One of the benefits of being a league club, you get an improved standard of debate :-)

I was'nt having a dig per-se, despite living a handful of miles from the Shay and admitting to an obvious bias at the outset of my original post -- I would suggest that that to guarantee safety, fifty points are required and averaging a point a match is'nt going to get any team to that target.

The bottom line is you are going to need to score some goals and what I saw last night despite creating some good openings, in all honesty you very rarely looked liked putting the ball in the back of the net. Again despite some good approach work there was often not a Stanley player aware or even close to making the final touch, all against a lightweight defence, 'you' will undoubtedly encounter better defences in the division and as such will not be allowed to build-up like you did against then Imps -- I briefly scanned through some other of 'your' match reports and see a common theme emerging.

What I have seen of teams in this league down the years it just struck me that you may well be scrapping for points to ensure you avoid the dreaded drop into oblivion at the end of the season, playing good football in this league does not equal safety. My opinion is, along with a with a clutch of other North West teams you may well be looking nervously over your shoulder come Late April early May.

A long winded way of saying we are gonna have to scrap to survive

I knew that in May , Mr Marty:D

Re: Lincoln v Accy
 

Spoke to the legendary "Haggis" after last night's match,he also thinks it's gonna be a long hard season,and a striker would have been a good idea!

Re: Lincoln v Accy
 

Imps fan here, first a belated welcome back to the league. Thought last night was an excellent advert for the division, two sides trying to play football in the right way, although the two sendings off were deserved for the tackles they did not reflect the game as a whole.
As previously stated if you can find a player that can actually shoot straight you will do well. But take it from me there are sides in this league with much less talent than you showed last night and over the season you will consolodate and be ok come May.
All the best for the rest of the season and beat the Boscum and Cods for us!.

Cheers Lincoln fans for coming on here and giving us constructive posts instead of the usual abuse. I enjoyed my night in Lincoln despite the result, standing next to Coxy I didn't need a drink, only joking.
The food in your bar was top class and well priced, drinking from plastic glasses is not something I enjoy but the barmaid who served me made up for that. Friendly stewards and security was good not like the Hitler's at Stockport, if I pay £17 for a seat in should be up to me if I want to use it, your stewards allowed me to make that choice.

Re: Lincoln v Accy
 

the only problem is our stewards dont give a crap about anything!! Occasionaly in the big derbys we will get trouble and they will do nothing. Theres been so many reports of stewards just standing and watching fights and also antagonising aswel. They are getting better but..... hey at least they let us stand up lol

Re: Lincoln v Accy
 

stand up - if you love sitting down
stand up - if you love...........

ah forget it

Re: Lincoln v Accy
 

Thanks for that, really pleased with the Lincoln fans response.

Your counter attacking style is not what we want at the moment, to be honest.
And you may well have noticed that our lads need a few more touches than are allowed at this level.

Anyway, hope all Lincoln fans enjoy the return leg, February is usually dry, but bring a brolly anyway.

Just a thought: your stripes don't flatter the larger supporter, do they?

If one of supporters known as fat kid ( star of TV progrmamme Tricia) comes up to yours in February you will know how right you are.
