I shall try and make this balanced, it was a youth team from Lincoln against a really strong town team and we only just beat them so is our team really as good as we lot make out or did town take it easy last night deliberately?


It's not a big deal. Every cup competition since the dawn of time is littered with examples of superior teams struggling to beat or losing to inferior opposition.  Don't lose any sleep over it.


"Pound for pound, and class for class, the best football team I have seen in England since the war. In the league they were in they played football nobody else could play. Everything was measured, planned and perfected and you could not wish to see more entertaining football." Bill Shankly, Manager GTFC 1951-54

Who knows Aaron, friendlies are often like that, throwing up more questions than answers. Lincoln beat Scunny last year in the Lincs Cup, was it just that they were a good team, or were Scunny rubbish, or did they not bother turning up on the night? Scunny stayed up comfortably and Lincoln had a nightmare season which shows that result as rather odd unless you take it with a pinch of salt for what it was, a one-off game.

And I will jump on the other end of the scales and say that had we taken all our chances in mostly a one way affair we would have been at least 6 goals   up, you ask are we really as good a we  make out,   ask Scunny and Hull

Lincoln know their first team are not much stronger than their reserve team.

Less than 700 is a joke for the home team.

They have whingers and weak players, they will be looking just to stay up haha

They only had 700 fans because they knew they were going to lose, they are worse than the Scunts.  They are our biatches and always will be

I enjoyed the game last night our youths looked good and it appears they have not had any of their football coached out of them.
We thought your following was excellent and so did Mr Fenty,it could/should have been 3-0 at the break but you didn't take your chances.
After the break with 20 to go our subs came on and the game changed,we no longer hoofed the final ball  which was failing badly all game.

It was for me a game to try out the youths, with Miller and Gowling at the back to add experience.

It does seem you take this more seriously than us and you are lucky to have Fenty can we have him sat behind him and he has a great passion for GY.
