Lincoln Match Thread
 

Hi all
Me again - keeping you as up to date as I can manage with proceedings here at Sincil Bank.

Team news is in and Stanley are unchanged from Saturday's game at Macclesfield in both the starting eleven and on the bench.

I'll fire you the line up in a moment.

It's a filthy night in Lincolnshire - freezing cold and pouring with rain. The pitch has some water on it but should be fine.

Dan

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

That line up is Dunbavin, Lees, Kempson, Edwards, Winnard, McConville, Ryan, Procter, Miles, Symes, Grant. Subs: Kee, Turner, Mullin, Murphy, King, Flynn, Bouzanis

Our old mate Drewe Broughton starts for Lincoln... I'll have their line-up in a bit

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

first big shock of the evening then, the side stays the same:eek:

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

They should have a big point to prove to Coley, for keeping the faith with them

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Cannot see the justification in starting with the same Team - in my opinion, just hope that I am wrong, wrong, wrong!!!!! :rolleyes: :) :) :)

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

At least with King on the bench, we have somebody with a point to prove :rolleyes: :)

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Teams emerging from the tunnel. Stanley all in yellow.

That's VERY likely to be mud brown by the end for most!!!!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

that would require more effort than Saturday then;)

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

We're off. Stanley kicking right to left as I look at it. Stanley fans making a massive racket in the top left corner of the big co-operative stand opposite me.

The lads have started well. Early pressure

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Rain has stopped!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Good luck to the Reds, we do need a big performance and a early goal would settle the side down I am sure

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

6 mins - first chance - Miles lines one up from the edge of the box- deflected behind for a corner.

Miles takes - tame header from Edwards straight @ GK

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Good job they are playing away then :D

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

no reserves tonight D

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

9 mins - Lincoln's Chris Herd is picked out free at the back post from a free kick - he fires wide though...

10 mins Herd crosses for Broughton who heads wide of the right hand post

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Waterlogged pitch :rolleyes::)

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Stanley free kick on the edge of the box...

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

was looking forward to that later on LFC TV:mad:

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Symes shanks it HORRIBLY wide

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Are they trying to say the Ultra's are all divi's or is it they are a caring sharing lot ? :D

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Grant dispossesses a defender on the edge of the box but fires his shot over...

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Mid point of the first half and both keepers have had little to do.

The pitch is far from great and the standard isn't high

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

29 mins -GOALLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!
Symes plays a through ball into the box for Grant, who latches onto it and pokes it into the bottom right corner.
0-1!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Bobby - Bobby Grant, Bobby - Bobby Graantt!!!!!!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Ahhh that's nice to hear .. good man Bobby!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

16 for Grant, that's now 30 for Grant and Symes this season :eek: :)

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

34 - good feet from Ryan allow him to feed Lees up from right back. he crosses to the back stick where Procter heads goalwards, but his effort comes down off the crossbar.

Close!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Imps sub, Ian Pearce on for Nathan Baker.

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

The Stanley policy might be to get at Pearce now. He isn't the youngest and has been suffering from a bug in the run up to the game...

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Showing as 1-1 on Sky now. Have Lincoln equalised?

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

4 mins til the break here - Stanley looking good

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

top stuff Dan you are a legend!

your posts remind me of the time I watched a Frank Bruno fight on Ceefax!!!!!

keep up the good work

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Correction made - still 1 - 0 to Stanley

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Good old Sky

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Come on lads, let's keep it tight until half time :)

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Lincoln have just had a great chance - Edwards missed a clearance, Steven Lennon raced in but took a touch and Winnard lashed it behind for a corner.

Sky must be rubbish. Still 1-0!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Current League 2 Scores

Hereford 2 Aldershot 0
Morecambe 1 Burton Albion 2

Go 9th as it stands, tied with 7th!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

1 min of stoppage. Lincoln on the attack

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

We males should be proud of him, by watching the game and typing it's as close to multitasking as you get :D

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

0-1 HT on the Beeb

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

decent half by the sounds, well done Redmen

Thanks for the updates Dan

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Good stuff so far we need to get that goal difference going tho, notts countys might count for alot come the end of the season.

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Could do with the Shrimps equalising again - the Welsh are doing all we could ask of them.

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

We could do with a Paul Mullin goal in the second half!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

That's half time friends...

To summarise -a quiet start from both sides, half chances knocking about in the opening 20 odd minutes. Stanley's goal came from one of their best moves - Symes had been pretty quiet until picking that pass with the outside of his right boot. Grant stayed on side, took a touch and poked it home.

If Procter had been a bit more lucky his header would have dipped under the bar, and at the other end on the stroke of half time Lennon should have scored. No idea why he took a touch and checked back when clean through. Great tackle by Winnard though.

Lincoln look pretty dangerous with Herd down their right - he'll be a threat after the break.

There's a kid's game going on now - no updates on that though!!!

Hope this is proving helpful to everyone!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

And Dave, add doing off air commentary and radio updates to the list of multitasking jobs!

I'd love to say it's an effortless breeze, but I keep forgetting what I've written and what I've said on air!!!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

It is! Thanks, Dan :)

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Hello Sherry. From all inside a freezing Sincil Bank.

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

The gaffer buried a great header in training yesterday, get him on to boost the goal difference! ;)

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Teams back out. No changes that I can see...

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

depends which goal he put it in;)

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Hi stanleyhouse. Appreciating Dan's multi-multitasking and your texts sitting here in the warm in Accy!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

We're off and running again...

McConville is by far the muddiest player. And that Coley header - I too witnessed it. Sheer class. But he was supposed to be defending!!!!!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

You're just showing off now :p

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Unfortunately it was an o.g.! Great header though :D

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Let's keep it tight early doors this half, then a few fresh legs would not go a miss :rolleyes: :)

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

For all you subs fans out there, King, Kee and Turner are all warming up

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

I see Walsall are 1-0 up at Elland Road.

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

51 - another superb pass from Symes gets Grant in behind the defence, but it's a tight angle and he slips on his backside as he tries to turn

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Lincoln making another change - in midfield this time, Stefan Oakes off and youngster Matthew Saunders on

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

And Miles has just slipped over, giving him a good shout for the muddiest player award!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

C'mon Stanley, give us some breathing space - have had too many pancakes to be chewing my fingernails !

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Two shots from Herd for Lincoln - one wide, one over

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Miles fires in a low cross from the left which is headed for Symes and Grant but defender Adam Watts slides in to put it behind

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Lincoln corner now - that man Herd causing problems again

Dealt with by the defence

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Miles has just been booked for diving...

Raced into the box, shoulder to shoulder with the defender and went down. In Winter Olympics parlance, very low scores for technical merit!!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Raith Rovers winning at Aberdeen in t'Cup. "They'll be dancing in the streets ...."

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

63 - last Lincoln change - big striker Lennell John-Lewis is on for midfielder Brian Gilmour

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Any more sign of our subs???

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Attendance 2779
110 visitors - power to them! Took us over three hours to get here...

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

McConville cross heade behind by Pearce. Corner

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Miles with the corner - snuffed out but he gets it back and crosses to the back stick - free header for Symes - but it clips the outside of the post and goes into the side netting. Should have hit the target

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Lees penalised for a foul on John-Lewis. Free kick in a postion not dissimilar from a hockey corner...

Headed away and lamped over half way.

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Procter getting some treatment - will be ok though. 17 mins left...

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Phil Jevons has just scored for the Shrimps to put us up to 8th!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Good ol' shrimps!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

75 - Symes races through down the left, gets into the box and gets a left foot shot away. Looks destined for the right corner, but the keeper gets down and pushes it behind.

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Get Turner on for McConville now and stretch them a bit!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Much too early for that!! :rolleyes: :)

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Lennon crosses from the Lincoln left, but Dunbavin holds Broughton's header

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

9 to go. People are leaving!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Lincoln corner after great Herd volley deflected behind.

Stanley clear.

7 to go

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

83 - GOAL - heartbreak. ball to the edge of the box - flicked on and finds Lennon who finished coolly.

1-1

Re: Lincoln Match Thread

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

1-1 lennon.:eek:

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

It's been coming, from your updates Dan :( :(

Re: Lincoln Match Thread

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Couldn't put it better myself :(

Re: Lincoln Match Thread

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Paul's just scored for the Shrimps to move us from 10th to 9th!

Oops, sorry, we're still 10th and Morecambe move above us!

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Too good ol' shrimps now ...

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
 

Unbelievable. 2-1 to Lincoln.

Cross in from left, not cleared at back, drilled across and hit either John-Lewis or a defender.

Defeat

Re: Lincoln Match Thread

Re: Lincoln Match Thread
