PS: Should you be fortunate enough to defeat Braintree Town be prepared for their whining, moaning manager (one Mr Devonshire) to acknowledge the defeat with some sort of backhanded compliment such as "but we made it easy for them." If you happen to play them off the park he won't admit that.
My favourite Lincoln moment last season were our games against Braintree (then in the playoffs I think). Owing to their appalling pitch they had a fixture pile up which meant we played them at home on the Saturday and then away on the Tuesday of the following week. We beat them 2-0 at Lincoln and Mr Devonshire remarked: "We know what Lincoln are like, a big tough physical side - and good luck to them - but we didn't cope with it and need to learn our lesson."
Too soon to learn the lesson as we then beat them 2-0 at their place on the Tuesday. Magic moment.
I wouldn't mind but Braintree are a big, tough physical side who can put it about.....however every time they lose it is unfair odds against them.
"Mummy, Mummy their centre half keeps clattering Mr Marks."
