If Lincoln can see out a half against us away from home - fear they can do the same at Cheltenham.

They have got a bit of Ainsworth era Wycombe about them. Horrible anti football. But effective.

It's only effective because referees at this level are too weak to do anything about it. I really do hate these sorts of teams. You can be a route one/play the percentages side without cheating.

Oh yes I totally agree. It's pushing the rules and then some. The referees in this division are a joke, look at that clown last night - he thought the Sky cameras were there to see him.

If Lincoln did go up would be interesting to see how that football would wash in the championship

 

[Wandering Yellow]

We lost to Cheltenham at their place didn't we? They're cack.

There’s an art to embracing parts of it and rising above it (keeping your cool) when it’s going against you. We do neither and come unstuck time and time again.

we've done it as well. GK going down injured vs Ipswich so ref has to stop match.

 

[MC Yellow]

Surely Blackpool winning helps us so I don’t understand why people are cheering on Barnsley?

We’re going to have to win against Exeter and if we do, Blackpool can’t catch us. But Barnsley losing means we can still catch them…

Yup…

It means that we still need to win but we then have two chances for other teams to mess up rather than just Lincoln

Looks like it’s going to be out of our hands

Blackpool 3-2 Barnsley

Well yes, Ainsworths Wycombe often did us in at their place employing such tactics.

We embraced shithousery when we had the likes of Chris Maguire, but those days are gone.

Everyone hates shithousery against them but loves it when their team does it.

 

[Leysboy]

Full time Cheltenham 1-2 Lincoln

Only ourselves to blame.

There's a difference between the occasional cheeky bit of gamesmanship though (Matty T pretending not to know which side of the pitch to go off when we won at Manning's MK Dons comes to mind) and making your whole identity as a team faking head injuries, taking 45 seconds every goal kick and fouling excessively because you know the referee is too weak to send off half your side.

Full time

Blackpool 3-2 Barnsley

 

[Concretebob]

I guess it's out of our hands.

Been a weird season truth be told.

 

[Dilla]

Feels like that is it now but who knows a week ago I thought the play offs were in the bag for us!

 

[oufc1991]

Simple now we have to win at Exeter anything less it's season over .. Lincoln were always going to win against Cheltenham but that Blackpool result could be huge if Barnsley can't get a result against Northampton because if we won Barnsley also have to win .

It's up to Des and the boys now to show if they have what it takes to be considered promotion material

 

[Jon-ioualways]

Full time

Blackpool 3-2 Barnsley

Good...so Bollockpool only increased their GD by 1

They’ve had that opportunity for the last two home games.

Only to choke in front of a couple of bumper crowds. Why will that change at Exeter.

Same reason it did in the previous 3 maybe?

 

[MateoCorbo'sTackle]

Let’s forget what’s come before, however hard it may be.
We need to win, and as a result better the result of either Lincoln or Barnsley. It will go to the wire.
