“We need Akinde back up front again.”

Ahead of Saturday’s match away at Colchester United in Sky Bet League Two, we asked our members what three things they think The Imps need to do to earn all three points.

Here’s what Jamesimp said:

1. We need to rediscover the magnificent mojo we’ve had up until the last couple of games. It should be a bit easier away because the team we’re playing will be looking for a win, not playing for a draw like the last two. On the whole, we look a much better team away from home but this I believe is because of the style of play of the opposition.

2. We need Akinde back up front again, I’ll take the stick but for me, he achieved more attacking in his first ten minutes on the pitch than Rheady did beforehand. He chases and catches lost causes that he has no right to and keeps the ball active, he challenges for every header he can get near, so what if he isn’t scoring many?

3. We need our organiser Shackell back in, Bozzie can push into midfield if necessary and we can look more assured. Our lack of organisation was all too apparent in the Carlisle match, Shackell would not have made the same error as Wharton did but I’d still have Wharton alongside him whether Eardley is still injured or not.
