Match Thread: Lincoln City v Portsmouth

Came into it a bit in the last 15 minutes there, with Pompey for some reason getting pissed (especially #44). Hopefully we can up the intensity in the second half, keep it a bit tighter at the back, and get the win
 
Well, that wasn't very relaxing. Actually finished the half on top. That period of madness actually seemed to help us. Hopefully Skubala can make some tweaks at half time and we can come out firing and grab a goal.
 
Still in our hands at the half. Coaching staff need to do their thing and get us sorted out. No more nerves and must up the intensity. Ref is useless so need to keep our discipline. We can do this.
 
Such a crucial game and we end up with this referee, who is missing some very easy calls. Our midfield will need a tweak for this next half and we can trust Michael Skubala to come up with a solution. Fortunately we are on even terms and it is still in our hands.
 
Think we’re fortunate to be in 0 0. But still in this and with the other results we know we have to win.
Portsmouth are a very good team and bossing midfield. Erahon has been strangely quiet. Think the midfield injuries are telling again today. They are finding lots of space down our wings.
We’ve been fairly persistent with the long ball and they’ve defended it very well. Maybe playing with the win will make a difference 2nd half. We look most dangerous from set pieces (though some have also been a bit poor).
Roughan is having a tough tough game.
Referee completely lost it in the last 15.
