Nothing less than 3 points required and expected against Shrewsbury, ahead of the international break.

Cambridge @ home.. They're dreadful by all accounts, 1 point all season, 2 away goals scored, bottom of the league, we've kept 3 clean sheets in a row in the league, solid at the back, making chances up top...

1-0 defeat incoming

Keep seeing on our own forum that some see our game against blackpool as a free hit ,what a load of garbage imo ,we should be looking to win despite our injuries we are where we are on merit ,yes weve played five of the bottom six but weve also,played three of the top seven

I still say I fancy anyone at home, and this is no different. We are a totally different animal when we play at home compared to away, and PP sounded pee'd off about our performances from players so will expect a reaction. Also Mullin will score on the weekend. He needs a goal more than wants one I think to get him up and running.

That would require us taking the lead, which we haven't yet managed this season.

I mean shit son, Rotherham hadn't won away in 2 years and still beat us by accident, you'll cream us at home.

When we played Birmingham in the Carabao, we played really well and were unlucky with the 1-0 loss. We've regressed so far since then and I expect us to lose comfortably without much of a fight. Icing on the top of the cake will be when Alfie May inevitably scores

What are Wigwam like? I know they've had three goalless draws recently so I presume a very tight side

Inform Mansfield and Blackpool take each other on at field mill

On average there’s 3.25 goals in each game involving Mansfield and 3.44 goals in blackpool’s, blackpool have scored in every game apart from 1, whereas Mansfield are yet to draw a blank and feature league 1s top goalscorer at present - 0-0 anyone?

Think after picking up yet another defensive injury tuesday we’re very likely to concede and reckon we’d need at least 2 to get a point by the looks of it.

I’ll go for 2-2

Orient at home.

They were two close games last season between us, we scored very late in both games to win 1-0. Can't imagine Orient have changed their style so I'm expecting the same type of games again.

We're without Adam Jackson (suspended), Ben House (broken nose) and Zak Jeacock (concussion). Sounds like we might have both Hamilton and Hackett available, which will be a boost - especially with Hamilton because we need at least one of him and McGrandles available to balance the midfield. House is a big miss for us, he's so good at leading the line.

We're not free scoring so I can't see too many goals in this one.

I think we get beat on Saturday, Blackpool are not just on a new manager bounce I actually think they will be in a promotion race, and in Rob Apter (gave us fits last season and we tried to sign him this summer) and CJ Hamilton they have something we struggle with - pace!

A lot depends on if Cargill and Gregory are fit or not after going off at half time against Tuesday, we are already missing around half our starting eleven and although we’ve won four on the bounce it’s against two sides I'm certain will go down, and two others that will probably not be far off.

I think if we’ve got a fully fit squad we can compete with the better sides in the division on our day like against Barnsley but a roughly assembled defence and potentially missing our star striker is too much to ask, I have a feeling Gregory may be okay though.

Sure at the very least it’ll be entertaining, I will be very happy if we get a point.

Charlton away, i do expect a tough test, they have some talented players and Jones appears to not know his best side as yet, once he does i still think Charlton will make play offs.

Never been to the valley before so another new gaff to tick off the list.

Barring a massive change in playstyle, this won't be a tough test. We are woeful all over the pitch. I expect Jones to make a lot of changes but that's likely to just cause more disruption

I hear the Lincoln away end has had a makeover and actually has proper toilets now…..!

Week before last we scored 6 in 2 games, Last week we scored 0 in 2 games.

Taking chances is a big issue for us, we’re too reliant on Kelman, Agyei and Galbraith for goals.

Our record at Lincoln is also crap, only 2 wins spring to mind in 2001 and 2004. We don’t usually play well there.

Any Leyton Orient fans coming up tomorrow are going to have fun on the trains. There's engineering works around Newark Northgate for next 3 weekends so believe any direct trains or trains that go via Newark Northgate are a no go as bus replacement. The Nottingham to Lincoln route still open via Newark Castle so you'll be best going via Nottingham, then changing. What a faff!

Oh I doubt it?

3 days for the new manager to change things. I know he likes to play with wing backs but we don't have one at the club, our one full back has disappeared (no word on why which is worrying) which leaves our wingers having to drop deeper. Plus, anewmanager bounce can't stop us being powder puff.

I was going to go but then I found they've shut the m25 and Wycombe want £27 from me. The m25 being shut is the killer. I could start out now and not get there in time!

Can confirm the toilets are good at Lincoln, that’s about it in the away end mind!

On the plus side, if they're over 65 they can get a free flu jab at the ground tomorrow!

Like Mansfield, we have many injuries, and after so many matches in the space of 3 weeks, our players look leggy. As shown by own late goal conceded against Lincoln. I can see this ending in a draw before a much needed international break. I'd be over the moon with a win. It's going to be a battle. Mansfield are 3rd for a reason. UTP!

We smashed them up there the season before last. Probably would have done better last season had the ginger belter not got a red
These are the games we need to win but MT doesnt seem to do away wins

Train up is via a change at Peterborough or Nottingham. I was going to do it until I saw that, 3 hour trip now instead of 1h50.

Yep I'm going via Nottingham tomorrow, noticed this a month ago.

Bit of a faff, but I have seen worse in my time.

Sold 471 as of yesterday.

Every Lincoln train I've got this season from direction of Nottingham has been standing room only. With no Newark Northgate trains, we're going to be packed in like sardines tomorrow.

Yeah certainly adds to it. Think there's usually 6 direct trains a day every 2 hours to and from London, with loads of other easy connections from Newark. Normally an easy trip. Never done Orient away, but planning on doing this season.

You was saying three days ago you had the squad to be promoted???
Plenty of teams have a decent 11, but one or two injuries they start to get found out.
Especially if teams are still involved in cup games.

We've not been playing that well, I think we'll need to up our game tomorrow to get anything against what looks like a decent Wigan side. They have 5 clean sheets on the bounce so must be fairly well put together at the back.

Would like to see a bit more up and at them style tomorrow. Edgeley Park loves it when we get our pressing spot on and we get men forward with pace, it really can take or leave the over elaborate build up play.

We've got 8 injured. We've been playing Saturday and Tuesday for 3 weeks straight. Bar Birmingham, this league is a rush for 2nd. Bolton and Blackpool included. If Lincoln didn't score in the 96th minute we'd be 5 wins out of 5 and joint 2nd.

As have everybody else.......Most teams have a full quota of players, but when the crunch comes to the crunch really only have 14/15 league one players and another 10 who wont play unless called upon.
Blackpool look to have a decent team and i cannot comment on your squad as i have not taken a look
