The big game on Monday

[AdamStag]

Harsh yellow, would have been a harsh penalty too.

Walker needs to bag that pull back from CJ - we need to get the ball to CJ more often.

Grant appeared to have turned up

 

[PaulHaddock]

Haha, the Cowley keeper teamtalk back at it.

 

[Davidimp]

Early goal has set the tone.
Not playing like leaders imho
Fair play to Mansfield want it more, huge improvement required from us.
Always going to be bonus if we get anything tonight but we'll see.

 

[Conker]

Lincoln look really dangerous still though, Anderson in particular.

I didn’t know they pretend injuries for a team talk, no wonder Lincoln never get the respect the fans think they deserve

 

[AdamStag]

Solid in defence, Logan has saved well a few times down low which is pleasing, the back 3 have marshalled Akinde well. Bish doing his thing in midfield, grant has played well - there was contact but he went down too early - no penalty but the yellow was harsh but probably levelled out as Preston should have been booked for pulling back on the halfway line. Crowd comes across well

Very much so, Lincoln have played really well and have goals in them, we’ve got to keep steady though. Inevitably finish a 1-1 draw as they always do between us.

 

[Davidimp]

You have a lead and are very good at defending them.
Tense second half methinks

 

[EricSabin]

Every time it pans to the Cowley’s they’re moaning about something, poor 4th official

 

[AdamStag]

It’s a bit frustrating they’re wanking over Lincoln so much

No mention of 5 home wins in a row, no mentions of a best home record in the league if we win, no mention of how we’ve the best defence in the league

 

[AdamStag]

Good start by Lincoln

Hopefully that’s the logan howler out the way

Just like every other game then.

 

[kieran_vale]

Not sure what Conrad Logan thought he was achieving there, cost his team.

 

[AdamStag]

Good old Conrad.

 

[Urban]

Oh god I miss Akinde (pen) sometimes (read: always)

 

[Conker]

What a sorry liability Logan is, it’s such a shame considering we have a much better goalkeeper on the bench.

 

[EricSabin]

Lincoln fans have woken up

 

[EricSabin]

Just like every other game then.

Yep

 

[Conker]

We were in control too, all for him to come bounding out like a buffalo, it’s the most ridiculously obvious penalty you could wish for.

 

[Indian Dan]

Decent game this. Shows why we’re floundering in mid table.

That’s cos he fucking wank.

It’s like having fucking mr bean in goal

 

[PaulHaddock]

Toffolo has always seemed a slimy get.

 

[AdamStag]

I think overall a draw is fair, but the way it’s came about is most annoying(should it end a draw)

 

[GodsGift]

And that's why we're going up, we're so difficult to beat. Still only lost 4 times this season and that's now 15 games unbeaten.

We’d have clung to win 1-0 has that fat dinosaur not barged out of his penalty area.

No need to work for your goal when Logan’s playing

 

[Guernica]

Refuse to lose!

Hope Gilks recovers from his injury.

 

[Conker]

Definitely agree but what a ridiculous way to concede when we had a decent control of the game, we basically plated it up for you because you were struggling to break us beforehand. For me it definitely feels like two points dropped, it’s so infuriating knowing we have a keeper on the bench that is twice the player that Logan is.

Worst thing is out of all teams he decides to do it against the one that have a player literally nicknamed after a penalty.

 

[MonkeyDust]

I’ll take that. Cagey game but still some good stuff played.

 

[Davidimp]

Logan was determined to get us level there.
Draw probably fair enough.
Didn’t think you did enough going forward in the second half.
Still plenty more twists and turns guys

 

[Imp in Branston]

A point a fair result because although Mansfield had lots of corners, Gilks did not have much to save. Bostwick would have scored had it not been for Anderson blocking it on the line. Didn't see much of the Barcelona free flowing football from Mansfield either. Preston has always been a dirty git, should have definitely got a yellow for the blatant shirt pull on Akinde. Still it's a very good point and would have definitely accepted that at 7.45.

Onward and hopefully upward for us.

 

[Conker]

We played decent today but any complaints of our lack of service to Walker and CJ is completely justified, and is solely the reason why I think a draw is probably about right.
