League One & Two - 2025/26

[spacemunky]

Sounds like we were very fortunate to come away with a win today at Bristol, especially going down a man in the first half.

 

December is a tough one starting with MKD's at home and ending with a trip there. Sandwiched in between are Grimsby(A), Walsall(H) and Chessie(A).

 

Definitely see what we're made of, come the new year.

 

 

[spacemunky]

Definitely not the start we'd hoped for 

[spacemunky]

Always enjoy beating that lot 

 

Up to 2nd.

Andy Whing has left Barrow .

 

Been a tough season for them .

[spacemunky]

Funny looking at the L1 match between Peterborough and Northampton. Both keepers(Bass and Fitzsimons) played for us and Luke Williams and Kevin Nolan are the managers.

[spacemunky]

Big win away at Grimsby.

 

Paterson has been able to utilize Jatta and Dennis up front. Not really a true 442, but however it's set up, it's working.

 

2 within Walsall now for top and have them here next.

Is this an English (professional) football league record?..

For a club probably not, for a manager hard to see anyone survive worst than 10 on the bounce.

TBF he has a point .

 

Was a very harsh booking for an alleged dive .

 

[Wymsey]

Fair play to him for losing quite a bit of weight..

If we stay down I do hope Bradford get promoted because they're the one team I've missed and Valley Parade is that one ground I've not been to yet. I think 02/03 was the last time we played them and, while I used to attend that season, I didn't go too many games.

[spacemunky]

Sounds like we played well against the league leaders. But, only a point from it.

 

That's 7 points outta 9 in three very tough matches so far this month.

 

Tough thing is, we will most likely go from 2nd, coming into today, to 4th by the end of the day. Thats how tight it is.

 

Away to Chessie and MkDs, to close out the year.

[isaidno]

Fantastic result for Lincoln.  Being in the top 2 at Xmas is a fantastic achievement looking at the budgets of some of the other teams in the league.

[spacemunky]

Watching that half, I'm assuming both us and Chessie had a really good Christmas.

[spacemunky]

Thought gift giving was yesterday 

[spacemunky]

Poor from us today.

 

Was always going to be a tough December and if we can make it through with just the one loss, we'll have done well.

 

On to Milton Keynes.

Seems team either got their shooting boots for Christmas or had too much Turkey.

Looks like you got the shootin' boots.

You know Steve Evans is back now .

[spacemunky]

With the draw at MKDs today, it's 8 points from the 5 matches this month.

 

Can't really complain about that.

[isaidno]

Watched Lincoln vs Huddersfield this afternoon.  Lincoln should have been out of sight at halftime.  None of the top 8 won today. 

[MC Prussian]

Wow, Port Vale 1-0 down at half-time, then put five past Blackpool in the second half.
