It is rare for the money-obsessed turf accountants to take their eye of the ball.
Have they done a poor assessment of the chances of Lincoln City's chances of promotion this season?
A brief assessment of their results this year suggest that they are on course to achieve promotion.
Two statistical summaries show they have been hugely impressive over the last 11 months.
FIRSTLY
Their record for the last 17 League One fixtures in the 2023/2024 season is magnificent.
Played * 17 * * Won * 12 * * Drew * 3 * * Lost * 2 * * Scored * 34 * * Conceded * 10 * * Points * 39 * *.
This included a three game spell in which they scored 16 goals. 5 of those against us.
SECONDLY
Their record for their last 15 AWAY League One fixtures in the 2032/2024 and the 2024/2025 seasons is seriously impressive.
Played * 15 * * Won * 9 * * Drew * 5 * * Lost * 1 * * Scored * 25 * * Conceded * 14 * * Points * 32 * * .
Their only defeat since January 1st 2024 was a very unexpected one against Crawley Town on Tuesday 22nd October 2024. They lost 3-0.
Whatever Crawley Town did in that fixture must be our gameplan.
Interestingly, ALL of the Lincoln City AWAY draws in the last eleven months have been 1-1.
My suspicion is that Lincoln City have gone under the radar.
They should be a hot tip for promotion based on their long-term achievements.
Can we hamper their chances of promotion this Saturday?

Their form since the arrival of Michael Skubala is of a promotion team.

Interestingly Michael Skubala was never a footballer. He started out teaching PE at a college. Maybe we should rethink the PE Teacher jibes I've seen thrown at some of our recent managers!?

It shouldn’t be a surprise that teachers in general, as you’ve shown, do well as football managers. Usually teachers are good at communicating, teaching routines and systems and generally passing information to others. No surprise to me. Always been a theme that you have to have played football in order to manage at any level. When in truth I think that those managers who’ve been footballers do well because they have the attributes of teachers and are able to communicate their ideas and vision well. Some footballers are great footballers but can’t communicate and pass ideas on very well. UTG! |

Most of our managers seem to have P M T not PT.

The PE teacher jibe always confuses me…. All teachers :- Roy Hodgson Gus Hiddink Rinus Michels Gerard Houllier Louis Van Gaal Rafa Benitez Paul Clement Howard Wilkinson Mostly now all 60+ years old? Perhaps the game has moved on? No doubt it’s moved on but not on the way you might assume in respect of that list. The reason more likely that not many people go into football from teaching now is actually because more people are opting to not go into teaching and instead are using their education to head straight into coaching. Coaches are starting younger and are required to be far more educated than ever before. They don’t need to have played the game and wait until they retire from playing before embarking on coaching. More and more coaches are opting to not play and are educating themselves with sports science, data analysis and sports psychology from a much earlier age. The coaching qualifications are almost equivalent of a degree or two. The B licence and A licence are intense time consuming and difficult. The Pro licence requires a very high level of intelligence and business acumen. In the top academies now the staff are often under 25 and alongside their relevant football qualifications they are almost exclusively graduates in something that dovetails or subsidises the football. In order to coach (even at schoolboy level) they needs to be proficient in presentation skllls, personnel skills and extremely computer literate in order to log, record, analyse, interpret and ultimately draw relevant conclusions from each coaching session to be able to provide each player with a tailored individual programme to work to. All this is required in the YDP (Youth Development Phase) which is 12-16s and by the time you want to coach at PDP (Pro Dev Phase 18-23) it’s through the roof….. If you get through all this to make it into first team management / coaching you’re as educated as they come….no one is really getting time to have a career teaching first! The truth is, coaching and teaching aren’t that dissimilar and coaching has moved on so far you’re essentially a teacher already. |
