Day 104

Taylor's goal yesterday marks him as the youngest ever Lincoln goalscorer, at 16 years and 359 days. That's a pretty cool statistic. Hopefully the youngster will bang in several more off the bench as the season progresses.

We had our first backroom meeting in two weeks today (my, how time flies). I heard the usual training and new player recommendations. I don't think we'll do anything about the recommended players after scouting them, with the sole exception of central midfielder Michael Woods. A free agent, the 21 year old is pretty good, from what I've heard. If he's better than Power, he could find himself with a contract offer.

I thought it telling that Grant Brown suggested I drop Joe Anyon due to poor form. I was seriously considering just that, especially with a quality keeper such as Mark Halstead in reserve. I'll be playing Halstead for the Reserves tomorrow. We'll see how he goes there, then make a decision.

We've been drawn against Buxton at home for the FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round in two weeks time. Buxton apparently play in the "Northern Premier Premier." They're semi-professional, and their only known player is Bradley Barraclough—on loan from us. I'll be shocked if we don't crush them.
