Or arrived at our level as disappointing that may seem.
Yes, I was thinking that. I remember us beating the likes of Man City, Chelsea, Newcastle, Wolves and over half the current premiership teams in normal league fixtures, many away from home. Now the mighty Harrogate give us a footballing lesson on our own turf. Maybe the days of us getting to the championship again are long gone. When you consider LIncoln have to suffer losses of more than £2 million a year just to achieve mid table in L1 maybe the financial absurdity of the modern game means we can never again realistically aspire to such elevated status. We punched above our weight back then, but now the mountain seems much much harder to climb.

That's what hurts the most in the 80s and 90s the Town fans turned up and expected to beat anyone at home and often did.Now I go purely in hope of seeing a win I expect nothing.

As far as I'm aware this is the first time I have mentioned B Corps. The real question is
What is it with you wanting to have a go at everybody, even those who have supported you?
Stop talking rubbish, having a go at everybody lol, those who supported me lol. You are a joke, you should be on a stage.

There you go again, being passive aggressive, and you are confrontational, you very seldom have an opinion on anything but question what everyone puts on a forum where we discuss many things most of which based on conjunctive, supposition and rumours

Remember those days well, Ron. My first season was 1979-80 and I was hooked by my first game which was Town 4 Blackpool 3. We're actually getting better home crowds than we did in the second tier sometimes but for such little reward. Hard to believe it has come to this.

And there you go with this 'passive aggressive' sh!te. So I question what everyone puts on the forum do I, lol, the irony of that. What I do, is, if you actually read my posts instead of making up stuff, you would see that I ask people to show me evidence of the so called facts they post, if you think that's confrontational, then I can't help you. Like someone yesterday said that I had posted back in 2021 that we would win every game, lol. I asked him to show me proof of that, so far he hasn't. As you said, this is a forum were people post their opinions, so I post mine here too, if you want to question them, go ahead, but FFS make a proper argument instead of making stuff up, like "but question what everyone puts on a forum". Everyone, really! Lol.

Oh wind your neck in you buffoon...you'll be having a stroke at this rate!!.. Have you asked yourself why I, and many other posters, have questioned you're approach on here?.. You come across as an arrogant, ignorant know it all who wants to do nothing but try to get a response out of people by running them up the wrong way....oh, and by the way, its 2024, LOL was so 2020, get with times will you!..

Going back to the match on Saturday, what struck me most was the lack of a proper link between defence and midfield.
Losing Conteh is pretty disastrous as he was excellent at receiving the ball under pressure, shielding it and laying off a simple pass - no one else in the squad seems remotely close to having that skill.
I just hope and pray that a capable replacement is being lined up before the window closes.

Someone sat behind me muttered the words ‘is Green the new Conteh’? It didn’t take long to find out.
