Post-match views from the Match Thread:
imps_joe: “That it is a really stunning win. It might not have been pretty but who cares. I can’t imagine Oxford fans will have a particularly positive view of Lincoln but who cares? Gives me hope that shithouses Stevenage can do a job on them.
A really special defence performance again bettered only by the Lincoln City fans’ atmosphere.
Keeps our hopes alive!”
PortMacImp: “Can you believe it? We live to fight another day and all we can do is win the games ahead of us now and hope other results go our way. Jensen was superb and Erhahon let nothing past him in midfield.”
PerthImp: “OMG. What a win. Great performance under immense pressure. Having said that, Oxford didn’t really show much composure. Just worry that we are running out of players with all the injuries – worry that it won’t do us any favours. Just a word for the ref – JOKE – complete joke who didn’t do himself or the players any favours at all. Think it’s time the refs had a complete look at the standards of refereeing & how they make decisions because the majority of refs are a joke now – eternal vicious cycle- bad decisions end up infuriating the players and frustrating them even more. On to Cheltenham – much harder after they won tonight.”
