Match Thread: Wigan Athletic v Lincoln City

[MaineRoad_96]

Thought he did ok today, in very difficult circumstances.

Same here - but then me and you don’t just post on here to complain when we’re not winning.

Feel for Wigan, they deserved at least a point. I could watch that Tom Hopper finish again and again, absolute peach of a goal.

To win that given all the injuries, conditions, ref and quality of performance of the opposition really makes you think it could be our year.

Think Sunderland are a bigger threat than the rest of the top 6 barring Peterborough.

i agree on that. Sunderland look like they are getting some consistency together. we have a 9 point head start on them, I think they will close that gap, but wont catch us.

Swindon coming up next. they sneeked a 2-1 win at home to Crewe today, with just 32% possession. own goal and a last minute winner.

This league is up & down. One team in form for a month & then bosh. Donny, Hull, Pompey and next ..................... Posh & Becks! The only consistent has been us !! Yes thrown a way a few points and we just do not quite create enough. However, its grind it out time.

If we can & its an if we win 5 of our next 7 I think you will find we will have a decent lead. At that point I will expect Sundershite to have exploded after a good run. Its about being the most consistent team and to date the Imps have been that!!

There are no easy games, particularly this season. We just need to keep our head down and plough through. But, am concerned about the back today, so much space for Wigan to exploit - against a better team, we would have lost. Still... a tired squad, depleted by injuries, playing in difficult conditions, won through - well done lads!

 

[Woodis]

Hull drew!

Blimey I didn’t realise that either. 90 + 12! That’s Fergie time then some!

Seduction at its finest

Great day to win , not bothered whether we were lucky or not, unlucky against Donny these things even themselves out, the others mostly had a bad day and you have to make the most of it which we did. Drag themselves onto Tuesday and another fighting display and hopefully come out on the right side of a result.

Tuesday's fixtures look good for us. Just about all of the top half of the table playing each other.

We were bloody awful , a performance not helped by squad injuries, the pitch and wind. We appear to be running on empty. However Johnson and Rogers have been terrible in these conditions and lets hope Scully and Anderson are back soon. I am not sure how we didn't lose but form on the pitch is a concern. Could do with four cancelled games so the grass grows a bit!!

what was terrible about rogers' performance today?

Miss Bridcutt don’t we? Especially when we’re not playing well. Hopefully Sanders can get up to speed as he looks like the most likely replacement.

That's our second double of the season by the way. Trying for a third on Tuesday.

 

[NorthNottsImp]

I think that was a bloody good three points today. Really liked their number 9 too

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Not sure I agree with you, but then I still maintain Steve MacKenzie's goal was better than Ricky Villa's

I remember Gary Lund scoring a goal every bit as good as Villa's.

 

[Impartiality]

It was, but it was still only the second best goal of the game.

Agreed the Scully goal was class.

Maybe against a better team our defence (and midfield cover) might have raised their game and played better. It is strange how quite often you play worse against (on paper) lesser opponents.

Good win today, can't believe fans think these teams will lay down on us. at only 2 - 1 up of course we'll struggle the opponents will keep coming at us, that's why it's so hard to get promoted out of this division.
