Defensive dilemma for Tilson

07 January 2011 10:00
Adam Watts` injury has left Lincoln with only one fit centre-back for the FA Cup second-round replay 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. Due to postponements, the original tie at Edgar Street was due to be played six weeks ago. League Two rivals Wycombe await the winners in round three.
