The snow that was on the rooftops last night and this morning has mostly melted and it isn't currently raining in Lincoln, the treetops however are moving with a fair amount of vigour.
High winds, slippery pitch. Needs a side who can play quick passing football out from the back rather than hoof it into a gale, press hard to win the ball deep in the opposition half and capitalise on mistakes. In other words, Bloomball!
It’s always interesting to see how the teams reacts when their nearest rivals are playing in the early kick-off. A Birmingham win and they’ll be itching to get top spot back. A Birmingham defeat and the prospect of potentially being 5 points clear at 5pm…that’s a whole different challenge, mentally.

Come On You Blues!

COYB!
Will be a distinct wind advantage either half!

I feel really confident going into today. COYB.
Lincoln should expect no mercy.
Because none will be given.
This will be a very tough game and a draw would be a good result.
Obviously would love the win though. COYB!!!!!
Birmingham 2-0 down at Shrewsbury!
Aaron Pierre doing the business. Headbutt hero
Shrews 2-0 Birmingham.
Can always rely on Gareth
Now 2-1 at Shrewsbury. Salop have had 19.5% possession according to the BBC
Why can’t I find the Shrewsbury game on Sky+?
3 1
How Ainsworth wasn't offered the England job I do not know
Explained in the other football thread...not a sky selected game, merely a game moved forward.
I’m watching the Bolton v Blackpool (s)crap. Dreadful commentary too.
Thanks @Malone.
COME ON YOU BLUES!!!
It's still watchable but you either to whack a tenner down to watch officially or find it for free on the net.
But I and others are summarising the action on the other football thread to help out. And revel in it!
McCleary is back (on the bench)! Great news
Could have the chance to go FIVE points clear. Bloody hell, I need a lie down.
After talk of crutches that is huge.
Would very happily take a point today, it'll be a really tough game. Then again, I said exactly the same before Stockport away... COYB!
Lot of focus on the Shrews game around Gaz, Dobbo, Pierre but if they can hold on then that league table is looking very nice for us.
Starting: Ravizzoli, Harvie, Leahy (c), Udoh, Low, Humphreys, Kone, Morley, Pattenden, Taylor, Onyedinma.
Subs: George, Grimmer, Wheeler, Butcher, McCleary, Hanlan, Lubala.
I know we're all clued up enough to work it out, but I wish they'd display the line-up in order of position and not by number.
You don't fancy Udoh at CB and Taylor up front?
And if we’re going to go by squad number fully commit to it and not list Rav first.
Taylor up front could come in handy tbf
I get reading the team out over the PA by number, I just feel listing it that way is going to confuse the less familiar fan.
I’m late to the party as usual but welcome back @flymofrank.
I know, drives me mad
