Vital 1st Team Regular
I think nearly everyone understands that MR, even the post-Ipswich ones like me.
But there's no merit in saying something is good if it isn't and overall today it was.... mediocre. That would apply if it yielded three points or no points.
I totally agree that over-reacting to setbacks is ridiculous but we see the same thing in reverse when things go well, which is equally unrealistic.
Over these four holiday games we've seen probably 60 minutes of good football - the first 20 minutes against Newport, the first 15 against Cambridge and the short spell in and around our goals there, and about 15 minutes of the second half today. Crewe was a write-off.
Aside from that 60 out of 360+ the rest has been a bit purposeless. A lot of perspiration but not much inspiration.
This team is better than that. I've seen a lot of non Lincoln City football in the last few years, much of it abroad and this side's target should be to win the League. Not because I'm a johnny-come-lately and expect it, but because it's clear to me they're capable of it.
Completely agree we weren’t at our best today, and even that would have been enough but for a great strike at the end. Fair play to the Vale, a proper football club.
