Ahead of Saturday’s match at Sincil Bank versus Derby County in League One, which will be refereed by Ollie Yates, we take a look at some of the pre-match discussion on the forum as well as share our quiz about last season’s match between Lincoln City and Derby County at Sincil Bank. Just how much can you remember about it? Can you get 10 out of 10? If you’re on X (Twitter), remember to share your score using the button on the results page! The quiz can be found HERE (opens in a new tab) or below the pre-match discussion!
PerthImp: “Hopefully we’ll be more front foot at home and should offer a little more threat up front. I think the key to the whole game is keeping Hourihane stifled – he makes Derby tick and if you let him he will rule the midfield. The question is, who do you put on him? Maybe, Hamilton – he’s got an engine that could work without losing too much of his creativeness. Also, keep them goalless for the first half.

Would love to see Reeco and Bishop start, but I’m guessing it’s about managing their minutes. Would like to see Reeco and Moylan come on after HT.”
Gaz_Imp: “Repeat what I said below before Wycombe!
‘I’d really like us to go 4231. Moylan, Draper and Taylor does not mean we all of a sudden have a lot of stickers and need to play them all, it means we now have three fit strikers! I want to see us build on the two Ethans, they can be the best two-man pivot in the league. With them two the defence has enough protection that we do not need to play three centre back, we need more bodies further up the pitch.

I am still not sure on a fair bit:
Duffy or Sorenson?
Could Sorenson go right back?
Or Roughan left back and Burroughs right?
Could Bishop play towards right or left and go two up top with Draper instead of Sorenson?
Moylan worth a look?
Mandriou or Bishop long-term? We need one playmaker. Or could this even be Moylan?
But I do definitely think:
Four at the back
Reeco to start if fit enough
Bishop needs to play with no Mandriou option”
