Lincoln City (A) F A Cup First Round Saturday 3/11/12.

[Cully]

I will not be attending but I reserve the write.

[bescot42]

I really shouldn't feel nervous about us playing a team two leagues below us but I am. Our record against lower leagues isn't great (anyone remember Slough?). We haven't won convincingly against such teams for a while.

Anyway, I'll be going from Huddersfield with the missus. I predict a scrappy 2-1 win with us coming back from behind (Grigg, Chambers). Around 350 Saddlers.

PS. Has anyone noticed which former Saddler is managing them?

[Asps]

Any way up it's 69

[canadiansaddler]

We'll pass them to death and win 1-4. Butler with a hat-trick and Bowerman with a diving header. 1895 in attendance including 388 saddlers.

Plan B then with Butler upfront

I hear Lincoln City are REALLY up to date with technology....they have a brand new telex machine!
Still uptight that we aye got a Sodje, but even without one of them, we should ease a 1-0 win..Butler of course, cus thats the nearest we have to a striker....

Good work :D

[Ancient Moaner]

Were we a 3.15 Kick off?

[Cully]

Lincoln Radio saying that the Walsall defence don't look very confident, just slating Butler and Holden saying they are at sixes and sevens. Grof just got lucky with an attempted lob. Sounds like a very even game with Taylor [their inform striker] having a good game.

[Cully]

I'm worried :shock:

[Cully]

Lincoln just hit the crossbar

[Welsh_Saddler]

Pressure from Lincoln - Grof's bar rattled after 23 minutes.

We sound good on the ball, but very dodgy when trying to defend...

[Fray Bentos is God!]

Don't know where the radio have got that from. They've hardly worried us. Grof watched the lob over and made a regulation save from a long ranger.

[Fray Bentos is God!]

Apart from the bar :)

[Welsh_Saddler]

The radio commentary (BBC Lincolnshire) would be improved if someone would set fire to the drum... :roll:

Bias - Period


Well they keep on slagging us off :)

[BarnsleySaddler]

Boo 0-1 :( Taylor chips Grof.

[Cully]

1 - 0 Jamie Taylor ....apparently a 'wonder goal' :(

[Fray Bentos is God!]

Mossiv 20 yard lobbing. Bloody hell.

[Welsh_Saddler]

1-0 to Lincoln on the stroke of half time :(

[Cully]

Mossiv 20 yard lobbing. Bloody hell.

Are they still not worrying us then?
