Simply won't be good enough

Quoted from barralad

Notice Codger and Denni have made their expected appearance. What do the pair of you do when Town win? Go on holiday?

Hook. Line. Sinker.

In football there is often a fine line between success and failure.  Last night was a prime example - we were not at our best but missed some great chances and made some bad defensive errors.  Lincoln tactically got it right and worked hard to knock us off our game.

We ARE a better team  than last season with BETTER players and playing much better football.
Still think we will be ok - remember folks it's a long season!

Im staying out of this one  

Good idea , going to wait till Saturday to make my mind up , will read all of the heated comments though . Seems like a 50/50 split  to which camp you are in .

So they're just trolling.

No. Barralad just seems to single my posts out to bite on. In all seriousness, I just don't believe that Paul Hurst has the the nous to get us out of this league. Losing Boyce is a big blow, but that's only part of the story. We need to stop worrying about what teams can do to us and concentrate on what we can do to them. If PH has a good squad (he says he does), then let them prove it.

Better players, better squad but so far the same inconsistencies, to win this league you have to get results against mid table teams like Lincoln.

The problem last night was we didn't assert our game and react quick enough to change a game we could easily have lost by half time.  

A clearer picture after 10 games is the normal call but unless we win the next two games we are going to be sitting outside the top 5 and as the title of the thread states it "Simply won't be good enough".  It's the manner of lost points and inconsistency that will cost us.

Agree with some of that, however the usual bunch only ever jumping into the discussions after a defeat and being notably absent when we're doing well is not helpful. Not aimed at yourself, you've put something constructive into the argument although I'm not sure about the Boyce situation.
I thought Nsiala was fine mostly, but the weakness on the right brought about by a player just not on his game (Bignot) led to the whole back four being pulled around. A player of Magnays quality at LB (I'm never 100% about Thomas tbh) and we'd have a superb defence. First half Pittman was stuck in our half helping out Bignot. 2nd half he pushed forward and was excellent but others had to pitch in to help with the troublesome right side. Disley unfortunately has a top speed of 'plodding' but his input is so valuable, just sporadic.

I too doubt we have a great squad, we do have a very good starting 11 when they're all available but that fragility is still there, a player drafted in, a tiny bit of tinkering and we seem to become shaky, the passing game becomes hard work and we inevitably let in a goal from the first or second strike on our goal.
We're struggling particularly to match the vigour and energy of teams that want our scalp and are explosive out of the blocks, something PH seems unable to match so I would concede that PH does have a few holes in his tactical approaches.

So speaks he who wanted him gone prior to the 13 goals weekend an outburst that you haven't yet had the good grace to apologise for.

I don't understand why someone who has the opinion that Paul Hurst isn't the man for the job should 'apologise' (who do you feel he should apologise to btw?) because of two flash in the pan results??

i dont have anything to apolagise for.  and as for the  papaer over the cracks weekend.  we did that before, and we are still here
