Who needs facebook for that when we have Hulloutpost's reportage.Brilliant for the Thursday press conferences though - albeit you don't need a Facebook account to view them. Fan sites definitely to be avoided.
Spot on- it was a good stretching save to tip it round the corner. Not JA's best penalty but a good save from the keeper.
so, is it the way that we set up [cautious] that allows these teams to play well against us? they must start the game with fragilities, trepidation, 'what are the top of the league team going to do to us'. then we don't dominate midfield, we hardly threaten the keeper, they realise they aren't going to get hammered, and their confidence grows. it is like top team or bottom team - we level the game out and get into a scrappy dogfight, because we are a team with dna to be the scrapper, the underdog.
Yes watched it again. Penalty definitely saved, not missed.
Well presumably because he's perceived as a record signing on top wages so expectations naturally higher.
And I'll keep cheering him on but he hasnt yet lived up to those expectations, whether they were realistic or not
absolutely. thinking back to around then, we were playing more fluently, and for longer periods... notts [h], exeter [a], i thought we also dominated the cheltenham away game.Remember what happened at Tranmere? Best 45 minutes of football I'd seen from a Lincoln side in years. And then...

so what's happened since...no coincidence that pett was playing in central midfield in all of those games, and right on top of his game?
Indeed, he was moved to the right, to fit McCartan in behind Akinde. I assume all because Bolger was injured, meaning Bossie had to go back into defence. It didn't work.Let's face it, we play a very defensive game. One up top with a deep-sitting mid-field. It has been very effective so far. It isn't always great to watch.
I have an ongoing discussion with Imp79 about this and we both agree that, occasionally, it might be worth playing 2 up top and trying to put weaker teams to the sword. But I don't see that ever happening.
On another point, am I right that Rowe was moved out wide? Why on earth would you do that with a player who has just scored 3 goals in 2 games playing centrally in the link role?
Only read the last 2 or 3 pages of this thread(!) but for me the disappointing part was we didn't really work their keeper, don't remember him making a save? Smith actually had a few, even if most were straight forward.
Agree were not seeing Freck arriving in the box to support much at all, maybe O'Hara's role when eh beds in with Bossie as DM.
We had lots of corners, but as I've said before I don't think we're as strong in the air since Waterfall/Raggett left (see Waterfalls goal v Wolves), hopefully Bolger will improve that., so didn't look threatening.
As for the penalty, I thought I saw a World Cup player miss the goal by considerable distance last week, so it happens. I think John is suffering from the expectation. In the top division many times you hear of record signings struggling with this, I think this is L2 version of it. Not sure what the answer is
Don't think their keeper will have an easier afternoon all season.Worked their keeper for Bruno`s goal.......he hit the deck like a bag of cement.
On a slightly different tack, did anyone get any pictures of the away area with the, ahem, inflatables??
