Whilst Lincoln have picked up the odd good result of late, their away form is awful. It reads W3-D3-L9. Their last 3 away have resulted in them losing 4-0 twice against Eastleigh and Chester, whilst sandwiched in the middle was a 3-0 defeat to Macclesfield. Lincoln are fighting for a play off place so will be having to go for it (some teams have a game or games in hand around them) which will play into our hands as we have really struggled to break teams down this season.
Come on gas, I am confident we can win this one. Could be just what the doctor ordered...

Just great to have a home fixture, seems like it's been an age! Pretty confident about us at home, although as has been previously mentioned, the lack of Sinclair is a worry.
Hoping the fans are bang up for this, as well as the players.

I need football. Give me FOOTBALL!!!
Fast start needed tomorrow or Lincoln could grow into the game. Nice early goal and with that away record they'll fear the worst.

Massively disappointed I won't be able to be at the Mem tomorrow, but with it being my birthday I'm sure that's a blessing, as knowing Rovers it's likely to dampen the celebrations (tongue in cheek of course, we're gonna win 3-1).

They've conceded the most away goals of anyone in the league (36) which is why they're ninth and not second in the table. Hope we're set up to attack because we could get a few if we're up for it... ...so obviously it will be 0-0...  |

Well you're going to have to. Just like the rest of us. I'm up early, and I've got my woollyhat out, with all its Rovers badges polished. My son and son-in-law are both coming today. 4 hours and 48 minutes until we leave. |

Oh Yes!!!!!!!!!! A dynamite performance where they tore the opposition apart. Yes but we were crap. Got a penalty with 11 minutes to go. Keeper saved it and we scored from the rebound to equalise. We got the winner about 5 minutes later. A stinking hot day. My son had to put the icepack we were using to keep our drinks cool on his neck. Ugly win, but the players were jubilant at the end. We've had a terrible season and deserved some luck. |

Winning ugly is a satisfaction of its own.

I'll take any win we can get. I took my son into the local town to join the football team. We've changed teams from last year, which is a long story. But anyhow the team he plays for now play in blue & white. The kids get white shirts. But the adults get Blue & White quarters.  He's really watered off the kids don't get quartered shirts. Every local club gets a Mariners player as ambassador.  |

We shouldn't overlook the fact that Lincoln are the only side in the league to have won away from home at both Barnet and Grimsby!
They can clearly raise their level for the big games and no doubt they'll do that again today.
We'll have to be at our best to win this one because they're in with a decent chance of the play off's and are better than their league position suggests.

Well, at least Gasattack seems to have woke up this morning.
Good morning Gentlemen, Ladies. Well sit down then!
Today's task must be considered the toughest fixture of the season, and that is how we should face up to every single match one at a time. Until we put our absolute maximum into every game we will continue to drop sodding points.
Ideal fixture? They've got a poor away record? Bullshit! They will represent a very tough challenge, and you can bloody drop all this "they raised their game" patronising rubbish too - WE should be raising our sodding game! Every Game! Some of you might enjoy your days out in sodding Poundland , but i want us to make our way up to Waitrose at least then i stand a chance of blending in for christs sake.
From the whistle i expect to see high tempo, 100% effort and indeed urgency to seize the initiative, if we go a goal up there must be no bleedin let up, i want blood, sweat, tears and more bloody goals all the way to the final whistle with winning being seen as the only sodding outcome acceptable.
And if any supporters think this is one of those games we "Should win" "Ought to win" etc think again. Lincoln can definitely beat us and will if we aren't at our very best. They are also very capable of building a brick wall and parking the sodding No.54 Bus to frustrate a point out of us. Remember, excuses are for people who don't sodding want it bad enough.
Young Matthew the goals are coming now, today i want you to get more shots away, your part today must be John Wilkes Booth, and just like him you can go down in history, make no mistake about it.
Now then Darrell, you are my team leader so prepare your team, explain what you need and expect and return 3 points to my boardroom by 5 o'clock. Good luck and do us proud.
I'll see you all on Monday. Go on get out.
