Enormous huge massive win, GET IN

 

[Ormergod]

Gabriel

Bless him

 

[Halifax71]

That'll do. Ugly but effective I guess.

 

[I bleed Tangerine]

Wins a win. 3 points, upto 7th, 1 point of playoffs. Somehow, our season is still alive.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Sometimes you've just got to get the job done. We needed that with Lincoln romping to another win.

 

[JJpool]

Gabriel

Bless him

Bad bobble tbf, sums the game up a bit.

 

[Costero Poderoso]

Has anyone’s TTV gone off? Or is it me shit internet?

mine as well. its was at the ttv end as well

 

[hertfordseasider]

Pitch did that

 

[Pauls_Boutique]

In a position where we can’t be dropping many points we have won away on a bobbly pitch in a dead atmosphere. A 2nd clean sheet in a row and 4th league win in 6.

I had Northampton commentary on and they were very complimentary about our defensive strengths, team set up and game management. Said that we basically stopped them from playing forwards all night. Funny that people with a vested interest in the opposition can see the qualities we have when some of our own supporters can not.

 

[20togo]

phew!

 

[tangerinesince88]

Like we were against Bolton you mean?

You’re being facetious. I think anyone with a functioning brain can see we aren’t an exciting team in general, and that’s down to tactics. Delighted to win, wish we were more fluid.

 

[JJpool]

Anyway a much needed win, thank fcuk for that.

 

[NewburyOne]

Well we made that harder work than it needed be but who cares, having seen us lose so many midweek away games it's great to have the 3pts.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Gabriel at the end.

Well at least we won and that’s about all.

Very poor game but at least another clean sheet and finally above Oxford.

 

[Macseasider]

A shite 3 points. And how bad were Northampton

 

[Marcusbeansontoast]

That’s how we should be away from home, ugly but solid

 

[agouti]

Job done, they keep teasing us, fair play.

Not great on the eye for large parts but as someone else said performances count for sweet fa at this stage.

 

[Mark_GT]

Blimey. A fisting too

 

[BestTrip]

That’s a MASSIVE 3 points

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

And some fist pumps

The season continues…

 

[Newholland]

Pleased we won….pissed off with TTV…..Lincoln will gatecrash the playoffs

 

[poolfc]

Dirty goal and a dirty win! Just what we needed.

Just hope Dembele & Norburn are OK because it almost always has to come at a cost, doesn't it.

But brilliant, a great feeling.

 

[TSSeasider]

Competent performance that.

 

[Pun_1]

Was worried about tonight due to our record away especially mid week.

We got the job done, on to the next one!

 

[Costero Poderoso]

we needed the win. more poor officiating. but not a convincing performance against a side that were absolutely awful.

 

[glasshalffull]

Great result, and still at the races. Not achieved without casualties unfortunately, and Lincoln moving like a steam train!

 

[Mark_GT]

Pennington and Marv superb

And Casey. Our problem now is we are fast running out of midfielders.

 

[Mike_BFC]

We did what we had to do, no complaints from me. That is our best back 3!

 

[Torycorner]

We are SHIT!

Sadler is SHIT!!

Critchley is SHIT!!!

The Team are SHIT!!!!

How can we only win 1-0 Away on a Tuesday Night!!!

Where is the consistency????!!!!!

Why did we not lose????!!!!!

Oh!!! Watch my text barrage come in for the last few seats on my ONLY coach to Wigan on Saturday

It's often the way, when it's your side you can feel like you're not going to score but when you're the defending side it can feel under pressure.

We did OK on a terrible pitch, could have been a bit more clinical with a few half chances later on. Defended well overall.

 

[Reason]

Good win. They were bad but then again I also thought they were bad in the reverse fixture and we only drew that. We didn't look like conceding today. We have improved somewhat. Marv and Coulson very good. Grimshaw's distribution and all round competence very welcome!

 

[L’étranger]

Almost the perfect away performance. Controlled the game from start to finish, defended doggedly and took our chance(s) when they came along.
Same again on Saturday!

 

[65 & Counting]

A brilliant result. 3 points away is a real tonic.

 

[TangerineBayern]

Pennington and Marv superb

And Casey

 

[Always tangerine]

I think we played pretty well apart from not creating enough chances. Coulson and Byers looked good . We need to keep them for next season if we can.More solid at the back.
Injuries to midfield players could damage us though

 

[Insider]

Norburn’s a liability get him off FFS.

Norburn did alright and I'm not his biggest fan.

 

[agouti]

That’s how we should be away from home, ugly but solid

Yeah enough about the fans, what about the team.....

 

[tommytwojags]

Lincoln are far and away the best side in the division since they decided to import half of the Irish league. Jack Moylan, Danny Mandroiu, captain Paudie O’Connor and Dylan Duffy have changed their play completely.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

A shite 3 points. And how bad were Northampton

No such thing!

 

[Tangerine phil]

Great result and we need Peterborough to win tomorrow

 

[Chunkylad]

Get in, freezing cold, boring ground but loved that win.

I swear you lot will never be happy. We don’t play any worse a brand of football than any of the top teams barring perhaps Peterborough. It’s L1 ffs

 

[CAGU]

Meanwhile Bolton hit 5 against Oxford.

Well we beat them 4-1

Meanwhile Bolton hit 5 against Oxford.

 

[Sven]

Shite game but three points.

Lincoln flying and Oxford in free fall. They play each other soon and we might be cheering on Oxford.

 

[fcblackpool]

Didn't one of our Irish fans say we should sign Paudie?

And the notion that fans can't make suggestions is poo-pooed as if the scouting network is Chinese AI up to date.

 

[CAGU]

Dirty goal and a dirty win! Just what we needed.

Just hope Dembele & Norburn are OK because it almost always has to come at a cost, doesn't it.

But brilliant, a great feeling.

Dembele appeared to be walking ok in his track suit at full time, probably just cramp - hope so!

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Norburn did alright and I'm not his biggest fan.

I was referring to him towards the end of the game when he was carrying an injury and we didn’t take him off till he finally be went down.
Yes he played one of his better games tonight.

 

[Costero Poderoso]

byers looks class, Coulson im taking a shine to, works hard, defensively is fairly solid and got an eye for a clever ball.

 

[tangysider]

Danny Mandroiu was mentioned on here a few times

TangerineDub off here picked out Danny Mandriou a couple of years ago before he got his move over.
