They must really dread the prospect of playing Lincoln City at Forest Green Rovers. What’s that, nine hours of football played? (Plus injury time) points gained nil.
Before it was, we’ll continue to play football the way we think it should be played. Well there’s only one way to play football. To win.

Presumably FGR were at Sincil Bank last Tuesday to see City rescue a point with a last gasp equaliser from John Akinde. They’ll have thought, now’s our chance. In FGR’s eyes they are the guardians of footballs soul but bearing in mind this is league two do you really want a fine Sancerre with your fish and chips when an ice cold Diet Coke will really hit the spot?

To carry on with the analogy for a little bit longer, FGR had Christian Doidge back with them after the catastrophic transfer debacle. Who did they see lined up against them? Matt Rhead, just like last time and just like last time Dennis the Menace prevailed over Lord Snooty.

We said after the dramatic improvement after he came on last time out, is it worth playing Rhead up front with John Akinde? Well Danny Cowley may relish playing the underdog but he’s not slow on the uptake and that’s exactly what happened. Akinde must have really enjoyed himself yesterday, it certainly sounded like it on the radio but here is a man burdened with the millstone of record signing (relatively modest as the sum paid is) labouring in a system he’s not been used to and, despite the best efforts of those who believe we have ourselves a fine player, still hearing those doubting voices off. Well hopefully we’re going to be hearing less of them.

Add to the mix it was normal service resumed with an Akinde penalty converted, one way or another it was a good day at the office. Everyone won, City remain top by three. Mr Cooper set for another weeks navel gazing. Yes, in the end, a good week.
