Point gained or two points lost? The good news is the season hasn’t ended yet.

There was a lot of disappointment on social media last night after Lincoln City failed to gain a win at Morecambe. Some fans, maybe with a view to tempting providence, pronounced that it was the end of our promotion quest rather like that Forest Green Rovers fan who predicted his team would win the league last season with most of it to go. Ironically they did us a bit of a favour yesterday, beating Mansfield.

The fact of the matter is, it’s not over till it’s over and until City need one more point but have played their last match I’ll keep my powder dry. Whatever happens it’s been a successful first season back in the league, we’re going to Wembley in two weeks and furthermore, there’s some more to come as it’s March not May.

Yesterday was always going to be difficult. Morecambe are no mugs and we don’t always excel against teams in their position. They don’t have many fans but that means nothing. Well supported teams don’t always win and poorly supported ones don’t always lose. If they did it wouldn’t be worth the bother. Winning a league or getting promoted isn’t plain sailing, that’s why following even a successful side is always interesting. John Beck said every team however good will have a poor spell. We’re good but not exceptional, we’re evolving. Thinking back to a couple of clubs who had money and were constructed rather than grown organically, Blackburn Rovers and Rushden and Diamonds where are they now? They had their day in the sun but are in the shade now. R & D aren’t even around as a league club and almost disappeared altogether.Their lovely stadium, which I always enjoyed visiting, is gone forever.

So, like you I’m disappointed but I’m not downhearted. Easter is to come, my favourite time of the year and that goes for football too. Two games in a short period of time that can make or break a season. It’s lighter in the evening and the flowers are coming out. What’s not to like?
