I think start Reid on the left, he added a fair bit to our game last night and did help take pressure off by just running with the ball.
I would go along with that. Especially as it's inevitable we will start Doyle and Kelly so progress will need to be made up the flanks as there will be no one advancing down the middle of the park.
I'm actually not too fussed by that against Lincoln but against Barnet I think we need to be more adventurous and would switch Bayliss for Kelly though it is very unlikely to happen.
Someone obviously thinks this is a huge game. The referee is Mike Dean, who has refereed almost exclusively in the Premier League for years, and hasn't had a 4th tier game since 2012. Given his reputation, we can expect a cardfest so Doyle needs to be very careful.
Bit strange that. Full weekend of Prem fixtures as well. Wonder why he's suddenly reffing our game having not done League 2 for 6 years?
Agree with starting Reid - also think Hyam should keep his place over Willis.
I'm going with another horrible cold 1-0 win which will do me just fine!
Mike Dean will probably mean bookings and a broken up game as he'll be used to the no tackling rule in premier league. On average he's given over 3.5 yellows in each game so far this season, so expect more than that!

With the weather likely to get worse I’m not sure this will be on. Lincolnshire one of worst affected areas...will their fans be able to get here? Also the approaches to the ground might be suspect. And of course the ‘premier league’ ref might not want to run out in the cold.

Be a bit hard on 4,000 stuck in Siberian condition(ish) to play a game where they have paid for tickets - wonder what he rules are for trying to get a refund?!
Think we will win 1-0 think MR may pick unchanged team from Tuesday night.

It’s touch and go if this storm catches us or not - it will be off if it does.
I'd rather go ahead and get the points on the board and leave the pressure to others to catch up then.
I'm ordering some thermals though, mainly for feet and knee caps
Have Lincoln been able to train in this?

Means we will be playing for a penalty and a 1-0 win if they have conceded loads!
Get the old long Johns on.
Can recommend I've probably gone with those for the last five entire Winter periods .
They obviously do get washed periodically Lol .
Might order some later, I'm usually warm enough everywhere apart from knee caps from sitting down and the wind being on them.
I live in lincoln, weather is shocking. My mates seem to think it is touch and go about being on. Travel is chaotic at the moment, I woukd be gutted if called off. Travelling with the imps sittingcwith the cov. Hopefully I’m the only one smiling on way back
I hope the game is on. I think we have our tails up and no distractions now. We can win 1-0.
A decent ref to assist Doyle will be good for us, against a physical side.
I do agree with ISSS and am a bit worried that Mike Dean will want to play the Uriah Rennie role.
However the only way is forwards so 5-0 City, Vincenti for Bayliss only because he needs a break. Haynes and Shipley on the left with Reid to come on in the second half when its a bit warmer for him.
Hyam to keep his place.
Two pairs of socks for me.

One shot, (and that from a penalty), has become the norm when Kelly and Doyle are together in CM. A draw at home will not be good enough, so I'd revert to Bayliss and Doyle for this one. That'd be harsh on Kelly, who had a decent game against Wycombe. Given that we don't have a decent RM, would it make sense to try Kelly on the right? I expect Robins will name an unchanged team and we will therefore struggle to score.
