May I wish their directors, manager, players and supporters a pleasant stay with us and a safe journey home. Well, after what I had called a bit of a shape their ambition. mini-storm of poor results with a distinct lack of goals since November, the I do believe though that in Lincoln’s dressing room has partly bounced back case, they have already demonstrated in the last few weeks or so, with 6 very they have a very strong inner belief and valuable points in the last four games, a very good mentality to win football with 5 valuable goals, albeit all in one matches. They are very much a club game, with 4 clean sheets in those last together, they are it seems incredibly four games and, thankfully that return focused and they’ll know the most has moved us back into the top twelve. important thing is to simply concentrate on the next game in front of them. Tonight though we face what I’d best describe as the team of the season thus They will already understand that a far in the visit of league leaders Lincoln semi-final defeat hurts but it’s only about City, a side who have captured the the end game and promotion that whole nation’s imagination, but who will will matter for them come what may. perhaps be hurting tonight from their FA At present the Lincoln directors, their Trophy defeat to York City on Saturday. management, players and supporters are still armed with the memories of Any semi-final defeat hurts, but for them what has been a quite sensational to be just 90 minutes from a first trip up League and FA Cup campaign. Wembley Way will undoubtedly be seen as an opportunity missed. That said, Their FA Cup run has I believe, genuinely I’m sure Lincoln will be thinking it’s how now re-written the book for modern they react to adversity that will define non-league football clubs in what their season. It’s perhaps now a test of can actually be achieved in that their mentality and inner belief that will competition as even clubs as low as www.bwfctv.co.uk I @BOREHAM_WOODFC I www.borehamwoodfootballclub.co.UK I 5 those in League Two now it seems want from being PE teachers, or whatever to play weakened teams for what we jobs they are in, to creating careers in still see as a major competition. football management that can possibly take you to the very top levels of English Just a few short weeks ago, I watched football. big clubs like Brighton and Hove Albion, Ipswich Town and Burnley tweak their As such, the Cowleys have brought teams and were put to the sword by such positive publicity to every club at this wonderful Lincoln City side and our level, but it is perhaps a lesser known management team. Not for one minute fact that the two Cowley brothers of the games I watched were Lincoln Danny and Nick for a brief time, actually playing the underdog role of nicking a played their football here with us at goal and hanging on for grim death. Meadow Park, under previous manager No, this was different, they were not Ian Allinson. lucky, they were talented, organised, controlled and in truth more than They were in truth two very hard working deserved each and every cup upset guys, who have before and since they achieved. earned every reward they have ever received as players and they are now But on that footnote, I’m sure that the deservedly, through their astonishing whole of Lincoln would now swap, for track record in management, earning instance, their 2-0 Trophy win here three every accolade that comes their way weeks ago, for a 2-0 league win here in the management department. This tonight? It’s about the end game and as season has seen sustained success and I said above, for Lincoln City a day out improvement coming quickly in their at Wembley will not define their season Lincoln tenure. That instant success has as it’s only ever going to be about them probably even taken the lads and the rejoining the pro ranks once again. club by surprise but from the outside looking in, I would say It is just reward It would though perhaps be apt for for simply being the best managerial them to regain their Football League partnership in the non-league game at status in this, the year where as a club present. they lost their old gaffer in Graham Taylor. It was perhaps Mr Taylor who Again though it does prove that over gave the Imps, until Danny and Nick a period of time, hard work and care Cowley came along, some of their best is often rewarded, and if hard work is memories historically and is a person the order of the day then let’s hope who is remembered so fondly. this is their season. If it is, then they’ll be handing Lincoln, Danny, Nick and their So after tonight, I genuinely hope that hard working dressing room the league Danny, Nick and of course Graham title at the end of April.
