Kelly was superb tonight.

Brilliant atmosphere at the Ricoh as well. Fair play to the Stevenage fans joining in.

"Tuesday is a different kettle of fish, A good team are coming and we need to be right up for it"

 

[Marty]

Played well, great first 10 mins. Disappointed we didn't test their keeper more in the second half.

 

[Hercules]

Great result. Always in control second half. Kelly MOTM, his best performance in a sky blue shirt.

Agree about Kelly. He was everywhere and looking for the attacking option. My MOTM too.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Great game and tactics well done to all , the players backed off over running to save fitness and injuries , good work Robins keep it up , good tactics , solid pro win

Seen the Lincoln city brothers with there onterage in the lounges before the game. What a couple of posers mincing about in there skinny fit Lincoln city tracksuits. As somebody said near them it’s not as if they hadn’t had time after training to bloody change?! Bit of attention seeking going in by the pair. Embarrassing.

Perhaps shell suits are what they class as best clobber in Lincoln. Its really only a non-league team having a couple of flukey years.

Apparently we've took the lead 21 times this season, winning 19 and drawing 2. Don't know how true that is but some going if so.

Clive Eakin alluded to it on CWR.

Apparently the last time we scored first and didn't win was against ....... Stevenage.

2nd half a non event but great atmosphere. Kelly was superb tonight, battled for everything and made great runs into the box. Very happy tonight and love Friday night games !

 

[stevefloyd]

Definitely Kelly MOTM tonight

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Second half was disappointing but maybe we were saving some energy for Tuesday.

I posted on here ages ago about our exemplary record from winning positions

 

[ccfchoi87]

Also apparently mcnulty when level with MO salah for being involved in the most goals in 2018. McNulty and salah are on 17 with James Maddison on 13.

Luton ??

I think regular Friday night games might help reinvigorate fans a bit. It's a bit of a novelty and less like going through the motions. It did Stockport County and Tranmere brilliantly in the 80s and 90s, admittedly they were battling to win supporters of nearby big clubs.

 

[Otis]

Luton ??

Yep. Correct. Eakin said Stevenage though.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Yep. Correct. Eakin said Stevenage though.

But he meant Luton

 

[Otis]

But he meant Luton

Who knows what he meant.

He probably calls his wife Belinda, Barbara, and has to write the names of his kids down on the back of his wrist.

Apparently he's also just booked a holiday in Cornwall for the summer.

Can't wait to see his face when he gets off the plane and Kim Jong Un greets him at the airport.

At least he can go to bed happy tonight knowing that we won and McNulty got a hat trick

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

Kelly definitely MOTM for me. Didn’t know he had that in his locker when he went on some of them runs, decent finish as well. Hopefully this new 4-3-3 suits him better and he’s able to get forward more often.

 

[Adge]

Yeah, Kelly man of the match. Or was it someone else wearing his shirt?:emoji_thinking:

 

[higgs]

Are the twins Vincent and stokes injured?

Surely Vincenti and Stokes aren’t twins? Certainly not identical anyway?

But no, I don’t think they’re injured. Would be surprised to see Vincenti play for us again. Disappointed that Stokes isn’t occupying the left back berth. He didn’t even make the bench last night!

 

[clint van damme]

what was the round of applause for on 48 minutes?
Some people seemed to know what was going on, most didn't have a clue.

Stokes had an injury according to CWR and that's why he dropped out of the squad and was replaced by Hyam.

The DKE's unfortunately, shouldn't be near the squad anymore I don't think and need to be moved on in the summer.

Shame, but it's a tough old world in football.

We already know that Vincenti is in need of surgery, but he has of course featured anyway. Interesting on him as to whether it is the injury keeping him out of the squad, or if it was tactical from LSR.

I looked up and saw some Stevenage fan was leaving his seat to go to the toilet, so just assumed it was for that.

I don't agree about the DKE who plays midfield, (Devon?). I think he's ahown glimpses of talent. One game in particular but I can't remember who. I 'd give him a bit longer.
Dion is very tenacious but I think he's too small for a modern day defender.

City fan who died aged 48. His son is still young and was in the crowd I think

I think Devon played really well in one game earlier in the season, but I believe it is supposed to be the other twin, Dion, who is the better footballer.

Seems to have better touch and control.

Maybe we could try Dion in midfield instead of Devon.

Didn't hear about that. Was it in the CT?
