Match Thread: Accrington Stanley v Lincoln City

[Scotimp]

I may be tempted to give Scully a start on Tuesday - he looked creative when he came on.

He did, and I also think Hopper plays better with Scully or Johnson alongside.

I didn't watch the game today Domski but do I detect you are disappointed with LCFC this evening?

I feel better now old guard thanks. Nothing that a beer can't fix. We are clearly going to struggle against the less refined sides. Accrington had some very good tactics to mitigate our threats. They have a good manager who despite his age is not a dinsosar. Bridcutt frustrated me today playing behind the back four to collect the ball and avoid his man to man marker. Grant is wasted on the left wing but weak when a battle is required when he moved into the midfield. I impose higher standards onto these two because they are what makes us tick.

More and more looking like being in the mix for a play off place at least.

Away points against the likes of Accrington and Fleetwood when we come away frustrated we haven't won, confirms this.

Teams still to play in first half of season

1 Hull
2 Peterborough
8 Sunderland
12 Wimbledon
15 Gillingham
16 Northampton
18 Swindon
20 Rochdale

Biggest disappointment is how little we worked the keeper.

We did work the post a bit though.

Just wish could work the back of the net!

Heavy winter pitches don't look like being our friend. A better side would have punished the generosity of our passing judgement today. Not sure we are able to mix it up by being more direct.

Glad to here the beer is working! It's one of those .You know? Here we are at the right end of the table and we are looking for more. Nothing wrong with that until we remember just how much we are punching above our weight.Any way time to get back to the Fishy. Such fun

The ramblings of a drunk. Has Wurzel been on the cider early?

To be fair, I thought it was a good interview. They are in the shit, he knows and said as much.

Anyone disappointed by today consider that the point gained today takes us to 11 points on the road this season.

Last season we gained 10 in total

Isn't he in the comedy This Country ? Oh dear, Mariners, what have you done?

Would have been funnier if Hollow had used some physical violence. Sometimes I wonder how managers keep their calm with local media of such a low standard.

Might want to think again on the house move.

 

[Davidimp]

A little worried about our lack of goals in the league, maybe time try a different system?
Hopper does a great job but doesn’t get many chances and the others need to help him more.
3 goals in the last 5 league games, the longer it went the less likely I thought we'd score even after the red.
Could be a cod though lol!!!!

Ma has said many times this is a work in progress.Accrington have done well so far this season andplayed less games then anybody else if they win there games in hand i think they are top 5. Going to there place and getting a point is a good effort. We have started the season well some people may get carried away we are not going to win or score every game lets be thankfull we are where we are. As forpens we win some and lose some no good being like lambert and co and dragging yourself down to there level we cant change the outcome

 

[Clive Ford is back]

Really feel Scully needs to start, he's always a threat. In place of whom or in what formation though I'm afraid I have no idea.

Sorry but Accrington will do exceptionally well to finish in the top half. Still a good point but should have been three.

I think they will.be.happy with top half but at the moment they are doing very well. We can only look at results so far and to be fair they are no easy beats

I thought Jones was very lucky to stay on today. Thought the game really went by him. I am not convinced a midfield of Jones and McGandles works. I would prefer to see Grant, Bridcutt and one of the other two in the middle.
