I think we’ll win this one. I felt we’d win it even before Evans left - who, by the way, might be a pantomime villain but what a fantastic job he’s done with them on the field. God knows who he’s upset behind the scenes, mind!! I suspect the players will be gutted but let’s not be naive, when...

Yes, until it doesn’t work and it was really what Lincoln wanted too. Then I’d want something else but seemingly we didn’t on this occasion and just kept going for it.

Burey plus filling a squad slot with Edwards who was expected back around this time but still on crutches. With so much dependence on the wide players, we needed reliable. Dale you don’t expect an issue with but we’re in the hands of the football gods hoping Browne and Murphy can stay fit and...

Oh don’t get me wrong, I think that’s exactly what Des sent him out to do yesterday - “go collect it and find Murphy and Dale faster” and that’s absolutely fine, if your wingers aren’t completely spent, as you say. It was really just us banging our same head against the same wall and we need...

Well one loss since New Year’s Day, 11 wins from 18 games (I think?), suggests they probably do know a thing or two about finding solutions in games. I doubt they’ve had their way in all of those games but haven’t lost them. We needed to not lose yesterday. We were just a tad entitled...

The diagonal balls look fantastic… but in practice what you then have is a winger quite isolated 1vs1 with a lot of work to do. I could understand it more if Cam striking the ball triggered the full back to make a lung-buster to get beyond the winger to make a 2vs1 but we didn’t attempt that...

Cam has a tendency to do what he wants and it’s hard to knock him for that - he’s all action and wants to effect games. It’s natural instinct. But that’s not what the role asks for and he lands other people in trouble. He’s part of a team. McEachran just seems more mature in every aspect - he...

The trouble with Cam is his decision making and recognising when to take a back seat. He’s been fantastic for this club but shouldn’t be immune from criticism and in my opinion he made us worse yesterday. He needs to realise there are good players in this team who can win us games just as well...

They didn’t need a second in all fairness. Plan A was just the ticket. I suspect if we’d found the first goal or an equaliser they’d have changed things around. They had to win that game and found the way to do it from the off. This ‘do plan A better’ thing is a cute arrogance to have when...

2 ways of looking at that really. Didn’t deserve the loss on events of play (nor did we deserve to win) but sometimes you do deserve to lose when you continue to play in to their hands as we did and ask no further questions of them. After the goal Lincoln sat back and forced Murphy and Dale to...

They’ve done a job on us so far. No joy with the wing play. Their shape is excellent. Going to take something special to get us back in this.

Lincoln have defended excellently this second half. We’ve got no answer currently.

Wrong choice Tyleerrrr 🤦‍♂️

I think most will agree but worth noting that without injury to Moore and Brannagan on Saturday we wouldn’t have seen what was lying beneath and it’s now quite difficult to drop McEachran, Stevens and Long who all had good games. Those enforced changes make us feel instantly better about what we...

Interesting that when re-introduced on Saturday he played as one of the 8s. How long have we been imploring managers to play him further forward? I also particularly liked the he was the first to get over to Bodin to celebrate his wonder goal. Not sure what was meant in commentary by helping...
