Going back to discussion from a few days ago (Hash, Train), where MR sees no money from the cup run, if someone does come in with say, £400k for Rudoni, the board might get wood but would MR see any of it?

Morning all, watched on ifollow from Mallorca, knew we'd win as I wasn't there. Thought we looked very strong against a limited Lincoln team, Pressley is getting better every game.

Worcester - thanks for the feedback 👌

BW - it will be interesting to hear what you think after you have checked.

Very good result last night and satisfying to get first clean sheet of the season. Changes the narrative immediately from “no wins in 5 games” to “unbeaten in 3”…which sounds a lot better!

SB - I was actually going to look at that for my blog. I always felt we were in a slightly false position last year as we played most of the weaker teams early and didn't play many of the top teams until December. It feels a bit different this season. But definitely worth checking as what I think/recall doesn't always reflect the reality!

Well done to Robbo and the management on setting the side up so well for the last two games with our limited resources

Not a word I use often but Saturday and last night have been Massive for us. Two results we could well look back on as being pivotal. If we can take something from the Wigan game it will have been a great eight days for the team. I have read many comparisons being made between points and position now -v- last season. Anyone with a better memory (or time to look it up) know if we have played a harder sequence of games, so far, compared to last season. Just feels like it.

Good morning Wombles.

Noisy bastards in this hotel but at least my phone is charged now. Not sure what to make of that. We deserved our half time lead though the penalty looked soft to me, but on another night we could have been three up by half time. Second half I figure we did what we had to do. It wasn’t pretty, it was proper hard work from everyone and we got the points. Thought Pressley was immense today he left it all out on the pitch, practically collapsed at the final whistle and he wants those penalties.

Well that was fun! First half was as well as we have played all season. All that was missing was a second goal (although I did predict 1-0 before the game!). Hard to pick a MOTM but honourable mentions for Woodyard, Rudoni, Hartigan and Pressley who were all excellent. Robbo got his tactics spot on. Assal wasn’t too effective tonight but to a man they worked their socks off.

First half Pressley was really excellent - best I've seen from him so far.

This day 2 years ago Terrell scored for us. T. T. scored again tonight, but for Sunderland. Ifollow can you continue to show replays when the game is in play at a critical moment. Adds to the stress. Thanks

esher don - Our league position is affectted far more by other results than our own. For instance, at around HT Flashscore had us 11th or 12th (can't remember which). By end of play our score hadn't changed, but we'd dropped a few places. Stats have to take more into account than comparing where we were this time last year.One or two scores from matches not involving us can make us look better/worse than a whole year ago. So much can happen to change things, eg. injuries, suspensions etc. which stats cannot possibly take into account. If stats were reliable we'd all win the pools every week. The fact so few do must tell you something, surely.

According to BBC report it was a 'feisty' match and we beat Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday!

Bush Womble - Verulamium, the Roman name for St Albans. 👍

Like this from the BBC report, Aaron Pressley left Lincoln all shook up as his early first-half penalty handed AFC Wimbledon a 1-0 win in a feisty League One clash at the LNER Arena.

MAD: To be fair, it was far from a smash and grab. We dominated proceedings and should have scored a few more. Lincoln hardly threatened and were very poor. Great high pressing from us, especially first half.

By the sound of the commentators St Albans have actually won the FA cup :-)

St Albans won 4-2 on pens. It was their commentary. Commentator was very annoying.

Elliott Bolton missed a penalty for Corinthian Casuals in their FA Cup penalty shootout this evening.
