Match Thread: Lincoln City v Mansfield Town

[Red Wimp]

Think both Blackburn and tonight may show we are not first team strength in defence when squad players are used...otherwise pretty decent in rest of team.

I guess normally would be Wharton/Wilson as options

 

[Skip155]

Deary me, not a great start to our defence! I do feel a bit sorry for the fans that paid for that. Not sure what introducing Jamie McCombe when your losing was hoping to do. Going to be tricky to get out of the group from here!

Oh well as long as we do well in the league.

Perhaps the clue is in him heading inches wide from a free kick.

 

[Norfolk Imp]

There's time for an O'Connor rocket yet!

The wrong kind of rocket

 

[MaineRoad_96]

And correct. Boycott certainly childish

So you say

 

[Barney Imp]

Back to the league...

Just need to beat both Wolves and Scunthorpe....

 

[JT_LCFC]

Mansfield came to rough things up, horrible tactics to be truth. Maybe trying to gain a few psychological battles knowing we are top of league not realising we have made 8 changes.

In truth though Mansfield probably shaded and experienced showed. Flitcroft has always been a sh*house.

I think Danny has made it pretty clear that our priority this season is a top 3 finish and rightly so.

100% correct

Threw a punch apparently

 

[Red Wimp]

Rewatched the sending off, not a lot in it

Says a lot when futcher is the peacemaker

Crap game, best forgotten, lets get on with the league now.

The wrong kind of rocket

Not quite what I was after.

I was just saying bringing on a defender isn’t the normal things managers do when they’re losing. Did you genuinely see it as a positive substitution?

 

[DEEPING IMP]

Woodyard missed last penalty so Posh out.

 

[Snats]

Obviously I never want us to lose, but I'm quite happy for us to go out of this competition early and focus on the league. Even with a bigger squad, fixture congestion takes its toll.

I'm not there don't even know where he played - I imagine it was a throw of the dice in hope.

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Commentary pointed out that as Bostwick was maybe struggling a bit, as McCombe was the only central defender on the bench he had to be the player brought on to replace him.

 

[cherryexile]

I don't think we have seen the back of the Checkatrade quiet yet.

Yes - Bostwick was struggling, need to protect him for Saturday, or at least not exacerbate any injury.

Still plenty of points to be played for in the group stage.
