At last this one is going ahead. Had we played them on the original scheduled date, they were on a dreadful run and looking like relegation candidates. Two postponements later, they're on a decent run and will be sterner test for us.
Hoping that both REG and Miller will feature tomorrow and wouldn't mind seeing JJ start up front with Smudge. This is our game in hand on MK Dons and we need to make the most of it.
That was a nerve jangler. We were very good first half but hanging on second half. So many of our players are running on empty by the hour mark, and teams are exploiting that and moving the ball quickly and pinning us back. Morecambe, Shrewsbury and now Lincoln have all had us holding on for the last half hour of games. I'm not sure what the answer is, but the way it is looking I'm.just hopeful that we can fall over the line. I thought Miller was outstanding tonight. He was our biggest threat going forwards and his work rate was fantastic. I was surprised REG didnt play. Wood seemed to be carrying a knock. I love Angus and respect that he has had a layoff and wish him well, but just at the minute he frightens me to death. I just think he isnt ready to be playing at this level just yet. Credit to Lincoln they really made us sweat for the win.
Phew! I'm taking my own defibrillator to the next match because I don't think I can stand much more of this second half stress! Agree Miller was top class, as was JJ and Wiles. A bit more composure in front of goal and we could have had a bag full. However, I'm not sure what sort of lead we need at half time to allow us to relax for the 2nd half!
Absolutely huge victory.
As this was our game in hand and as we’re approaching a fortnight off when mk might be playing 2 games, a win was vital.
We won.
Yes it was hard to watch at the end but we got a huge result and are one step nearer a chance of a famous double. Well done.
Without Barlaser and Rathbone we look lost. This is going to the wire. Even though our first half was a big improvement we have struggled since Christmas and i don't see MK Dons and Wigan picking up fewer points than us in the run in. Warne keeps saying we are jaded. Well,come on Tony take them out to La Manga or similar to refresh during the break.
