    This game will be up there with the 5-4 game against Forest in the League Cup for being talked about in 20 years time.

    I think Shipley can have a decent career at this level as long as he keeps things simple in midfield, makes his runs into the box or shoots. His attempts at creative passing are horrible!

    Bit more balance in that position today. Kelly can rely on Shipley to cover him so they've both got forward at points today

    How much of a danger do we think Lincoln will be next season in this league? Seem like an organised well run club with decent support.

    I agree to an extent and always feel we end up too deep in our own penalty area but if those crosses are from the touchline looped into the 6 yard box it really shouldnt matter.

    That's 12 times in 21 home games they've gone behind now and equalised. As sickening as it is, it's damn impressive over a season.

    Encouraging his midfield and attack and bollocking the defence I'd say!

    Burge should have been coming for the 3rd too I think. That ball has looped in from miles out and he has to know Mason is a short arse and it's dropping into his zone.

    How many for the season has Burge been at fault for now? Surely too many to defend. That was nothing more than a closed eye flap in his 6 yard box because he was under a little pressure.

    I want to enjoy this more but the dread of this 2nd half is already creeping in when they bring on Cattermole and McGeady to control the game.... :D

    Sterling let him run all the way into the area there. Has to go and engage him 25 yards out.

    Great goal. He's so dangerous from 25 yards out with the ball at his feet.

    Can see why Robins gave Willis until the last minute - bit worried about Davies when he's up against short forwards with plenty of movement. On the other hand they are quite a short team overall, think they've only got a a couple of 6 footers today, so he should provide a lot of threat at corners.

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were fully on board with the set up of a new Hoffman lead club to play at the Ricoh and their recent relative silence is them keeping their powder dry til our groundshare is announced. Then there'll be the fanfare and the announcement of AFC Coventry...

    It's a massive ask to go there and win. They're unbeaten in 19 in the league and haven't lost at home all season - W11 D9 L0. But that's still not their most impressive stat in my opinion. Their ability to equalise is 100% - they've gone behind in 10 of those 20 home games and come back every...

    Meyler and Bayliss

    Can still perform his role of the experienced older head in the dressing room until the playoffs are impossible. Not like he played much anyway so not really changed from that point of view has it?
