DPL vs Lincoln

It seems like a very long time since we played Lincoln City; it was probably in 2003-04. They spent 6 seasons out of the EFL, but having returned last year and come up, they could emulate Luton Town with 3 wins already out of 4.

They will be very confident and are probably a far more settled force than we are and may well have probably invested more heavily in spending on players than us. A striker to replace Marquis is understandably very difficult to find especially at this stage in the window. It seems increasingly likely that we have arrived too late at the market and a fair slice of our budget will have to remain in the bank, uninvested.

I think we may be fortunate to hold the visitors to a draw but I will go for 1-1, May the scorer.

Personally, yesterday was the start of what I believe will be a brilliant season. I said at beginning of this season if Moore can get us some pace upfront we will surprise alot of teams. Our defence was solid apart from our right back who may well be our of the starting 11 if he doesn't sort himself out. At fault again for their goal.
Nice to see Lawler get an assist too. If it turns out that the big centre forward Moore has been after for a few weeks does sign this week, who will start, and, who will start on the bench.
Big decisions to be made from Moore, yet I'm getting more confident after every game. I think Copps will start less games and May will be a bench player.

As I did not get up, thanks for all the comments on the game - I've just seen the extended highlights. Donaldo, how was your iFollow quality watching the highlights? Mine was the worst so far - video quality was awful, and there was a brief interruption about once a minute. The same is happening with pre- and post-game interviews (at least with those the video quality is OK, it is just the break every minute or so). I did email Rovers' Media but have had no response.
That first goal by Ennis was amazing - I do not think I ever saw Marquis bring a ball down like that, have it immediately under control so he could turn his marker, and then fire an unstoppable shot. OK, may be it will turn out to be a flash-in-the-pan, so let's wait and see. If he is that good, Moore will have selection problems if he does land his Number 9. So far, the "kids from Wolves" are all right - what a birthday performance from Cameron John (if it was as good as the Free Press says - although the foul just outside the area was stupid).
At the start of the season, both full backs gave me nervous breakdowns (I know Hound quoted some successful tackle statics for Halladay in one game), but James seems to be improving, and goes forward in a similar way to Andrew. Halladay seems to have totally lost his way - stationery and switched-off for Lincoln's goal.
I'm much more confident for a good season than I expected to be at this stage - the longest undefeated start for many years. It should have been 5 games - I see Bolton lost 5-0 again.
Donaldo, Pauline, my wife, and I are MASH addicts. Memorable TV, an over-the-air channel, show two episodes of MASH Mon-Fri at 19:00. We usually watch them even though we saw most of them when first shown. However, when I was at my first company in the USA, I had a colleague who just would not watch MASH. He had spent two dreadful years over there and said "There was no humour in Korea" (of course he said "humor"!)

The iFollow extended highlights extended and extended, stopping every few seconds, although when I dipped into the whole-match broadcast it ran smoothly. My communication route has been to email the service providers principally and copied Rovers Media in. They have both responded, but obviously their efforts to put things right have not been entirely successful.

I do have a bit of a problem with my internet speed unfortunately which has made me slightly more cautious in my criticism.

I see Bolton Wanderers takeover fell through at the eleventh hour yesterday and they only have until tomorrow to sort it out.

I apologise for the lateness in collating the Fleetwood results which are now below with the Lincoln ones.

I think that we now have a wider range of potential scorers which we have to get used to - only Nookie put his faith in Ennis.

Several of us seem to lack belief in our new line-up with me are feeble-minded as any.

Sorry - yes - I’ll add that.

Hi Donaldo, I also predicted the correct score for the Lincoln game, I think. Thank you.

Uthred, Crazy: I've amended my Excel sheet so the revised figures will be brought forward and well done, by the way.
