Edited for you.

What ever happened to you lot only ever referring to your team as 'GY'? That was all over this forum the first year you came up.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

How can anyone be bigger than us? We have Steve McNulty and Manny Monthe..

I see your Steve McNulty and raise you Anthony Gerrard.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Sadly I think Steeeve may not play again due to personal issues that Tranmere have covered up with an “injury”

That was sooooo 3 years ago!

 

[Conker]

Agreed.

You are compared to us, we’ve been in league 1 once in the last 27 years, we then conceded 97 goals in the process.

We’re well set if we go up this time though,

Didn’t realise you only used historic league position to judge Adam, no wonder it’s so flawed!

Lincoln equalizing in the 6th minute of the 4 minutes of allocated stoppage time.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Pleased with that to be honest, Whilst we keep looking at the gap between ourselves and top the last thing I wanted is Exeter getting closer tonight with us still having to go to SJP.

Exactly, for once a late Lincoln goal came in useful.

Happy with a draw in that. Should be an exciting run in.

Second this - keeps Exeter within catching distance should we decide to win for a change on Saturday. Even better if Lincoln can go and beat FGR and Exeter and Tranmere draw.

 

[Devon_Lad]

A draw would've been fine before the game, but losing in the way we did was pretty annoying to be honest. 4 minutes added on, nothing much happened in the 4 minutes to warrant an extra 2 coming from somewhere magically, other than a substitution....

It means if we win on Saturday though we are 6 points above 9th place which is pretty good, and we've got quite an easy run for a while now.

 

[Chris FGR]

Always said we were a MASSIVE name in English football.

A draw for Lincoln and FGR would be ideal. Again

A 1-1 result is known as a ‘draw’ mate not a loss.

Correct, but I'm sure you know what I meant. Plus, it certainly felt like a loss on the travels home.

 

[KeithH]

Wandered out of Walkabout smiling despite Bury getting beat, thinking a win for Exeter was ace when a bloody big blast of noise came bowling up the high street and bloody knew the jammy buggers had equalised.

 

[AdamStag]

Points in the last 10 games
24 - bury
17 - Carlisle
16 - Lincoln, mansfield
15 - MK, exeter
14 - FG
13 - Colchester

Not that bothered about last nights defeat to Pompey in the Checkatrade.. Wembley would have been nice but it would have also been a potential distraction.

0-3 certainly flattered Portsmouth after an overall evenly contested game. We now have 12 games to secure as many points as possible, starting with Macclesfield at home Saturday.

20 points out of 36 should do it for us I think... 6 wins 2 draws 4 defeats? That would put us on 83.

We keep saying if we’re going at our current rate we’ll end up on 82, unless someone falls off the pace you could need a few more.

To be honest though ‘FOREST GREEN ROVERS SPONSORED BY HEAD AND SHOULDERS’ was always gonna top any name list.

 

[denzel ecfc]

None of the teams below the current top 7 will catch us, really don't know why they are all creaming themselves over Lincoln equalising as if anything we will be galvanised by this for Saturday and the rest of the season.

When it's put like that, we're probably not as bad as some of our lot are making our in terms of points accumulations. Overriding feeling from me is more of missed opportunities than anything else (Northampton and Stevenage being the latest ones).

 

[Chris FGR]

When it's put like that, we're probably doing a bit shit in terms of points accumulations. 1.4 ppg aint gonna cut it from here if we want top 7.

Need to up it quick, starting by SMASHING Lincoln on Sat.

I haven’t actually read anybody creaming themselves over it, most are probably just happy that that tosspot Devon Lad will have been gutted over it.

I agree with that. Although it seems Denzel seems to also have drunk some of the kool aid that seems to make ECFC fans overly arrogant.

Exeter did score 2 away goals at Mansfield, which is completely unheard of. They must be doing something right!

They were clinical against us too, 43 shots they had across the 2 games (30 at home 13 at Blundell Park) and managed to bang in a whole 1 goal, can see why their fans are so arrogant with such a top strike force.

Yeah I thought the same, saying nobody outside the top 7 will overtake them when Carlisle and Tranmere are only 2 and 3 poins behind them is a ridiculous statement to make and just sets him up for ridicule if and when it happens.
