a few people saying notts played their best game for ages.
wasn't the same said after the port vale game [they were15th, manager under pressure].
and the cambridge [22nd, new manager] away game.
crewe [18th when we played them] certainly had a good time against us.
so, is it the way that we set up [cautious] that allows these teams to play well against us? they must start the game with fragilities, trepidation, 'what are the top of the league team going to do to us'. then we don't dominate midfield, we hardly threaten the keeper, they realise they aren't going to get hammered, and their confidence grows. it is like top team or bottom team - we level the game out and get into a scrappy dogfight, because we are a team with dna to be the scrapper, the underdog.
the hortin commentary regularly says 'lincoln haven't got going yet', and this is still how it feels imo.
very pleased we are 9 clear of fourth, because even after all season at the top, we still don't feel like a team with top of the table swagger. that look of a team that are gelled together and have clicked. consistency and accumulating points is maybe just the way we will always play.
