“This club has accepted and been a victim of mediocrity for too long.” (Q&A)

“Promotion, simple as that, this club has accepted and been a victim of mediocrity for too long, and that has to change.”

MK: “It doesn’t always work like that but I was pleased for them more than anybody.”

Ahead of the Portsmouth fixture at Fratton Park, Mark Kennedy was having no truck about feeling sorry for himself regarding the decimation…

Afternoon all, or just Jules it seems at the moment!!

Will be dipping in and out of todays match as I'm fixing a broken bed at the moment (really don't ask...grown up kids not me). Team sheet seen via the link suggesting a backs to the wall get something on the break selection.
Hope we don't waste Ted Bishop in a wide role and put him more centrally. Haks and Reeco to act as more of a 2??
 
I'm pleased Reeco has made it. I'm guessing him down the left, Bishop on the right and Adelakun through the middle.

Forward decimation aside, for all the injury problems we are pretty much at full strength in all other departments and can replace from the bench. Just need to work out how to score goals.
 
Normal defence and midfield with Jackson back being a positive, so that's a decent base to work from.

The front three is obviously a bit of a mish mash and probably won't click, even though Reeco and Bishop are decent players from an individual point of view.
 
Looks as good as it can
No Mandriou which was our best option for producing something positive going forward
Keep it tight and frustrate them into making mistakes
Good luck City
 
The line up is as good as expected at the moment and if we pass the ball to feet and avoid long aimless punts to the forwards we may get something from the game. Come on the Imps.
 
I am not quite sure why anyone thinks Adelakun and Hackett are somehow incapable of scoring. Hackett is actually joint top scorer and eight of today's starting eleven have scored this season. To remind everyone, Walker and House have not scored so far. I appreciate House gives us more than his own goals, but exactly how useless do some people think our players are?
 
Good morning/afternoon Imps. The coffees hot and here we are. Going to be a tough one today but still looking forward to the Mighty Imps taking it to Portsmouth. Come on City.
