Match Thread: Lincoln City v Burton Albion

Mmmmmm, my daughter's request to play Barbie with her somehow seems a step up for my afternoon entertainment.
 
Predictable result, circumstances maybe a bit different. We played better without Danny. Can't see where the next goal or point is coming from though.

I’m quite hopeful for today.

We’ve lacked a preciseness in recent weeks, not just in front of goal but on the ball progressing up the pitch and making the wrong decisions. Hopefully the two Ethan’s can get on the ball and dictate play and we press with energy off the ball.

A good opportunity to amend that today and inject some positivity in the playing aspect of the club.

UTI.

My fault for being optimistic. We hit self-destruct. That was dreadful.
 
I’d fine Danny a week’s wage. Maybe two.

Fucking horrendous tackle, what was he thinking?

Why we keep 5 defenders on the pitch at 1-0 down is beyond me.

That performance had absolutely nothing to do with a lack of a natural striker.

Hope the fan is okay.
 
Beaten by a mediocre team. We never looked like scoring as our only creative attacking option at the moment is a long throw from Adelakun. It is always going to be tough to come from behind when we have no forward line.
 
I know it’s a long season and there’s mitigating factors and I’m not suddenly saying oh kennedy out but I have to be honest and except for the odd games I’ve been so bored watching us playing under MK. It’s just after a game so trying not to say anything stupid but I’m just so bored. I don’t mean it in an entitled way and I don’t expect us to win every week it’s just quite boring to watch and I kind of feel numb about a win loss or draw atm. Might just be me and hopefully things improve soon.
 
Basically, the trouble was - with that squad of players and while we had 11 men on the field - we couldn't break down a side playing a 6-3-1 formation.

And it was yet another goal conceded from a corner.
 
FT. A typical Dino Mammria team performance. Every time his teams do the same to us. Really well organised and solid and just nick one on the break or from a set piece. Hellishly boring to watch. Now, Lincoln City. Getting a bit fed up with the negativity of our play. We have some wonderful ball players but they seem constrained to retaining the ball at all costs, even going backwards from the front. For goodness sake let’s try having a go at the opposition. Give our ball players the chance to show what they can do. My gut tells me that’s what Danny Mandriou is getting so frustrated about. His performances have been getting more and more frustrated and I do wonder if he will want a move come January because he’s had enough of the negativity. I see some frustration in Ethan Erhahon as well occasionally. I may be missing the mark completely but I just want a it more entertainment and players to show what they can do. I’ve held off commenting negatively until today but every week now it seems to be the same - just about possession. Just think we need a bit more inventiveness and intensity and gamble a bit more with finding the space in and around the box. Oh well, at least Danny gets 3 games off now to get his mind in the right space.

I think many feel the same.
 
I don’t care if we win, draw or lose as long as the players show desire and commitment. I did not see that today from the players apart from a couple of them.

Recent wins have come against the poorest league one side I’ve ever seen at the bank and the poorest u21 side I have seen visit the bank.

Erhahon stomping down the tunnel when he captained the side not long ago isn’t a good look, Mandriou with extremely poor discipline and rightly a red. Is the dressing room with MK?

Our form is terrible and our performances have been terrible too.

To dip in to the free agent market and waste money on Shodipo is horrendous judgement too.

Ah the joys of being a Lincoln fan!
 
In all my years of being able to watch every game via iFollow, this is the poorest coached City team I can remember. Decently drilled defensively, but absolutely zero tactics going forward. "Boring" too as others have rightly described it.

Burton conceded possession to us for the whole of the first half and we had no style of attacking at all.

Even late in the game after the sending off, our only attacking ploy was Adelakun's long throw and aimless long balls punted into the box from the left back position.

Awful. And nobody should defend MK because House and Walker are injured, although that will probably be his get-out-of-jail free card with the board. He talks well, but his tactical acumin is badly lacking.
 
Would of taken mandroiu off at half time he was awful gave the ball away far to much and holds onto it for to long then blames others when he makes a mistake. idiot
 
Oh dear!
How much have we really learned since two defeats to Burton last season?
We‘re genuinely unlucky in some respects but you have to make your own luck!
What does Duffy have to do to get more than 5-10 mins?
