| Lincoln City v Swansea City : Match Thread on 07:47 - Sep 16 by Dr_Winston | Lincoln quietly get on with adjusting to the division and currently sit eighth whilst Cardiff fans make up xG tables "proving" that they're in a false position. |
Last night was a massive night for Lincoln. Michael Skubala was poached by Bristol City straight after getting Lincoln promoted in May. Two of their coaches have stepped up to take joint charge. The coaching staff and most of the team were there when Skibala walked out so felt they had a point to prove. How much this midweek match will have taken out of Lincoln whilst we will have had a free week we will see on Saturday. I feel that the strength of our bench will prove to much for them as we can work them very hard from the start. I'm going for a 0-1 win. |  | |  |

I see they are now claiming second for successful crosses and third in number of pies sold at half time without brown sauce. |  |

I think you're correct in that the BC game will have taken its toll on the Imps come Saturday, especially emotionally. 1-3 Swans. |  | |  |

The most shots, the most corners, the most crosses = 4 points |  |

They need Russell Martin as manager to point all these things out. |  |

Clearly not! I just watched the extended highlights. As you’d expect, it looked like Bristol had the better chances but Lincoln’s goal was on par with Idah’s for us against Burnley, a big defensive / keeper error. Highlights aren’t particularly reliable though. |  |

A bit like Cardiff City then! |  | |  |
| Lincoln City v Swansea City : Match Thread on 18:00 - Sep 16 with 2011 views | SullutaCreturned | I think they could give us problems, their striker is 6'8 so expect a lot of high balls into our box. Matos will obvioulsy be wise to this and it depends on our press. If we can restrict them to crosses from deep so Ladofoged (sic) always has his back to goal we may be ok. They will work hard but our pace on the break may hurt them and our passing game may run them into the ground, hopefully. I don't think it will be easy though. If we score early it may turn out easy, the longer it takes us, the harder it gets. |  | |  |

Yes any team can beat anyone, but alot of fear from people with this match. They aren't world beaters. Yes they have a good record with defense but it's no fear for me We're 2nd in the league for a reason and have alot of creativity. Yes we have struggled with teams who sit back but for me this match is the perfect time to show we can learn from past teams doing this to us. 2-0 win Bring it on 😜 |  | |  |

That's as simple as it gets. if we have any thoughts of promotion or even the play-offs, then this game is a must. Would West ham, Wolves or Southampton worry about going there? Lincoln have beaten Bolton, Bristol City and Preston North End. I think it will be 0-1. but agree on everything else. [Post edited 16 Sep 22:06]

Yes, it's a game that we should look to get at least a point from, but going in with the belief that it will be easy is a surefire way to ensure that we don't even manage that. We should have beaten Sheff Utd and Wrexham at home yet ultimately created little. A well organised side on their own patch is capable of doing the same to us and always has a chance of nicking a goal. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

| Lincoln City v Swansea City : Match Thread on 10:06 - Sep 17 with 1246 views | trampie | I'm going for a scrappy 0-1 win for the Swans, but I'm under no illusions that this a potential banana skin and it could end up 1-0 to Lincoln. |  |

But saying that being the home side they won’t be targeting just a draw. They will open out for us from time to time - just have to keep the passing quick and accurate |  | |  |

I’m in corfu and got the Burnley game perfect on the WiFi here. Going to do the same on Saturday |  | |  |

From what I've read and get from them they don't tend to play around the back and are more back to front. With ZV not the best presser it may be the right game for him to start. |  | |  |

No stick with Idah, he is the player in form and suits our style this season plus he deserves his place. Vipotnik to come on in the 2nd half. |  | |  |

This. Plus Idah will have the energy to press them when they open up (if we have managed to take the lead by then). |  | |  |
