Tranmere's plight reminds me very much of our first season down here under Brian Little. We thought it would be a walk in the park...and it wasn't. Hopefully you won't get stuck down here for 8 years and counting like us!

Tranmere and Cheltenham really need to go up this season while they are still getting parachute payments. Once they are gone the job becomes massively more difficult, crowds drop and before you know it you're stuck.

I know the weather will put a lot of people off but for those not in the loop, Chester are 8th in the Form guide and 13th in the league so how can it be so dross? Are you mugging teams off for points time and time again?
Basically .... a lot of the time yes!

Great point for us against Dover.

No doubt this will lead for more calls on Devachat for Burr to be sacked as we didn't win 5-0.

I think it was just one WUM who called for Burr's head and around 96% of the posters were in support of SB. It's just that the football, even when we win is drab.

I don't think anyone expected it be a walk in the park but we at least expected us to put up a fight and be challenging for playoff spot. At this rate we'll be lucky to finish in the top half of the table.

Me too. And also our last two seasons. You know, going to places like Barnet, Grimsby and FGR and winning and then getting tonked at home by Telford and Braintree. As well as our regular Chester losses.

On paper Tranmere have a decent team (albeit a little uneven) A good manager could get them up. Unfortunately for them they went for Brabin.

We've probably had quite a few but losing 4-0 at Tamworth wasn't great. Or being 2-0 down at bottom placed Bath after 4 minutes.

So a Lincoln win tonight puts them 3rd, 3 points off the top.

I said they'd do well, shame more didn't listen and put their money on them. I'm not often wrong.

And that there is why very, very few people respect anything you have to say on this forum.

Not sure why you're taking offence, all I've said is that you'd do well this season and put my money where my mouth is. You disagreed. Who was right?

I'm not taking offence, I'm making a statement. The "I'm not often wrong" attitude. I can see why your popularity isn't high on here.

You never know, this might be the start of us being the English Hoffenheim, eh Chris.

There are no similarities whatsoever.

A bankrolled village club moving up the leagues and moving to a big out of town stadium in an attempt to attract more locals from the district sound a bit more like us and our ambitions I'd say.

Hope you're right, Chris. I'm not entirely sure how we're blagging (meaning that in the nicest possible way) it at the minute to be honest without sounding disrespectful to the players and management who are obviously doing a very good job so far this season.

That'll be me when my winnings (£1100 if Lincoln make top 5) come in at the end of the season. Bit of extra cash for me holiday, lovely.

There are usually promotion/relegation threads by now!

I think Lew started one super early the other year.

Oh I know, just saying its a bit early to start suggesting bets for Lincoln to stay in the top 5 are sure winners!

Lincoln have done brilliantly so far, just hope its not a repeat of the #MaccMachine2015. Dover also doing well up there.

As I say, nailed on to lose tonight now after all this hype. It's the Lincoln way.

NAILED ON.

Would you go as far as saying you expect Dover to fade?

Going on form (last 8 games) it looks set to be the #LincolnLoco vs #MaccMachine fighting for the title. :bg:

Worked out well for him didn't it... ;)
