Lincoln vs Cheltenham

[Luke Imp]

Is this the game?! Quite simple really, win and we're up. Also champions if we win and Mansfield, MK and Bury all drop points but that's very unlikely to happen.

Cheltenham seem to have picked up well under Michael Duff (who played alongside Jason Shackell at Burnley for many years).

Rowe's back, which is a plus for us but I can't see Cowley changing the side from last week at MK Dons.

Is Sean Long back play, Si Robin? Seems to have been injured in 99% of his time there after a pre-season injury.

Looking on flashscore Cheltenham are very good at home but not so good away.
Had lost their previous four before winning at Crewe.
Fully expect them to sit in and try and catch us on the break like most teams when they come to us.
One ticket was available in the home areas for tomorrow when I looked earlier.
If we do go up tomorrow we'll be the first team promoted in the EFL.
Something to give Cheltenham so hope we haven't won a 3pm kick off Saturday since December 22nd .

 

[Luke Imp]

Actually, I think we can also go up with a draw if Bury lose?

 

[darren gregory]

To be fair i reckon if you lost every single game you will still go up.
So congratulations on a fantastic season.
Stiil have Cowley on the Nathan Jones level of smugness and a face i'd like to punch but that doesn't detract from an amazing season.

Well done.

 

[Si Robin]

I expect us to turn up, roll over and have our tummies tickled as Lincoln stroll to promotion.

Sean Long may well start for the first time in the league tomorrow - last week his appearance off the bench was the first I've seen of him and he seemed to do quite well.

 

[Davidimp]

Like we did for you guys in 2016 when you won the conference

 

[wangle]

Win and we're promoted and we can break our league record for most consecutive games unbeaten.

This has a Cheltenham win written all over it.

I will never get used to Lincoln not bottling the big games.

Gutted I can't be there today, I've missed enough of the last 3 years as it is. I'm just hoping I can keep it together at work but I'm not holding out much hope. I pretty much broke down when we beat Burnley in the FA Cup and won the Conference

It promises to be another memorable day.

Well you go being a journalist for another team lol

 

[Buxton Vale]

congrats on your promotion - well deserved

 

[Wooderson]

Well done Lincoln. Enjoy L1 - I reckon you’ll do ok!

 

[wangle]

Not a great game, we were poor second half and Cheltenham deserved a point. A very anti climatic promotion,half the crowd had left because they didn't think we had gone up. However, thanks to some magical maths we're there! I'm still not convinced!

Anyway, I'm off to get royally smashed to celebrate!

 

[Blue Lion]

Well done Lincoln. See you up there in two years time

 

[Luke Imp]

Poor game, really. We didn't get going at all. Our players didn't seem to be wearing studs and had springs in their boots because passes were pinging everywhere.

That said, the wind really picked up in that second half and we were playing into it. Andrade clearly wasn't fully fit, Akinde was well off the pace, as was Anderson so 3 out of the 4 attacking players had poor games.

Complete anti-climax in the end. It was all a bit flat because, even though it didn't confirm anything, last week was the result that did it. Everyone seemed to be focused on us winning and that was it rather than realising a draw and other results would do. Would've been nice to do it off the back of a win but I'll take promotion however it comes!

Cheltenham a bit too tippy tappy and despite playing nice triangles and looking neat and tidy, goal aside (which was a poor pass from us), they never looked like scoring. Whenever they did get half a sniff to break the lines quickly, the opted for an extra pass or two, usually sideways or backwards, and the chance was gone. Another team who've come and played 5 at that back, which we've struggled to break down.

Definitely something for Duff to work with, though.

 

[Stripes]

Well done Lincoln, you deserve it. Maybe we'll renew our acquaintance some time.

Really? I thought it looked a bit flat on the telly. That’s a shame!

 

[Waluigi]

Well done Lincoln, you deserve it. Maybe we'll renew our acquaintance some time.

Me too, could do with a guaranteed 6 points next season

 

[Davidimp]

That's cos no one at the club realised we'd done enough so loads of us left me included. Bizarre, classic Lincoln!

 

[Plumbob]

In these times it's incredible that people didn't know the situation! I had to show my mate a text from a lad I work with, to make it register.
On that subject, I don't know what they need to do to engender some positivity from him. Promoted, unbeaten for months and only 4 losses all season, and him (plus the fella next to him) moaning for about half an hour about letting a lead slip due to being poor at home. My mind boggles!
Good luck to the last 4 fighting to join us.

lol that's pretty fucking stupid. Mansfield v MK last day means they can't both catch you. As long as neither won you were up even if you lost. Not hard to work out. Missing your team celebrate clinching promotion cos you can't do simple maths is an EPIC FAIL. Didn't people who realised start telling other fans not to leave?

Congrats anyway though.

 

[Luke Imp]

We had the same problem in the stands because different apps were showing different scores so no-one knew where we stood.

 

[GTFCfish]

Well done Lincoln been a cracking last few years for you.
Despite not being a big fan of the Cowley’s touchline antics the job they’ve done there on and off the pitch is incredible so fair play.
