Brilliant appointment I think.

I've not seen too much of Braintree, but they seem to be hard working, play some decent football and move it quickly. Unfortunately, I feel there's only so far you can take a PT team with that sort of intensity, the play-off semis showed that when they'd played twice in a few days, hot day and down to 10 men.

Cowley certainly has the attitude needed to succeed at this level, I'd like to think Lincoln will challenge next year if Daggers don't hit the ground running a la Cheltenham. That is of course assuming Grimsby go up tomorrow :2thumb:
Both relegated teams have come down with barely a whimper, 34 points a piece.
They will certainly both need to what Cheltenham did by bringing in a completely new team and gelling them together quickly and using the parachute payment of 800k wisely.

Daggers looked very good against us the other week, think if they recruit wisely they have a manager who has been there and done it.

Braintree's GK Coach has opted to leave and 'will be moving on'. Putting 2+2 together and possibly getting 5...

Physio Kevin Oxby now gone. He's the last of the previous backroom team to leave.

The Club certainly backing DC/NC with their backroom team requirements (in the last 5/6 years, managers have had to work with the backroom team still here from other appointments), although admittedly they'll just be replacing the wages that are freed up by these departures. The Assistant, GK Coach and Physio were just on 12 month rolling contracts anyway to they've just expired rather than having to pay to get rid.

I hope Cowley does well at Lincoln this season, obviously not as well as Wrexham though, but he deserves a shot at managing a full time club after last season. A bit like Wilkin did with us and it all feels very similar to that situation. I still think he was a better manager than he came across and if we didn't have so many big personalities that just accepted Wilkin's way (like he had at Nuneaton), I think he would have done better. A bad manager doesn't manage to flirt with the play offs with a part time side and Cowley went one better.

I watched his Concord Rangers side on a number of occasions. Hard working, difficult to break down, quick out of defence, and no prima-donnas. If he can get the personalities right at Lincoln, the football will follow.

It's about time Lincoln went back up. They might just do it now.

Finally a couple of backroom staff additions! No GK Coach yet, mind.

Mike Hines, physio and sport science and Ross Poyton, fitness coach. Worked with them both before apparently.
