Lincoln v Hereford preview

Team news ahead of Saturday's FA Cup second-round replay between Lincoln and Hereford at Sincil Bank.

Adam Watts' injury has left Lincoln with only one fit centre-back for the FA Cup clash against Hereford. Watts was forced off late on in the League Two defeat at Northampton on Monday with a knee problem. It has left boss Steve Tilson with problems as Watts' partner at centre-half Danny Hone is cup-tied after playing in the competition this season during a loan spell at Darlington. Gavin Hoyte could switch to the middle but he is nursing a knock, as is another option, Paul Green. Josh O'Keefe has a tight hamstring after training on Thursday and the midfielder is a doubt. Hereford have no new injury problems or suspensions. The Bulls drew the initial meeting at Edgar Street 2-2 but the replay at Sincil Bank has been postponed three times due to the wintry conditions, with the two sides set to try and find a winner at the fifth time of asking to discover who will meet Wycombe in the third round. Manager Jamie Pitman is still without midfielder Rob Purdie (hamstring), defender Dominik Werling and striker Sean Canham (both knee), while goalkeeper Dan Connor and Ryan Valentine (both hip) remain long-term absentees. None of the Bulls' loanees have been ruled ineligible by their parent clubs and so will be available. Pitman made one change for Monday's 2-1 win at Aldershot from the team that drew 2-2 with Torquay on New Year's Day - Kenny Lunt coming in for Guillem Bauza - and he may well keep faith with the same XI.
