Here we are with a double edged sword.
I was looking forward to this game going ahead, just to see if we could record back to back wins, with the "fringe" players. It would have been a good confidence booster and would certainly set off alarm bells at other clubs.
Alas, not to be, but it does give us breathing space to allow the injured to get fit.
Then of course, there's the fixture build up.

Just getting in the car to set off too Almost 12.30 pm and it's not even posted on the BN website yet. Very poor indeed. It's more than a 2 hour drive Bolton to Lincoln and I wonderhow many have set off without knowing? Perhaps Marc Iles doesn't know yet! lol

The match reporting should have started anyway so Marc would probably already have known it wouldn’t be needed so they could at least have published something well before now. It is a shame the games not on as Lincoln are out of form just as we are beginning to gel. I was fully expecting another 3 points today but alas not to be.

Just for your info whites, my name isn't david... Still not posted on the BN website at 10 mins to kick off. Perhaps, Marc is stuck in limbo somewhere, en route. So, it's all eyes on Parky at Shrewsbury... lol

Bck to normal for Parky then. ..... lol Next week might be a problem for us though when they play Southend?

I'd be hoping that Parky can pull off a win against Southend whites.
The stats aren't convincing though, well with the goals for, there's only a difference of five between them. Goals against is a different story and we know that Parky likes to "park the bus".
IMO, we are looking at Southend, MK Dons, AFC Wobbleydon and Tranmere in the mix to get us out of the relegation spots, with Accy and Lincoln outsiders.
I still think we can do it, based on -12 and hopefully any other deductions next season.
I don't understand why penalties shouldn't be associated in the season that the offence incurs. If it did then the Brentford game is past and we only have to worry about the Donkey game.

Not seen the pitch but would it not be feasible to delay a kick off for an evening or even the next day?
Could be wrong but im sure all postponed games could have gone through either later in the day or today.

Could be wrong but im sure all postponed games could have gone through either later in the day or today. In most cases you’re probably right OM, the games off through rain probably could have been played later or the following day but the organisation of staff and policing couldn’t just be rearranged that quickly. I do though think games could be rearranged much more speedily than they seem to be which just creates fixture congestion at the end of the season. Hopefully we won’t get knocked out of the FA Cup early but should we do so maybe we could utilise a weekend to replay one of them. As for Sunderland, I would expect them to beat Southend easily wots, which is obviously good for us and for Parky. I also agree with your struggling teams and the longer they struggle the better our chances. I know games in hand aren’t points but if we could win them all, which is by no means impossible by the new year, then we really are back in with a chance. I’m not completely writing us off yet but losing to Rochdale could end up being a critical game which if we’d won would have made all the difference. Speculation after one win but you have to have hope.

I think our season may be defined in the next four games. Any good result against Fleetwood would be a bonus. Then we have three cup finals with MK Dons, Accy Stan and AFC Wobbleydon. Southend a few games later. Let's assume 13 points and we are still a little off the mark, but it's a springboard to the second half of the season. It'll stack the ground and put a few more pennies in the tin.
It'll be a miracle if we can pull it off.

Completely agree wots, our season could well be decided over the next 6 games with most of them real 6 pointers as they say. At least with KH we know that the team will be set up and going out to win those games, not just try not to lose them as under Parkinson. As always though it’s down to confidence and if we can get on a run and stay relatively injury free, I see no reason why we can’t do well in them all. Time will tell but the performance at Bristol has given me new confidence that despite enormous odds we can get enough points to stay up.

Why hasnt this been rescheduled for tonight or Saturday? Also our game against Accrington has not been listed as a fixture on BBC website. Just an error or have they rescheduled that too?

I’m led to believe that the police in Lincoln wouldn’t sanction the game this Saturday due to problems they had with fans after the cancellation, though it seems pretty obvious if there was a problem, it was due to both the lateness of the postponement and the fact it didn’t appear on the BN web site, rather than general disorder. They probably consider that playing it on a week night will lessen the crowd and reduce the problem? I don’t suppose last weekend has helped either? It’s a great shame as I was looking forward to going but never mind it will get played some time!!

It’s a great shame as I was looking forward to going but never mind it will get played some time!! Not being funny but the games going to be played regardless. You cannot put it off forever. Just take the hit on tickets and limit the away allocation. But again why not tonight so both teams have weekend to recover. Wet, windy tuesday night. Will be fewer fans. More drivers and no "stag do tagalongs" real fans only. Dont get it. Do lincoln want more fixture congestion around christmas?
