REDOXO Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Burnley! Congrats Lincoln. Perhaps you can show us how to beat someone else in the next round! Fulham perhaps or maybe Huddersfield or Blcackburn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gert Mare Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Let's put things into perspective.....We lost to Burnley and never expected to win. Burnley have subsequently been knocked out by non-league Lincoln City. NON-LEAGUE Lincoln City...at HOME. We have spent millions and are slip sliding towards the relegation zone. Our form is dreadful. We are running out of games. We are going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Liverpool, Chelsea, Everton and various others also didn't win at Burnley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 I'm not optimistic about staying up but you can't read anything into cup games. Middlesborough were runners up in both FA and League Cups in 1997 and still got relegated. I didn't like them at the time but in retrospect LJ's decisions to field weakened teams in both cups was correct; if we were still in a cup then IMHO we would already be in the bottom three.

22A Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Thirty years ago (1986-87) on the last day of the season, dependent on their results, it was going to be either Lincoln or Burnley who were relegated from the League. I was amazed the press and even LTFC didn't pick up on that. Well done Lincoln. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tears in rain Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Cup games mean nothing they are just one offs. Burnley are a good side at home but Lincoln were so pumped for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Rich Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 You can't use one off cup games (particularly the FA cup) to compare results. If we followed that logic it would mean Burnley were only as good as a conference side or Lincoln should be in the premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 And we scored against Huddersfield whereas Manchester City didn't, that must mean we're better than them going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 And presumably our defence is also better than Man United's as we stopped Blackburn from scoring and they haven't. This could go on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 @bristolcitysweden was suggesting we appoint the Lincoln manager Danny Cowley weeks before this cup run.. Maybe we should listen to him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can look at the underdogs in all those games: Burnley v Chelsea/Liverpool, Lincoln at Burnley, and us at Burnley, and wonder where our motivation, inspiration, desire, togetherness, spirit, guts, organisation and a well thought out plan clearly evident, got to. How come Burnley and Lincoln have that in spades, but we - with our "highly thought of" HC, whom we are "lucky to have" - appear to have so little. Why is all this lacking? Is it because our fans are sh1t? Our forum is negative? Is it because Nottm Forest won the European Cup, so we can't expect to be on a "par" with them? Or because we do not have parachute payments? Or that we are not "accustomed" to this league? What possible bollocks can people on here come up with now/next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
