Hopefully he'll avoid jail. It's not he did a proper crime, like selling weed on a street corner or robbing some food.

Or, the most heinous of them all, driving to Barnard Castle 

0-0

Lincoln have drawn more games than any other in the country this season. And don't let in many.

1-1 (Knight)

…and I’ll take the dropped points now if it guarantees we don’t lose out unbeaten run to ‘Where There’s A Blame There’s A Claim Wanderers’

They would all gloat like they’d been asked to be a guest speaker at an ambulance-chasers convention

We need a more direct replacement for McGoldrick's link up play than anything else. It's not as if McGoldrick does much pressing. He just chooses the times to do it. When you have the wingers and Knight buzzing around you, and Hourihane lurking around the edge of the box, you don't need to be a pacy forward to bring the best out of them.

Absolutely this! ????

The call for a pacey striker doesn't really fit with the way we play. I appreciate it would give us 'something different', but lets be honest, how many times will we play teams that offer the chance to run in behind? Most teams we play will sit in and we have to prise them out or play through them - that needs guile and technique, not pace down the middle.

The Chris Martin that we all recall would be an ideal alternative for McGoldrick, but whether he's still that player; whether he is affordable and whether he is willing to play as and when are all unknowns.

Well done Rams tonight, gave them a game.

Gave them a win is more accurate.

What, are you suggesting that Knighty is a Deadly Highway Man? Hope he's not holding the club to ransom.

Thread starters come and go but without @B4ev6isthere is no run.

Whenever I see B4's handle written out I can't help but think he's telling everyone his router password.

Our season was well and truly brought out of it's slumber by a combination of them both.

To quote the late, great George Michael...

'Wake Me Up B4 you Diego...'

I'll fetch my coat.

The really sad thing about this thread is that if the Club is running at a loss this season - despite restructured/eradicated legacy debt and heavily capped playing resource costs - then football is well and truly forked. If we can't break even on 27k average crowds, God help us all.

Jeremy Simpson is a truly atrocious referee. I’d rather have Homer Simpson in charge 

They have one thing in common... a liking for DUFF thinking

We should not underestimate the power of being the chasers. The closer the current top three get to the finishing line, the heavier each step will feel to them.

League cup semi finals are either side of this round so Sky will have that to consider when picking the TV games 

FA Cup isn’t in Sky, is it? Thought it was BBC and ITV?

I simply don't get that people are reporting that we're unbeaten for 16 games. If that were the case we'd still be in the League Cup, but we went out (ie a loss) to Liverpool at Anfield. Our unbeaten run is a magnificent 11 games, 8 of them in the league. However, if we're just looking only at league matches, the unbeaten run there is also a magnificent 11 games (though only 5 wins and 6 draws).

1. FAC Rams 3 Barnsley 0 W
2. LG1 Rams 4 Accrington 0 W
3. LG1 Rams 1 Cambridge 0 W
4. LG1 Bolton 0 Rams 0 D
5. LG1 Rams 4 Forest Green 0 W
6. LG1 Burton 1 Rams 1 D
7. LG1 Rams 0 Wednesday 0 D
8. FAC Newport 1 Rams 2 W
9. LG1 Portsmouth 0 Rams 0 D
10. FAC Rams 5 Torquay 0 W
11. LG1 Milton Keynes 1 Rams 3 W
12. EFLCup Liverpool 0 Rams 0 LOST ON PENALTIES
13. FAC Torquay 2 Rams 2 D
14. LG1 Morecambe 1 Rams 1 D
15. LG1 Rams 4 Bristol Rovers 2 W
16. LG1 Rams 0 Exeter 0 D
17. LG1 Ipswich 1 Rams 0 L

While we need to start winning more games, we do look as if we're likely to do that from now on. Also, this list of results highlights the fabulous defence, not conceding in 5 games and only letting in 3 in the last 12, including that trip to Anfield which I think was the making of our current defence, giving them massive confidence.

All football statisticians count games decided by penalty kicks as drawn fixtures.

Thinking the same as you 2 points a game is the bench mark to keep pace within the play off race

We're well inside the play-off places now having won an average of 1.7points per game; what the need for improved returns to stay there?

10 points every six games from here will see us in the top six.

Connor Wickham any one?

I’m less worried by Knight not playing than excited by McGoldrick, Dobbin, Collins and NML who are. Great top line

Warne's first match was against Cambridge, going in to which the team were seventh in the table, level on points with Barnsley in sixth, and earning an average of 1.55 points per game.

Warne's next match is against Cambridge, going in to which the team are sixth in the table, level on points with Wycombe in seventh, and earning an average of 1.59 points per game.

Statistically, there is very little difference between the Warne and pre-Warne league fixtures this season.

Clearly on form right now. If someone in the Championship offered say 500k for him in January should we take it and make a profit? 

And spend the money on what exactly?

From Pride Park to the World Cup Finals. Quite a journey!

Mind you, I’d pick Phil Foden  ahead of him if I  were England manager

We really have turned into a bottom half league 1 team haven't we ?

Not only that, we’ve chosen to become that 

He claims to be Simon Hart, but that looks like BC to me.
