Same team as dover game. bench Marshall, henderson, jpp, robertson, pearson. Good to see JP back so soon

Mackreth must have really pi$$ed off Hurst.

happy with that, c'mon town!  
heading down to the pub now :)

Quoted from ginnywings

Mackreth must have really pi$$ed off Hurst.

He's clearly deemed as not being good enough, and, quite frankly, I agree with hurst.

That's football.

UTM

I don't think he's great, but he's certainly performed better than Marshall in his recent (few) games.

Delighted JP's back. Feel for MacKreth, I would have given him the nod over Marshall but not much in it. Very strong bench.

I also feel that he is a better bet than Marshall, which is why i'm surprised. Looks to be on his way out.

Can anyone see activity in the Jan transfer window?

Yep hurst just said he wants 2 more players.

Mackreth seems set for the exit door; his performances for the ressies and whatnot would have him ahead of Marshall for me but we don't know if he's shown a bad attitude on the training ground.

Not been good enough overall but shown enough recently to at least stake a claim for the bench. But hey ho that's football.

Please don't let town choke in front of a full house and tv!!
Strange quirk of the fixtures that Cheltenham and FGR are playing Kiddy and Torquay again so think 3 points is crucial

Looking forward to this one.Think the Guisely game being called of has done us a advantage eg more rest than them.Hopefully Cheltenham slip up at some point though

Alabi not on bench ?

According to the pundits expecting almost 9000.For a 5th tier game thats amazing.When Eibar played Barcelona in la liga a few weeks back they got just over 5000.Says it all the passion then that exists for these clubs (more so us) and undermines where we should be in the football pyramid.Aiming long term for league 1 at best in my opinion

Stunning atmosphere even on telly

Come you mighty mariners!

BP looks fantastic full, the noise sounds fantastic.

COME ON

UTM

10 minute assessment:-
Dreadful, awful, scrappy

Town need to show that little more urgency

1-0

What a goal GTF in there! We are Town!

Gooooooooooooalllllllll 1-0 PODGE

Cracking cross and header.

UTM

GIMps down to 10

UTM

Red card for the Gimps  ;D

Don't go cheating waterfall

Lincoln a man down, well happy with that!

We're creating, need to bury another one

Time for Bogle to get on the score sheet, we are so much the better team.

Won the ball on that showing, trying to get Dis sent off, I don't usually dislike anyone or any team but I do dislike Lincoln. :-/

Why is the Pontoon dead? Liven up boys and girls!

Town need to show some composure and avoid getting sucked into rash tackles. Dis could have easily gone for that tackle

Why didn't Bogle shoot straight away. He is rubbish!

Quoted from easypeersy

Why didn't Bogle shoot straight away. He is rubbish!

He's not rubbish. He's inexperienced and playing in front of a full house

Yes Bogle's doing ok and what a cross he put in for  Amond 😀 Come on town!

The lineswomen is getting a few things wrong coukd cost us hopefully not  

that fit lines woman has made a couple of dodgy decisions. I'm very happy with the first half, haven't got going but stayed strong defensively against a physical team abd against the wind... hoping for town to now start doing what we do and knock the ball around the floor, early go to set the tone for the rest of the second half. utm

Decent half but we all know town can play better...We'll certainly have a few more chances in the next half um sure.  Set piece is going to be their weapon at the min.  Diz tackle was fair compared to hawkridges 2 foot on him.  Pundits think its a yellow and not a red.

We need to string a few passes together and not tempt to launch it.

C'mon town get an early 2nd goal and kill the game.

They have 10 men so need to make them work for it.  Remember they had a game 48hrs ago.

Monk house looks even slower on tele

Robertson on for Townsend.

We need another 'cos my nerves are rattling

Poor by Arnold he should have passed that to Amond.

Just get the feeling Lincoln are starting to believe they can get something here.

Great bit of football by Bogle and Amond, Amonds off the ball play is fantastic.

No confidence in Bogle scoring that one but he should have at least put it on target. Theyre all useless in and around the box
Great touch and footwork though. He isn't far from being a cracking player
I can see FatMan getting them a point

The commitment from both teams is making for a good game.

Bogle looks better each game I see him

Amond is a fantastic player, great lay off for Clay, great save by their keeper.

Could do with another because as things stand all it needs is a split second something to go wrong and you know they could capitalise on it, whereas a second for us would knock the stuffing out of them.....well maybe not ALL the stuffing out of Rhead! ;)

Classic Town.  One up and not yet putting the game away.  Let's get that second!!

Agree Tim, Harry and me are nervous as hell sat here, we seem to make it hard for ourselves at times, we've had enough chances to have had this game wrapped up.

GTF in!!!!!!

Yesssss 2-0 :)

Get in...Arnold

Wonderful, wonderful footie

Amond sets Arnold up for a cracking goal, well done Amond and well done Arnold,

We're all over them now.

Time to relax a bit now Chris  :)

Too right Tim, We went crackers when that 2nd went in, my poor neighbours!  ;D

Bogle and Amond have linked up beautifully today.

Marshall replaces Arnold.

Pittman on for Bogle, well done Bogle you've been fantastic especially in the 2nd half.

As I predicted, they tell us it's a sell out and actually we have 7650 out of a capacity of 9052.
Absolute poppycock full house!!
Sell all the seats in the future Grimsby Town !!!

Quoted from cmackenzie4

Bogle and Amond have linked up beautifully today.

Bogle off now for JPP

Put in a good shift today and good too that JPP's injury absence not as long as expected

Town have played well today we've nullified Lincoln, all I can recall from them is that shot from Power, we are a good footballing side, Well done Town fully deserved. :)

That's it....FT

Thanks you very much for the 3 points Lincoln ;)

Over to you Cheltenham

Spot on Chris....and now it's set up to enjoy the rest of this Bank Holiday :)

Thanks for the three points and have a safe trip back to "The Home of Lincolnshire Football"!!

Great win by town who should have won by more but if it wasn't for the imps keeper who did well.  

I can around my office in lincoln as smug git.

I'm sure Helgy will be on soon to tell us we were outsung or something. EEEEEASY!

Nice to get the score and scorers correct in the prediction not sure what the attendance was

As derby games go that was a tremendous display from Town. The movement of the front 3 was superb, they were about 1 million times better than the Lincoln forward line. Good to see Bogle using his strength more, lots of nice link ups and a superb cross from him for the first.
Podge is just class, his header was brilliantly finished and shows you don't need some lardyarse bulky player pushing and shoving his way to get on the end of crosses.

I do suggest  a peek at the Lincoln forum to finish off the day, quite how so many people lacking in football knowledge manage to gather in one place is astonishing. To be told that Town didn't deserve the win, that Dis should have gone for a challenge that was quite clearly shown on the replay to have got the ball, with studs down, that we were poor etc just gives me an extra wide smile.

Lincoln were 1 dimensional shite, as their manager admitted to earlier in the week. Town are on a different footballing planet to that bunch.

Well done Paul Hurst, and thanks for that late Xmas pressies(icon_cheesygrin)

Quoted from Fan

Monk house looks even slower on tele

But not in his head where it matters.

Monkhouse is class in a rip roaring derby you need a cool head we played some nice attacking play and but for their splendid keeper would have been out of sight. Fair play to imp fans they really got behind their lads even more when they went down to ten men. The ref was not bullied into evening the score up by the imp players screaming ay him to send Dis off fair play to him for that.

If you really fancy a laugh have a little read of this: http://www.lincoln.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=427799

Bitter much?  ;D

Always amuses me how they roll out the excuse of us being "bankrolled". We average about 1200 more per home game. Let's say that an average ticket is £12 plus maybe £2000  extra revenue per game due to the extra people (conservative estimate) and that works out at nearly £350,000 more coming from gate receipts over the course of the season. Our budget is bigger because we're a bigger club, it's not like we're Eastleigh or worse, FGR. Still, it was all the ref's fault today and not your inability to make more than one decent chance. Take Farman and Rhead out of that team and they're in the bottom four.

What a bitter foolish article😂😂

Ha, was posting my thread at the same time. What's the level below tinpot called? ??)

Deluded imps.  Everytime they lose to use the first thing that comes out that gob is budget followed by our fans were awesome.

The idiot called Nathan a Twerp, Sour grapes!  ;D
