Super Imps bash sorry Brewers.

 

Conventional wisdom has it that very few teams will go through a season not losing at all but it’s how you bounce back from a loss that marks a successful outfit. After the predictable setback against Sunderland and the more surprising blank against Shrewsbury, City once again have their mojo back firstly against the nobblers from Northampton and yesterday defeating a bedraggled looking Burton.

I’d looked forward to seeing our old friends, the returning Neal Eardley and Michael Bostwick but I suppose should have been warned that these two colossuses of our team for the last couple of seasons may be a bit past their sell by date on matchday live when the Brewers fan seemed distinctly underwhelmed by the performances of our former heroes and neither of them stood out particularly in a very ordinary looking Albion side.

City themselves did not put in the complete performance, or was that just me expecting too much? Nevertheless, when the Imps put their foot on the gas they had far too much for their opponents  and even Eards and Bozzie could not rescue them as we had seen them do time and time again for us.

I’m perhaps being a little unkind here but Lewis Montsma again showed that he is not yet the complete footballer and any scouts watching to see if our flying Dutchman may fit into a championship side may hopefully be put off or is that a false hope? They wont judge him on a couple of slips you’d think and that other worry, Brennan Johnson put in yet another classy stint and has already been the subject of a will he stay or will he return speculative article in Nottinghamshire Live pointing out that Forest fans have been alerted to his stellar shifts for the Imps and are thinking it might be a good idea to recall him. Let’s hope not.

In other news, as they say, Harry Anderson was again reminded that his inclusion from the start is not guaranteed, something that was a bit of a mystery to me but what do I know? I suppose the theory is give them a bit of a softening up and then bring on the racehorses after a while to really give them something to think about and certainly, apart from what you might call a comedy goal for Burton Albion which had almost nothing to do with any guile on Burtons part, you can call it comedy when City have their shooting boots on although I suspect the manager struggled to see the funny side. That apart the Imps just shoved aside a Brewers team as they had done the week before against the more agricultural Cobblers.

It’s a shame the Hull game is off for the moment. I’m sure those aristocrats from the Humber, as they probably see themselves, weren’t relishing the thought of us country cousins from the south turning up and possibly embarrassing them, not for the first time, in their luxurious abode. After Wimbledon we have another set up who rather fancy their chances, Peterborough United. They probably regard the Imps as a fly to be swatted away, top of the league or not. As ever, we’ll see about that.
