Assuming Easter & Sinclair are out and there are no new injuries worries then I'd go with:-
Puddy
Leadbitter McChrystal Parkes Brown
Dawson Wakefield Mansel Monkhouse
Harrison Taylor

It's tricky because none of us have a clue what Wakefield is like as a player and whether he has the discipline to play in a midfield 2. I hope he does as it would make team selection relatively straightforward:
GK: Mildenhall (having put his faith in him ahead of an in-form Puddy for the last game it wouldn't make sense to drop him now) RB: Lockyer CB: Parkes CB: McChrystal LB: Brown LM: Monkhouse (tempted to put him in the centre again but he links well with Brown) CM: Mansell CM: Wakefield (slotting into a team where everyone bar Dawson knows their positions very well will help) RM: Dawson (time for him to show us what he can do) CF: Blisset CF: Taylor
Bench: Puddy, Trotman, Gosling, Balanta, Harrison

Automatic promotion is gone. Lincoln are away from home. Time to tinker a little.

Probably not the best idea dropping an in-form Taylor. Resting Matty T. Didn't do him any harm earlier in the season. Besides, I want other players to step up to the plate. Play Ellis & Angie in Attack and see if they got what it takes.

We've played one game in a fortnight, & 2 in 3 weeks?, why the hell would Taylor need a rest, particularly when he's probably on a high after his England C recall?

Play Ellis & Angie in Attack and see if they got what it takes. I think he was more dropped than rested earlier in the season to give him a kick up the backside. Seeing we've only played 3 times in 36 days I wouldn't say he needed a rest.

Cue comment from tbone that Mattteee's not in the full squad so the call-up doesn't count.... I agree. The lad's got better than a goal every other game since he was dropped (7 in 13). Hardly warrants dropping him again, does it?

I think we need to go attacking this week and judging on DCs usual reluctance to put an on loan playerr straight in I would go with the following.
Mildenhall
Lockyer Parkes McCrystal Brown
Dawson Mansell Balanta Monkhouse
Blissett Taylor
Subs Harrison Wakefield Trotman Gosling Puddy
Don't think it would be the greatest idea to drop Mildy after one game back although I didn't agree with dropping Puddy.

I think we all know without Sinclair we haven't got much of a team. To add to this our potential bit of quality up front - Easter is probably out. Players like Balanta - hardly played, Gosling - a waste of time if stuck out on the right ; new signings Dawson and Wakefield - untried !!
I would hope we can keep a solid spine and squeeze a win out because we desperately need one. Taylor despite missing chances has been consistently one of our best 3 or 4 players.
I hope we will have some width tomorrow after all we've got a fecking good pitch to utilise, So I hope we see Dawson on the right and either Gosling or Balanta on the left. To have experience down the middle I would put in Monky and Mansell. A toss up between Harrison and Blissett to partner Taylor.

Odd as it sounds but results with Sinclair are not better than when he's missing, I'm not sure what SteveK's seen in Balanta to suggest he can play CM as he looks lightweight to me for that role where you need to be able to tackle as well as pass? if Wakefield's not going to start then Monkhouse seems a better option, at least at home to Lockyer, we can then use Balanta and Dawson on the wings, with Balanta also able to play in the hole should 4-4-2 not work.
PS I only put Puddy in the team to see if posters were paying attention I can't see Mildenhall not starting on Saturday.

We get the best results at 4-4-2 id play Monkey in the middle with Mansell for some grit and experience. No point playing Lockyer there as he cant pass for toffee.
Mildenhall Brown Parkes McCrystal Lockyer Gosling Monkhouse Mansell Dawson Blissett Taylor
