Will Stephens be better on the right with Schlotterbeck?

One hopes so 

[Saint Fan CaM]

So our defence today is Bree - Clusterfuck - Schlotterbeck - Welington? Lovely.🤭😉

[Baird of the land]

Can see the logic of the Stephens choice, you'd expect us to have more of the ball, which suits stephens more than wood.

Wood is quicker, more physical, a better header and reads the game better than Stephens - so in his case this isn't a sensible argument. I think he's done it be cause "it's only Lincoln" and Jack can save face, by looking like he's part of a rotation.

100% this

You wanted Tonda sacked every week last season. Have you not worked out he has more tactical nous than Saintsweb posters yet?

Speak for yourself

[Patches O Houlihan]

For me Wood is the football equivalent of:

"I don't need a gun; I've got a Donk"

Not the sharpest tool - but effective in the right circumstances - and away at Lincoln would certainly be one of those.

Jack Stephens will score today from a corner.

[sadoldgit]

Given that Shlotterbeck had a couple of Captain Jack moments against Birmingham I’m not sure of the wisdom of pairing up these two. As we know, Stephens is weak in the air too. 
Other than that happy to see JWP start and it looks pretty good on paper.

At some point Mubama is going to have to start and needs more game time though.

Looking at today’s entire match day squad, who would you leave out when Jander is fit? Edozie? Stephens?

For which side though? 🤔

[Cuddles]

Loving the bants 😂😂

[SaintStinger]

Matsuki is due a goal, so I reckon he'll score today.

[davefizzy14]

3-0 to us today - Larin, Scienza and Prowsey (free kick!) 😊 COYR 😊

[64saint]

JWP to score today 

[Patrick Bateman]

Is the Saints match on fking Sky or not?? All I can see is them talking about Blackburn, on every Sky Sports channel, even Sky+ which is supposed to be Lincoln vs Saints?

Needs to be 4-0 as Stephens is scoring today. Or 4-3 😂

I would think it's likely Larin will come off earlier this game, maybe on the hour, so Mubama should get 30 mins+ hopefully. Ideally, the plan would be to be a couple of goals up by then but as we know it doesn't always go to plan with Saints!

Sky sports +. Channel 404 👍

[saint francis]

"Imps".  Never knew that.  How lame. 😄

[hypochondriac]

It's not like the defence didn't still look shaky in the week. I'd lime us to try some combinations to see what works. Bree is a definite but the others all have various weaknesses and combinations are usually the key rather than individuals. Stephens will know he has to perform or he's out.

Every league game that isn't 3pm on a Saturday is on Sky. The way they are doing the build up by talking about all of the 12.30 televised is no different to what they've ever done.

Welcome - but wait till Stephens makes his first howler 🤣

[Patches O Houlihan]

JWP seemed tp be giving the pre-match huddle team talk 

[whelk]

We are lucky not be 2-0 down already 

[adrian lord]

Wake up!!!

[obelisk]

An up and under from the kick off. Saints not comfortable.

[Mr X]

Why do we always start games so poorly? 

[Saint NL]

Great start.

I do like the camera angle in this stadium though

[adrian lord]

Lincoln look generally tall and big, pressing game. I guess we’ll be waiting for them to fatigue and then we’ll slice through them.

[Saint NL]

They're winning the ball back so easily.

[adrian lord]

That’s two touches and two terrible mistakes from Wellington

He's not had a great start....

[Toadhall Saint]

Are Lincoln the new Wimbledon 

[captainchris]

How on earth are we allowing us to start games like this all the time…

[Saint Fan CaM]

Not looking great at the moment.

[Baird of the land]

Our cm area is as limited as I feared.

[PerthshireSaint]

Missed the presser is there any update on Jander at all ?

[RedArmy]

Manning would be having a field day down that left flank today.

Still "hoping" he'll play before the international break ...

[saint michael]

When we cross we always seem to play it backwards and behind the attackers. Would like to see us hang it up a bit

Yeah, this is the late 1980s version but not quite as brutish under today’s laws.

Mind you, I’m also getting Ian Branfoot Southampton early 1990s flashbacks.

So would their right winger.
