seen the pitch since

There’s a lot of people suggesting a back 4, particularly a 4231. What makes them think this is the weekend he breaks his habit?
I suppose it depends on whether folk are picking what team they would like to see or one that they suspect the manager will pick.

You have to play Lang - 3 absolute poachers goals where he's been on the move against static defences.

If he does that consistently then he's going to prove a lot of people wrong
 
absolutely need to stop the 6ft 5 (?) threat from their new Austrian centre forward. Fail to do that and we’re doomed.
Odds have us 5/4 favs - seems tight to me but hey

I completely understand the sentiment of course, but not a single one of our centre backs will be dominant in the air against him so the threat needs to be nullified in a more intelligent way for once. For me, this is one of the areas where Heckingbottom constantly comes unstuck. Our best way of combatting this kind of basic threat is to look after the ball much better ourselves, and completely cut off the supply into him. If a selection like Lindsay is made purely because the opposition player has someone powerful in the air we’re completely buggered.
 
I think he'll play:

Iversen

Clarke
Storey
Gibson

Mills
Thompson
Leroy
Devine
Wiley

Lang
Kenny

My line up would be:

Iversen

Clarke
Offiah
Gibson
Wiley

Thompson
Leroy

Mills
Devine
Lang

Kenny
 
That's why I'd play Clarke at CB. Intelligent positioning that can outmuscle and nudge the telegraph pole off balance before he jumps. You aren't going to win the ball in the air against him, so resort to pure shithousery until he sulks off/reacts...



Stop the crosses to the telegraph pole and nullify his impact.
 
Losing to Lincoln at home will be an absolute confidence crusher that will be extremely difficult to bounce back from in the short term.

Nicholls
Offiah, Storey, Gibson, Wiley
Leroy, Gibbs
Mills, Devine, Burgzorg
Lang
