Match Thread: Derby County v Lincoln City

[mikeosullivan]

Linesman was five yards behind the play. Definitely looked offside.

Adelukan making it harder for us to offload him as each game goes by!

An awful attempt at a through ball, Derby break and it’s game over unfortunately.

Not rubbish but if you have a crap youth teamer or you have a player capable in this league or the one above there is only going to be one outcome when it comes to put the ball in the net

Then a shocking pass from Hakeeb to gift them the ball for the attack for the third.

 

[Norfolk Imp]

Let’s face it, until our sicknote Strikers come back we’re literally living off scraps … great decision to drop an in-form TJ wasn’t it?

Game over. Was he offside? There have been plenty of good spells of play from the Imps but we have come up against a team capable of exploiting our mistakes.

Indeed we are the nearly men - that was nearly a good pass but it wasn’t it went to them and they showed us how is was done.

Double bugger...

Come on you Imps let's have our second, third and fourth goals!!!!!!©

3-1 is really harsh. No doubt someone will tell me that is rubbish.

It is harsh I agree. But they have shown quality in the final third when they have a chance. We haven't .

 

[Jules]

This don't deserve a goal thing is a bit daft. Quick corner. Good play. Quality cross. Good play. Out jumped us. This can and did on this occasion get them a goal.
So deserved.
If you play like Makama did. With no idea. No aggression. No quick thinking. You don't deserve it.
It's not always on territory or possession. Quality counts. Quick play counts. Aggression counts. If you do these things at the moment it counts. What's not deserved?

Please also note. I'm not saying they don't deserve a goal for that specific move, I'm saying they don't deserve to be ahead based on the balance of the match. There is a huge difference between the two and you are arguing the toss about a completely different point to the one I initially made.

We need to protect goal difference as Derby are the better side. Tough to say but that’s what I expected and what i’m watching.

Not sure that’s made the difference to be honest. I think the back 3 have done well.

We are completely toothless going forward.

 

[ccolt79]

3-1 a bit harsh on us.. but we deserve to be losing. we just have literally zero quality up front.

 

[mikeosullivan]

They deserve their lead because they have been miles better than us in the final third.

We’ve matched them in midfield and had a decent amount of possession but we have nothing going forward in the final third.

 

[bristolimp]

we are very lucky there are some shit teams this year. Our team is a very good five a side team but beyond that and particular up front we look like Sunday league. The balance in this team at present is shocking but that’s not surprise is it

 

[weRimps]

Disappointing evening and a disappointing few weeks.

Cannot fault their effort at all but it's so painful watching us attack. Getting beyond our midfield looks such hard work. Subs also don't really make much difference.

Okay. Fair. But I see the game a bit differently in that moments matter. And that balance is often immaterial if you can't finish

 

[Jules]

So, Vale got booked but their player didn't?

 

[bristolimp]

James Collins has always been an arse glad he got a leveller

 

[bristolimp]

I am glad we kicking them now. Can beat them bugger up their next match
