Just about to set off for my third home game of the season. I like to be early for a bit of a wander around Lincoln .

I like to be early for a bit of a wander around Lincoln .

Pop into Spouge's and listen to a record or two, have a look at the dugout canoe in the museum on Broadgate, have a mooch in Nobbs to see the latest models, then along Sincil Bank pausing only for a couple of pints and a game o' doms at the Chequers in Monson Street.

Shrewsbury are performing very differently under Hurst to Taylor so I wouldn't read too much into their league position at the minute, they've definitely had an upturn in performance levels.

Agree it will be a tough game as most of them are but they aren't really pulling up too many trees.

Saturdays victory at Reading was their first win in 5 games and they've only won 4 games since the beginning of December.

Plus 2 of their goals at Reading were world class strikes from outside the area, not something any league 1 club can replicate very often.

Come down with a bit of a bug so will be restricting myself to IFollow tonight. Always a bit of a rush to get from this side of the Midlands to a night game and just don't feel up to it. Glad to have the other option.
Not expecting to see an open free flowing game. Games against Shrews usually descend into a battle and a 1-0 score and tonight will probably be the same. Hopefully the 1-0 will be for us

Just meeting my son and then setting off. Hope that the A1 is kind to us on the way home.

Likely to be pretty turgid as with any Paul Hurst team. Could be a long night if they go a goal up.

Yeah watch out for the first corner they get.
Hope we've done our homework.

Feels like a fairly big game.

However unlikely it appears to be, the reality is that play offs is definitely in reach if we can get all 3 points tonight.

If we don’t, I fear the season may just peter out.

Tough game, but hopefully we’ll nick it. UTI!

It would be good to pass the 50 point mark tonight.

After that, games like Saturday's become "must win" if there's any chance of the play-offs.

A season "petering out" is not a bad thing though given some of the angst on here at the turn of the year.

Angst? The sheets are only just dry in some houses.

If results are as expected/ go our way tonight and Saturday, we could be 3 points off play offs on Sunday.

Stronger bench, looking better.
