Felt we were worth a point over the whole match, however we need to create more chances if we are to get back into games like this. Would like Vernam or Rose to get a few starts up front.
Also would just like to add that every single one of Toffolos throw ins were “foul throws”. Stood half a yard on the pitch for most of them (including the one just before they got the corner they score from).

Yes,they’re ahead of us with their development but they were non league two years ago. They’ve kicked on , we haven’t....sound familiar?
Multiple Investors creating a large cash flow buffer, lucky cup draws, cup wins versus teams who are “focusing on the league” TV money on the back of all that and a manager who’s a media whore no wonder they’ve “kicked on”! Lots of things have clicked to provide them with the budget to win this league. They only have a couple of lads on long term deals so when they go up their financial commitments will inevitably increase but their gates won’t so like the Scunts they’ll need propping up by directors to kick on again. Time will only tell whether their growth is sustainable or not. |

Back hours ago. Poor contest but I don’t expect much from derby games in an aesthetical sense. Don’t think Dean got much wrong other than the ‘robust’ aerial duels he gave yellows for. Not much consistency with his bookings for time wasting though because their keeper should have gone off for a second yellow for the same offence. He is good value though I’ll give him that - he would have been brilliant in the old silent black and white films for his facial expressions.
We didn’t threaten them at all really other than the one their keeper nearly threw in and they didn’t need to move up to second gear at all after their goal. We have five (?) strikers on our books but as others have said it is undoubtedly our weak point. For various reasons this is not an easy position for us to fill but we won’t progress until it is addressed.

I'd give the young lad Burrell a go in the next game, even if it's just from the bench. Looked mobile and lively in the reserves the other day

Totally agree. He insisted on that formation at his previous club, they got relegated. When he came here, he started with that formation and we kept on losing. It was not until he went 4 4 2 that we started getting results.
We have now played 4 games in January, not scored a single goal, not got a single point, all under the 3 5 2 formation. Coincidence? I think not
Have you been to any of the 3 previous games in January? Apart from yesterday we haven't played 3-5-2 since first game of the season. |

360 minutes without a goal. Is this a record?
Yep. Longest run since September. |

If we are going to play 3-5-2 why the fr!g do Thomas and Cardwell come out wide to collect the ball....??...surely the idea is to have your wing backs bomb forward and your 2 front men to be in the box to accept the cross...
I have to say MJ obviously wants to go this way but I'm just not convinced it's a formation that will reap real success in league 2...
Young manager wanting to play modern football in a league that is old school....maybe he needs to have a rethink, get stability through the squad, be contented with mid table this season then push for promotion/play offs next season...

I didn't mean a striker necessarily, although i do think we need another experienced striker on the books, to cover/assist the usually excellent Thomas. We've not got much experience up top after Thomas. I think we are lacking in players who can create chances, especially in wide areas. The move back to wing backs for us has come as no surprise, and to be fair, we are still tinkering with players and formations, looking to get the right blend.
I think a lot of posts on here about us sitting too deep and not creating anything are a bit skewed. Teams like Lincoln, and most sides at the top end of any league, will push other teams back, even more so at home, and it's why they are at the top end of the league. It's ok saying we should push up more, but when you are playing a better side, which Lincoln are, then that is easier said than done.
We've had a horrendous run of injuries and suspensions, quickly followed by a very tough run of fixtures. We are also blending new players into the team, and changing formation at the same time. I think it will be a rough few weeks before we start to hit our straps again. I didn't panic when we had that losing run, and i didn't get too excited when we had a good winning run. This season is about building the squad and the team, and there will be ups and downs along the way.
If you had pushed up too much and we would have hit you on the break more You need pace in this division wingers than can unlock the defences ,we are hard to break down and will press to try to make teams made mistakes. So it was hard for you to get at us because of the way we are set up, Carlisle did us using pace & some neat football. January window is the toughest ,teams don't want to sell their best players ,prices can be over inflated ,then add agents to the mix. Getting that player in that will gel straight away isnt easy ,we had a few signings that took time to bed in last January. Things can take time to blend together its not like Jolly is Russell Slade who was clueless. Football has changed since we were out of the league ,if we go up to L1 then we will need investment to be able to compete in that league. You have to have blind faith its part of being a fan |
