A-ha! Free from horrible year-end meaness for a while, I can start to blog again!! I hate year-end panic with a passion!!
Since last blogging we have lost to Boston *hangs head in shame* but thumped the Grimsby Codheads 5-0; put on some terrible displays (case in point - Saturday against Bury, managed to grab an undeserved point against a side fighting for their survival) and some terrific ones, like yesterday's fantastic 3-0 away win over Wycombe Wanderers. Our unbeaten run in 2006 came to an end on March 18th. Not a bad little run there!
So here we are, sitting two points clear in 7th place (61 points, goal difference of plus 11). My Bank Manager is quivering with fear at the prospect of payment for a fourth consecutive play-off adventure leaving my account in a hurry. With only four matches to go, the Imps really need to keep on top form if we want to have yet another bash at getting promotion "the hard way" (trust me, it is hard when you fail so many times in a row!!).
Our run to the end of the season is as follows:
Saturday April 22nd Leyton Orient (h)
Saturday April 29th Shrewsbury (a)
Saturday May 6th Rochdale (h)
I am, as expected, totally traumatised. We are in pole position, our fate is in our own hands. If we keep winning, we will be in the playoffs. If we don't, we might not be, and that is what is most worrying!!
