It is rare for the money-obsessed turf accountants to take their eye of the ball.
Have they done a poor assessment of the chances of Lincoln City's chances of promotion this season?
A brief assessment of their results this year suggest that they are on course to achieve promotion.
Two statistical summaries show they have been hugely impressive over the last 11 months.
FIRSTLY
Their record for the last 17 League One fixtures in the 2023/2024 season is magnificent.
Played * 17 * * Won * 12 * * Drew * 3 * * Lost * 2 * * Scored * 34 * * Conceded * 10 * * Points * 39 * *.
This included a three game spell in which they scored 16 goals. 5 of those against us.
SECONDLY
Their record for their last 15 AWAY League One fixtures in the 2032/2024 and the 2024/2025 seasons is seriously impressive.
Played * 15 * * Won * 9 * * Drew * 5 * * Lost * 1 * * Scored * 25 * * Conceded * 14 * * Points * 32 * * .
Their only defeat since January 1st 2024 was a very unexpected one against Crawley Town on Tuesday 22nd October 2024. They lost 3-0.
Whatever Crawley Town did in that fixture must be our gameplan.
Interestingly, ALL of the Lincoln City AWAY draws in the last eleven months have been 1-1.
My suspicion is that Lincoln City have gone under the radar.
They should be a hot tip for promotion based on their long-term achievements.
Can we hamper their chances of promotion this Saturday?
