Todays write up for the away game at Telford in www.lincoln.vitalfootball.co.uk
For those who subscribe to the “one win and were off” school of thought Lincoln City have another chance to kick start their season with a game tonight at Telford. Not many fans were guilty of over confidence pre season and those that were expecting an easy ride back to league football now know otherwise. It’s certainly true that teams in this division are pretty cute when it comes to dead ball situations. The problem for the Imps is that free kicks are their Achilles heel at least at the moment and we would hope that much effort is being put in to rectifying this situation. It has to be presumed that the players are as frustrated as the supporters at playing reasonably well only to come unstuck the minute the opposition get the ball at their feet. Mind you, it would help if the team tried not to give so many free kicks away, particularly within range.
Steve Tilson told the Lincolnshire Echo he and Paul Brush are “rarely at home at the moment” and that mulling over team matters has become a 24 hour obsession as they search for that elusive first win. Telford did just that at the weekend, at York of all places and it remains to be seen whether they kick on from that or whether City can get amongst the points themselves. Lincoln will be freed of their supposed shackles, not having to perform in front of us oh so demanding fans. Part time Telford’s manager Andy Sinton told the Echo if anything they were the underdogs and at a disadvantage home or away. Mind games not just the preserve of Mourinho and Ferguson then. Last time at New Bucks Head the Imps ran out winners, 3-1 in the FA cup first round, itself a collectors item.
As for the City supremo three points however garnered will fit the bill:-
“The victory will come and I’m really not bothered how we achieve it” he told the paper.
Amen to that.
