The plus points are, We didn’t get beat We kept a clean sheet We have better players returning from injury. Holloway is no where near the club anymore.

hadn't realised that. Good point, especially as the other 3 have played together for several seasons now
Yeah it had only just come to me when I remembered that Waterfall played for the gimps. They were both regulars throughout their promotion back to League 2 so a couple of years constantly playing together. Can only be a good thing for the team.

Two poor teams on an even poorer pitch. There was plenty of endeavour but no quality.
I'm afraid Preston is now a weight around the teams neck, he's terrible. Hewitt and Spokes do okay in front of the defence but offered nothing going forward may be drop Williams in there because up front hes excrement.
Jackson has a great touch, wish he could get more game time as in think the more he played the better he will be.
We need a midfielder who can pick a pass and create things for the front men.
Everyone gets on to Green and he deserves most of it but when he (and the other forwards) is constantly going looking for the ball instead of going for balls played into areas he can attack he will always be on a loser. This is why we need a creative midfielder more than any other position.
Massively disagree regarding Jackson. His first touch was much like The Shop - dreadful.

Lincoln also only conceded 40 gaols in the 2016/17 season and 48 in the 2017/2018 season so together they should be defensively sound.

The problem with Jackson was I think underlined by Hurst the other week about players just running around. A couple of times near the end of the game today, an under pressure Scannell needed and expected him to come short to help him out and he made the wrong run on both occasions. Often caught trying to make up the five yards he's out of position. He's got something about him, but not enough, and at twenty three he should be much more the finished article than he is. It's nothing to do with levels, it's to do with instinct and knowledge. Shame, because he's a trier and been in the right place at the right time on a couple of occasions, but his all-round game isn't strong or mature enough for the pickle we are in, and if we survive, for the building of a promotion chasing side..

The optimist in me thinks playing the ball into his feet isn’t going to get us anywhere if someone can get him to run in the right channels and then have the quality to put the ball in front of him we may see more from him. The realist says that like Gibson, Williams, Spokes and a few others he just isn’t good enough from what we’ve seen.

The love in for Morais on here is baffling me. Yes, he's shown a few glimpses of quality here and there, but nobody mentions that when he's dispossessed he's even slower than Pollock in trying to catch up and regain possession. He'll be a bit part player under PH as he hasn't got the engine to make us difficult to play against. Absolutely criminal we've given an 18 month contract.
I've even seen people on here suggesting he should be captain. Get flipping real.

I think Jackson might be decent if we were doing well and making lots of chances. We are not in that position and I thought he was less effective than Green when he came on which is more of a reflection on his performance than on Green's.

That’s your opinion of course. Lots of us see it differently. We also need quality out of what we have at the minute and Morais has plenty. Just what Hanson needs......

Composed, very fit for his age, doesn't tend to give the ball away, can cross, always wants the ball, encourages others. Yeah, we are awash with those kind of players at the minute.........
