Saturday 16th November fixtures

Ffs. Now had a 3rd call up (Doyle for the under 20s) but can't call it off because it's less than 5 days notice. ..

Fair to say everyone should lump on Lincoln on Saturday

Frustrating to lose Doyle, yes. But luckily our squad isn’t depleted by injuries, so plenty of options to choose from.

Having midfield options of Woods, Francis, Cole, Aitchison is decent and we’ll be able to bring on the likes of Mitchell, Cox, Bird etc for some quality off the bench.

Also keen to see Alli have another chance through the middle. He’s proved he can do it so this is an ideal chance for him.

This is a league match so shouldn't be about players taking chances, we should be able to field our strongest possible side, as Lincoln are able to.
Maybe Charlton could help us with an appeal to the EFL???

This shows how ridiculous the system is. Of Charltons three call ups, only Small was in the squad (came on as sub). Meanwhile our two call ups were pivotal figures in our side but we can't cancel...

We have our two keepers called up and have to get an emergency loan in.

To be fair, Connell Trueman has doe ok for us but it's an accident waiting to happen.

I get what you’re saying but as we’re in this position we just need to get on with it until the rules change. We have some quality to come in and it could work to our advantage if one or two of them make an impact. It’s not as if the players we bring in are going to be untried kids.

I think the EFL probably need to look at L1 soon r.e. international breaks. For the time being though, I'm assuming EFL sides agreed to the current rules i.e. 3 call-ups?

 

[Conker]

they only do half a job anyway, most of our internationals are either playing in Oceania or the Caribbean so they come back unable to start the first game after the break.

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

Whereas we've been F5ing the Chile, Malawi and Sierra Leone squad selections!

A expectant capacity crowd for the game over at Edgeley Park this weekend I see. Tickets in the home end are like gold dust for this one.

We have 7 full internationals and we are shite

Could be a spare seat mate. I'm feeling as rough as a dog the last few days.

Hopefully pass a late fitness test on Saturday morning.

Okonkwo's out for 6 weeks. Stocky 's streak of never seeing him play a decent match goes on.

I'm doing a Mansfield pre-emptive excuse in case we lose, i.e I will be out on Saturday so won't be able to go or to even watch it.

Will be following on my phone though and making some sweeping assumptions based on what I read.

Just seen Okonkwo is out for 6 weeks which is a pisser, wrist fracture from one of those Clough thugs last week apparently. Our backup Callum Burton has looked fairly capable from the chances he's had in the cups this season though.

 

[Stocky]

Okonkwo ducking the Stocky test again. Mansfield tried to nobble Hinchliffe last season but their lad came off worse. Cloughie/Nigel thinks his lads are choirboys, very far from the truth.

 

[dan_wrexhamafc]

Massive blow for us with Arthur out for a while. Burton has looked alright in the few games he's played but Arthur's been brilliant this season

 

[HutchECFC]

Burton will get a bit of stick against our lot on the 23rd then.. So can't wait for him to have a blinder and probably save a penalty

 

[AmberAndy]

Oh god nearly Saturday again! Our squad is so thin now, you can literally see right through it. Barnsley have been consistently the best team we have played over the last 3 years in terms of their performance against us, so what could possibly go wrong on Saturday. I’ll settle for being in the game at half time this week and see where it takes us. Lavery might make the bench on Sat, but I’m not holding my breath. Stokes has broken down in training, Longelo, Gibbons and Digby all out for a prolonged period. Reyes and Kaikai out on international duty. No need for us to put a bench out for our subs, a couple of fishing chairs will do. 3-1 loss incoming.
