Town Make Three Changes at Lincoln
Sunday, 29th Dec 2019 14:20

Town boss Paul Lambert has made three changes for this afternoon’s game at Lincoln City with Andre Dozzell and Flynn Downes returning to the midfield and skipper Luke Chambers at the back.

The Blues, playing their final game of the decade, again look set to line-up in a 4-4-2 system with Chambers - returning from his one-match ban - alongside Luke Woolfenden at the heart of the defence and Luke Garbutt and Janoi Donacien the full-backs. Will Norris continues in goal.

Dozzell and Downes are in the centre of midfield with Gwion Edwards on the right and Alan Judge on the left with James Norwood and Kayden Jackson up front.

Cole Skuse and Jon Nolan are missing from the squad having not travelled after suffering minor knocks on Boxing Day, while Toto Nsiala was also left out of the 18. Freddie Sears will again be hoping for action from the bench.

Lincoln, unchanged from their 1-0 Boxing Day defeat at Oxford, include former Town loanee Callum Connolly among their subs.

Lincoln: Vickers, Toffolo, Bolger, Bostwick, Eardley (c), Morrell, O’Connor, Anderson, Hesketh, Grant, Walker. Subs: Smith, Payne, Chapman, Connolly, Melbourne, Lewis, Akinde.

Town: Norris, Donacien, Woolfenden, Chambers (c), Garbutt, Dozzell, Downes, Edwards, Judge, Norwood, Jackson. Subs: Holy, Wilson, Sears, El Mizouni, Kenlock, Huws, Keane. Referee: James Oldham (Derbyshire).

Our early season form came with Holy in goal.. he's OUR goalkeeper... not a loanee!!! Apart from that it's the most balanced side we have put out for a good few weeks! If this team is not capable of beating Lincoln no disrespect.. serious questions need to be asked if lambert really is the man for the job! COYB

dissyboyitfc - what about Huws, best player in the league and he is used in the leasing.com- sparingly, absolute sH*TE, he will be off in jan. and who can blame him.
Agree about Holy, how can you drop your own player to play a loan one just so they don't recall him - ludicrous.
As someone quite rightly pointed out on another thread, even if evans gave lambert some money to spend in jan. who in their right mind would come here to play 2 games a month.
Absolutely disgraceful, we are itfc in league 1 not Liverpool chasing 4 competitions(and then the likes of salah/firmino/mane/van dyke play unless injured)
PLAY A FEKIN SETTLED TEAM FOR GODS SAKE MAN

Holy should be playing. Norris is no better and made a bad mistake against Gillingham. Holy is ours, signed a contract and committed himself to the Club and done nothing to warrant being dropped in the first place. The more he plays the better he will get and the communication will improve too. There must be some agreement with Wolves/Norris that he will be given a certain number of games. He has said he is 'here to stay and here to play' as if he was given some kind of assurance of it. The defenders have previously come out and said that they feel confident with Holy in goal. And he has done nothing to deserve this.

I wish he'd stop playing Judge on the wing; if Lambert is determined to play him, he should at least play him in his best position in the advanced midfield role. We know Judge can be very effective there when on form, but for some reason Lambert always plays Nolan there when setting out in such a formation. This season Judge has been poor, but I believe he would have found form by now, after the issues early on, if played to his strengths.
For today I'd have liked to see Huws in for Edwards, with Downes at the base of a diamond, Judge on top & the creativity of Dozzell & Huws in the middle - oh & just tell them to go out, trust in your abilities, have fun and attack from the off.

Edwards STILL continues to start despite his invisible man performances but who else have we got on the right wing?...about time Judge contributed as well so on both wings vast improvement needed.

Fancy another one of those fortuitous wins today. COYB!

And you think it's correct to leave out Holy who is our player and hadn't done anything wrong? Suffolkboy? You have lost the plot if you agree with dropping in form players in favour of loan players who are no better! Priceless

Totally agree with Len Brennan.

Play Huws and Judge in their best positions.

When Edwards first came to us I thought he looked a great addition, but now I'm not so sure.

One thing is for sure....we need a good winger and oh! yes....a WIN.

No coincidence that things have started falling apart defensively since Holy got bizarrely dropped.

Sorry, I meant we will win this time next year.
