So a fantastic season comes to an end. Was expecting mid table at the beginning of the season, so get to the playoffs and win the checkatrade trophy is an amazing achievement. I’m obviously disappointed, but, I’m proud of Lincoln tonight.
I hate the play offs.
Better side probably won, but we were a bit unlucky really. Official’s decisions didn’t go for us and two absolutely stunning goals for Exeter. Having said that don’t really hunk the Cowleys will be too happy how any of the goals came about.
Personally think 4-3-3 hindered us today. We had no support going down the wings and were overrun in midfield. Unfortunate that we were forced to put Botswick in defence because we missed him cleaning up the bits and pieces and stopping Boateng. Lots of aspects of the game we have to improve on, in particular the basics like 5 yard passes, crossing, and controlling the ball. I think we really should have had a few shots from range. Their keeper knew what wasn’t coming. However, I’m so proud of the boys they kept going until the end despite the poor officiating. The ball just wouldn’t drop for us today.
Hats off to Exeter; they defended us very well and looked the more dangerous team going forward. Good luck in the final.
Safe journey back to the lincoln fans that travelled.
Before the playsoff I said I’d rather have the Cowleys for another year (or more) than get into the playoffs. Good times ahead. Think we’ll see a fair few changes to the team next season. We all know we desperately need a proven goal scorer, which we’ll have to shell some money out for. Think there are a few players we’ll be looking to improve on. I think we need an extra few bodies in the squad next season considering we were the walking wounded at the end.
Now to enjoy the savage disappointment of England in the World Cup!
Edit: Brilliant interview from Danny after the game. What an asset he his to the club.
