In the event of a defeat it would be great if KLD came onto the pitch in the first few seconds after the final whistle is blown with a basket of P45s and handed them to each and every one of them. Obviously with an unwavering smile throughout. No promotion = no job in my opinion, they have had long enough to get this right the time for ****ing about is now over.
And a Paulo slap round the chops for each of them<ok>
 
I'm going for a 1-1 draw and unfortunately we know what that means. Delighted to be proved wrong.

If we don't get to the final, I think the axe will swing very quickly on the players. Could even be a few departures Sunday/Monday.

I don't think Speakman will hang about once we know which League we are going to be in. I'd be amazed if the list hasn't already been drafted for each scenario. They might as well break the news to the players straight away, as there's no point in delaying it.

Imagine if we are another 2-0 down and they get the bullet at HT :emoticon-0104-surpr

I'm going to say we'll win 2-0 and force extra time/penalties. If we don't make the final or even if we do and we don't go up, I won't be too downhearted as I have every faith in KLD and the people and systems he's putting in place to get us promoted next season.
I’m already looking forward to next season - in the same league but with a supercharged team.
 
We have to go for it big style if we are going to pull this back , I would rather toss the kitchen sink at them and fail . Early goal is required to cause them some anxiety and we have to have to ramp up the pressure so we need to field a team with an attacking outlook . The fans need to sing our hearts out for the lads and the players have to put everything they have got in to the game - no hiding places at the SOL tomorrow . No silly mistakes can be made we can’t give anything away or it could be game set and match , we have to batter them all round the pitch , they have a lot of young players in their squad and if we pressure them they may panic -here’s hoping . 10,000 have to make the noise of 40,000 and we have 90 minutes to put this right .
 
I would love to see us get an early goal - fans going mental, then see how it affects Lincoln. They've got form for going to pieces, we've just got to crank up the pressure. I'm going 3-1 to the Lads!

We were 3-0 up at half time at their place when we played them in the league, so it’s possible to get the 3 goals, hopefully :biggrin:...I’m clutching straws.
 
Cheers again RTB for another fine write up. I do hope you have to do another one this season.

Some of you may have noticed I was a tad upset after the performance the other night and stated this in a not so eloquent fashion. Well tomorrow is another day. My confidence is back and f*ck it for all the dirty tactics they will bring to the game lets hammer them. A nice little early Richie Pitt type tackle should let them know they are going to be in for a tough game.

4-1 to the cuddlies.
 
They will be lifted by the crowd. hope we will tear lincoln apart tomorrow and maybe they will make mistakes and bottle it Liverpool vs Barca ?, teams have been lucky against us in recent games and i hope they change the goalie tomorrow. Maguire, Diamond, Leadbitter, Mcgeady, gooch in midfield, Stewart, Wyke up front, bring in the under 23 lad for Flannagan, we need a Doncaster performance, i would even get burge up when we get a corner, got to go to the match.
