Roy's View From... Pre-Match View From Lincoln

[Roygbiv]

Hardest View From since the L1 days this due to lack of comments. Are they the smallest club we've played in the league for 10 years?

Pre-Match View From Lincoln — The View From

"Thank God proper football is back!" "back to the Championship campaign - and what a fixture to restart on! The lads are on the road again, this time at Bramall Lane (capacity 32050) and an appointment with Sheffield Utd. Can we pick up where we left off? Looking forward to seeing how the squad has

Yes. It's good to be back. Oh and a gold medal

Bert will have to avoid his Gentleman's Club for a while if this goes wrong.

 

[Tickhill Blade]

Look as these, actually excited that the international break is over!

 

[Gimli]

We’re back! (Sadly)

 

[Roygbiv]

Look as these, actually excited that the international break is over!

I remember that feeling

This is our first league fixture against Lincoln since 1983-4.

Since then, we have beaten them 6-2 over 2 legs in the league cup in 2000-1 and lost on pens to them at the Lane in a standard pathetic league cup showing 3 seasons ago after a 0-0 draw.

In 1983-4 we won 2-0 at Lincoln thanks to a King Keith brace, one a beautiful free kick, and drew 0-0 at home in a dour contest. We also played them in the 2nd round of the FA Cup, drawing 0-0 at Sincil Bank and winning 1-0 at home with a last minute back header by Paul Stancliffe from a corner. A young John Fashanu was in the Lincoln team I remember.

Their most recent, and only, victory in the league at the Lane was a 1-0 win at the end of the forgettable 1982-3 season. Lincoln came close to promotion to the second tier two years running, but it took them 40 years to actually do it.

Lincoln are almost perfectly set up to beat us at the Lane. Good solid defence, tall, fit side, shoot well and counter attack well. Their away defensive record is excellent (although it's a small sample size).

It could get ugly.

and yet they are still giving it out expecting a win, our seeming fall from grace just seems to get worse!

Got my visit to see family and friends in Lincoln out of the way earlier this week to avoid embarrassment

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Cheers Roy. Our lass is a yellow belly so she's been waiting for this one.
She's going to be unbearable if we fuck this up.

 

[Ecco1889]

Must win game for me,CW said he was working on things during the 3 week international break,I hope it works out for him

 

[Houston_Blade]

That first comment is the exact opposite of how I feel.

 

[Harry's Game]

You know you can actually see Lincoln Cathedral from Sheffield? If you go up to Ringinglow on a clear day with a pair of binoculars… Also Humber Bridge and York Minister,

Now you may be thinking “ whats that got to do with football?” and the answer is ……absolutely nothing

You may also be thinking “those are pretty boring facts.”… and you would be absolutely correct…

But…. I think I can safely guarantee you it’s all a lot more interesting and entertaining than anything we are likely to witness tomorrow during the 90 minutes

 

[Davalon]

I like a bit of over-confidence in the views from but in fairness it's literally a handful of comments.

Hopefully a half respectable performance and win of any kind from us, otherwise I fear the natives will get restless or even worse, apathetic.

Tomorrow will be my first time seeing us play a home fixture in the League against Lincoln.

I did see us play at Lincoln in the League on a Wednesday night in Sept 1982. Blade fan Gordon Hobson had given them the lead just before half time. During half time I was leaning on a crowd crush barrier watching the Blades fans running towards Lincoln fans and one of them running was my Uncle Ronnie so I grabbed his arm to say hello to him. He was startled to see me there as he knew that I had stopped going to matches regularly because I was playing football on Saturdays. He didnt know what to say to me but on realising that I shouldnt have stopped him running I then told him "off you go" so he carried on running towards the Lincoln fans!

When is the next international break? Time drags between them.

 

[Ned the Donkey]

You know you can actually see Lincoln Cathedral from Sheffield?

Fact Fans: For around 4000 years the Great Pyramid at Giza was the tallest building in the world, till, in the 14th century it was beaten by Lincoln Cathedral, which then held the record for a couple of centuries.

You can actually go into my garden and see the sun on a clear day ,without binoculars, beat that.

I never resist a challenge …

you can see the Andromeda Galaxy, 2.5 million light year away, with the naked eye if you look into a dark night sky away from city lights

 

[Cheeky Blade]

‘withstand the initial 15-minute wave’

We’re not Brighton…we look like we’re still on the beach.

They're substantially better than us, aren't they? My money would be firmly on Lincoln.

 

[Grappler]

Cheers Panchero!

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

Love it when teeny weeny tiny little clubs fans think they’ve earned the right to call us ‘blunts’

 

[mattbianco1]
