Scrappy game last night, for some reason games in this league always look worse on TV then what they seem like when you're there. Can see both sides making the top 5, for me Tranmere appear to have the stronger squad, but both will struggle to be consistent enough to challenge for the title.

I'm hoping that The Beast starts for us today, he'll be keen to do well against Macc and I'd like to see how a front 2 of him and O'Connor works. On paper it looks good, but we've not really tried it too often yet. We also will need to reshuffle defensively, what with losing 2 left backs on Tuesday.

A big game for FGR if they are to reaffirm their title credentials after losing their 100% record on Tuesday. Another defeat could see a few doubts setting in and give the chasing pack more hope.

Yep another defeat today would give both Gateshead and Cheltenham the chance to close to within a win of overtaking us. That would make things interesting given those are our next 2 opponents.

I don't know what to expect today. Filthiest team in the league, if you believe Chris Kinnear.

I didn't realise Coyne went back to Tranmere later on. Looking at Wiki he made a total of 191 appearance for Tranmere and 181 for us, so as you say he should really be neutral tonight.

As for Batchy, he was my boyhood hero when growing up along with Joe Waters and Bobby Cumming (another player who was part of Lincoln's Conference winning team)

I even went to a game at Sincil Bank to watch them that season when you beat Wealdstone 3-0.
That was a lively game! Bob Cumming was class and player of the season when we won it.
His goal at Boston on Boxing day will live long in the memory, we had a proper manager back then too.....

Shit game this, no flow to it at all. Constant stop start with fouls and sloppy passes conceding possession.

Also, why do BT Sport persist with Mark Clemitt asking the managers inane questions during the game?!
Mark Clemitt has to be the biggest clown covering football now Andy Townsend has packed in, granted Glenn Hoddle is very annoying too.

Just like Halifax, Southport and Torquay then. Am I missing someone?

Ah yes - Bwood. Not sure about Welling.

What is it with Macc and big sides? Beat Woking, Grimsby and now 2-1 in front.

They will actually try to play football as well, we're fucked against the long ball merchants.

I feel sorry for Kiddy, this is a desperate situation for them. Comfortably losing to a very mediocre team.

We've gone brave with 3 at the back. Better to try and get back in it and risk a thrashing.

Torquay 2 - 4 Bromley at the moment. Sounds like a good game!

I'm sorry but this is all pennocks doing. Trying to be clever and mess around with the team. Breaking up raccine and Bennett was asking for trouble. To then play with 3 at the back, with 2 of them overlapping. Sunday league tactics, this could get a lot worse..
