How many meaningful saves did the Lincoln keeper make?
Long was at fault for both goals
MM looks good in that defensive role because he has so much more time in there. Get a bloody imposing holding midfielder in and get McGuane higher up the pitch with CB.
Taylor was isolated, again!
I’m sorry but Robinson is losing it. Been the better team in every game/dominated first half tonight/injuries to those injured are just unlucky.
All of the above is utter crap and if he thinks the supporters are just going to accept that ‘it’s football’ then he must be an ostrich.
This is Robinson’s squad.
- Robinson recruited Jones, who’s played next to no football for 3 years and is yet to be trusted to start a game.
- Robinson signed Baldock, despite knowing his injury record over a long period of time.
- Robinson signed Browne, who he knew had chronic knee injuries previously.
- Robinson signed Murphy who managed 10 (TEN!) games last season.
We’ve got no competition for a full back in Long, who has had one outstanding season at this level. Beyond that, he’s been bang average and in fairness to him, he’s probably playing to his natural level right now.
Seddon (who I thought was ok tonight) was recruited by Robinson, before being unceremoniously dropped by him last season, only to then get the nod again this season! He’s not good enough.
The excuses must stop.
This post is absolutely spot on.
The injuries KR constantly points too are a downfall of his own making, players he’s chosen to sign despite their known history. It drives me insane listening to him roll that line out every season & fans lapping it up. Every team suffers with injuries over a season!! and a proper balanced squad would address this, not to mention not signing players who have spent most of their career in the medical room only to wonder why all your players are injured.
To say we dominated all the games we’ve played is pure delusion, even if he is only defending his players in public, to make that claim and state the boo’s were for the result not the performance is just laughable.
I refuse to believe anyone who watched today actually believes the current squad we have is going be anywhere near the top 6. The teams have faced are all at best average league one sides, we’ve yet to face a top team and I really am not looking forward too it at this rate.
I am seriously worried about this season based on what I’ve witnessed from this squad, the glaring issues at the back are still yet to be addressed despite knowing in April that we would be playing league one football and would need new full backs, that’s is simply crazy to me. We are now struggling to create chances going forward as we have no natural width, we lack pace, our midfield isn’t strong or athletic enough and our forwards are being sent long balls to try to make something of as we are struggling to play out from the back with no clear outlet on either side.
I do really do not think I’ve seen one good performance for this squad yet, the first half today was as poor as it gets & the Derby, Bristol & even Cambridge games were not any better. The second half tonight was okay at best, it was not great as some would have you believe and I didn’t feel we looked particularly threatening for most of it despite having more of the ball & the only reason we were able to get on the ball more was because Lincoln took their foot off the gas.
Struggling to see where the points are going to come from and I also think the way KR has handled the recruitment and now the media after such a performance, it could turn sour pretty quickly.
