Our bubble won't burst whilst we have our chairman, Most fans seem happy with Michael Appleton, especially as we have a team now that is designed to play football and he clearly gets his teams to keep it on the deck so it suits the personnel we have with Morrell, Payne, Andrade and Walker etc. Others interviewed were more direct and we don't want to go back to that - I am sure it grates on some of your fans as you are clearly a long ball team now as opposed to the football I saw you play in the late 80's.

Plus we paid very little to get him, so the near 2 million compensation we got for both Cowleys will help, as this league is completely different and I am surprised by the step up in quality, so we can splash in Jan to make sure we stay in this league.


How's the free flowing football treating you? Cause it looks as if you're 4 down within an hour at home against a side that started the day in 17th.

Just to point out Appleton isn't actually in charge today, he's in the stands watching.


Does he have a bail out clause

I am confident that the club is in safe hands - Thats all I meant, Appleton has been given a four year deal, our chairman said he wants to go higher up the football pyramid, so why not be confident.

As for storming it, We have started okay, but the quality differnce is enormous. I don't think I have ever said we would storm it, I was always happy to finish 5th bottom. You can't change a whole team in 1 or 2 windows. Plus our two best players in Morell and Walker we don't own.



Any decent players you do have will be going to Huddersfield in January too. Lincoln fans can obsess about money, and of course we wish WE had some, but you’ve got to spend it wisely. The Cowley’s did, time will tell with Appleton......

Many more results like today's and the garden centres around Lincoln will soon be a lot busier on Saturday afternoons.
