Pre-match views:

sedgleyimp: “I’d go with an extra player in midfield as that’s a formation we really need to have a closer look at and this game would be the perfect one to do it in…

Plus our non-league loanees don’t have a game that night so…

Wright
Mitchell – O’Connor – Eyoma
Benn – Smith – Erhahon – Bishop – Brown
Shodipo – Kendall

Subs: Jensen, Roughan, Hamilton, Duffy, Makama, Mandroiu, Gallagher.

We really need to have a closer look at how Kendall is doing. 1 match may be a bit harsh to make a final decision on him in an Imps shirt but (assuming his deal expires next summer) it’s at that point where we can’t just rely upon reports from Dagenham.”

mikeosullivan: “Roughan needs to play LCB to get back some confidence.

If Benn is injured we need to bring Ahui back to play if that is allowed.

Agree re Kendall. If allowed by his loan then give him a game.

Wright in goal. Gallagher and Smith to play. The rest can be players who stand the least chance of picking up an injury. And that rules out Jackson and Bishop.

A narrow 1-0 win.”

TrickyImps!: “I’d like to see Duffy at wing-back, especially as Brown has previously played on the left of a back 3 for Wednesday. Fingers crossed a few of the loanees/younger lads get a chance as well.

Wright

Eyoma – Cann – Brown

Ahui – Bishop – Gallagher – Smith – Duffy

Makama – Kendall”
