Kelly is perfectly capable of playing higher up the pitch, if he's allowed. For me, the first 10 minutes at Mansfield is as good as we've started a game as a team this season.

For me, the first 10 minutes at Mansfield is as good as we've started a game as a team this season.One shot, (and that from a penalty), has become the norm when Kelly and Doyle are together in CM. A draw at home will not be good enough, so I'd revert to Bayliss and Doyle for this one. That'd be harsh on Kelly, who had a decent game against Wycombe. Given that we don't have a decent RM, would it make sense to try Kelly on the right? I expect Robins will name an unchanged team and we will therefore struggle to score.

I have knee problems, not severe but aching, so if I am walking a lot or going to football I put elastic tubular strapping on.Might order some later, I'm usually warm enough everywhere apart from knee caps from sitting down and the wind being on them.
You wouldn’t be , my son lives in Horncastle so there would be a few of you !I live in lincoln, weather is shocking. My mates seem to think it is touch and go about being on. Travel is chaotic at the moment, I woukd be gutted if called off. Travelling with the imps sittingcwith the cov. Hopefully I’m the only one smiling on way back
Well their team has to be able to make it here .Really hoping the game is on - seems an age since we've been at Ricoh...
Surely weather in Lincoln has no effect on whether game is on - Coventry is getting away quite lightly so far so should be ok. It'll be a shame if some of the 4k imps can't make it but doubt they'd make the Tuesday re-arranged date anyway!
Why do they?Well their team has to be able to make it here .
Not sure what Mike Dean, but he's being punished for something
A decent ref to assist Doyle will be good for us, against a physical side.
I do agree with ISSS and am a bit worried that Mike Dean will want to play the Uriah Rennie role.
However the only way is forwards so 5-0 City, Vincenti for Bayliss only because he needs a break. Haynes and Shipley on the left with Reid to come on in the second half when its a bit warmer for him.
Hyam to keep his place.
Two pairs of socks for me.
Got a good feeling that this will be the Kyel Reid show, and he is going to rip Lincoln apart.
He rips it up one in 10 games. HEs worth a punt as an impact substitute like at Wycombe.
Lincoln are big and physical team, we need the flair but we also need to match it up!
Shipley injured?I though Shipley was injured, so assuming Reid will start?
Shipley injured?
No. Eakins said that Alderson was injuredI'm pretty sure Clive Eakin said that Shipley came off against Wycombe because he was injured, unless he got it wrong?
Shipley was limping quite badly at the end of the match on Tuesday.I'm pretty sure Clive Eakin said that Shipley came off against Wycombe because he was injured, unless he got it wrong?
Damn not good.Shipley was limping quite badly at the end of the match on Tuesday.
Not been that far, but have been to the roundabout further down towards Foleshill Road and Holbrooks and it's not bad at all.Damn not good.
Anyway how are roads and pavements looking like around Coventry and particularly around the ricoh arena Is tgere significamt snow/ice.
Very little snow up to now.Damn not good.

Sorry meant to add roads and paths all clear.Very little snow up to now.
Theres snow predicted this afternoon.Very little snow up to now.
Would think their team will attempt travel today. we're supposed to get 6-7 hrs of snow overnight but likely only a few Cms.Theres snow predicted this afternoon.
I think the main concern will be getting the lincoln supporters from lincoln to Coventry safely, not sure if the authorities at both clubs will look at it in tgat much depth. Lincoln and those parts do seem to be hit very hard.
Wish everyone safe travels for tommorow and no doubt lots will start their weekend away tonight.
WATCH : Danny Cowley Previews Coventry
Interesting listening to Cowley.
He thinks in his opinion 3 best teams in league squad wise are Luton, Mansfield and Cov.
Also shares his opinions about Evans /Flitcroft.

Lincoln have/are liaising with both CCFC and EFL and the game is on at present. Main roads are good, it is just getting to them!!Fresh snowfall has stopped since Wednesday, but due some tonight. I think everyone is keen to keep it going for Saturday. I think we are in great form and really want it to go ahead now. We are just building momentum, lincoln are struggling but Cowley is a good manager so will not be easy. Still think we can win by 2. An early goal for us will silence them and turn the fans against each other, lot of squabbling especially regarding “plastic bandwagon fans” sound familiar ? LolTheres snow predicted this afternoon.

Would be interesting to see. I'm the kind of person that would much rather play, especially at thispoint in the season, motivated by putting a marker down for all the other teams and making them feel the pressure of knowing they have to win to match us.Don't know why apart from my gut but If most of our competitors are postponed I'd rather we were as well, always think psychologically those who play following anothers confirmed result gain an edge.
Don't know If that stacks up statistically just my take.
