75/76 Similarities? ?⚪️

First team to 10 wins in the entire efl, wow.
Just saying to thommo on twitter they're starting to remind me of the great imps side he played in.

Oh dear .... were they all huge donkey jacket/sheepskin clad brutes in flares, or is that just my warped memory? I trust your teacher suffered no permanent damage and carried on his sterling work?

He was pretty shook up but recovered to get me and others through our O levels. A great Imps fan, now long deceased, Mr Dillingham RIP.

Based on the 1932 comments we clearly never scored 6 away. Maybe we won away by 4 or more goals though?

I've a feeling we beat Bradford PA 5-1 both home and away one season in the 60s.

NKS! Good bloke. Wasn't little Jack Deller also a gateman, he'd occasionally be on the West Bank when a fair number of his physics class trooped in.

More goalscorers by mid-October this season than in the 54 games played in 1975-6

There was little, if no squad rotation back then.

Yes - the 1967/68 season. Clive Ford scored three in the home match, Norman Corner scored with three headers at Park Avenue.

Only time was 5-1 away at Bradford City.

I think what has to be recognised as well is that last season it took Luton Town until their 15th match to hit 31 points at the top of the table and we have done it in 13! On top of that we have done it by actually playing 7 of those 13 away from home as well!

If (and I know it's a big if) we can win our next two home matches we would be an incredible 6 points ahead of where Luton were at the same stage last season after just 15 matches!

Absolutely incredible start to the season and long may it continue

Fortress Sincil Bank - but I am coming round to the idea that we find it a bit easier away from home because teams allow us to play that little bit more.

We'll see how it goes over the next 2 matches which will see the first third of the season over.

Yes he was.

Ironically, Port Vale's team selection on Saturday was done specifically to stop us playing, and slow us down.

An early goal pretty much killed that game plan. Helenio Herrera will be turning in his grave.

Not the only time. Numerous others including Doncaster, Shrewsbury and Chesterfield.

 

[GrotierBranfootLeigh]

Yes he was.

Good old Jack, with his legendary glasses. He was around till at least the early 80s.

I guess he was talking about 1975-76.

Jack Deller and Joe Beckett - what a pair.

Sorry, my mistake

Blimey, we have almost identical stats now after 14 games, just a +1 goal difference for Cowley's 2018 Imps .... although 6 goals less at SB is a tad disappointing having played one game less and could ultimately prove the difference?
