Match Thread: Scunthorpe United v Lincoln City

[Ruskingtony]

Don't know if he had any saves to make but at least Griffiths has started with a clean sheet That's got to be an encouraging sign

Seems like things are starting to come together nicely In time for the big
kick off. Some favourable comments on Irn-Bru too.

Bramhall showed lightning pace last season, and was often the only person able to break open the opposition. When he gets going down the left wing he's a class above this level. I would like to see him given more opportunity further forward this season. Also his left back/defending skills are not up to it at this level, from what we've seen so far.

Five comments on their forum, as opposed to five pages on ours. I had a bit of a nosy around there, and there's this article called 'Tumbleweed'. Just makes you thankful for what we have, here online, and as a club as a whole. It could so easily have been us.

Scunny has been dying on it's arse since Swann tookover, lucky escape.

Shona and I went to friendly in 2018 and she couldn't believe they were division above us at the time.

They are due a spell in the NL. It's happened to most of the other East Mids/Lincs clubs.

A long spell...

Interesting that their fans said we looked good on their pitch (which looked poor) ….. can’t wait to see us knock it around on our new Crown Green bowls carpet.

A shot or a cross? Looks like he shapes to shoot in my view, but it could be argued either way.

I'd say it's a shot based on his body angle as he strikes it. Really good technique

 

[simes69]

Shot.

 

[Pompeyimp2]

Shot.

I thought it was quite good?

 

[Norfolk Imp]

Definitely a shot, he used the same technique last season in his goal against MKD (I think?)

I have to say, he strikes the ball very Ronaldo-esque i.e. through his laces, rather than his instep.

 

[Pompeyimp2]

He didn't looked very pleased with himself after? I think I'd have been quite chuffed with that

 

[nlondonimp]

Cross-shot
Aim to put the shot into an area where one of the attackers could also glance it in.* Or aim to put the cross into an area where - if no one heads it - it goes in anyway.

*can only practice this 10 times a week.

Instep.

I'm pleased for Cohen, but the unanswerable question is,

Cross or shot?

Does it matter?

 

[PerthImp]

I’d be surprised if that was a cross. His whole body angle and strike suggests he knew exactly what he was doing. Maybe he’s been practicing FKs & corners

 

[sedgleyimp]

There's a vacancy for a dead ball specialist in the first XI. He could get a regular starting spot based largely on this

If the suggestion is he’s playing wide left then maybe he’s recognised Grant’s departure has left an opening and is adding to his repertoire. Having said that there’s probably two or three dead ball specialists in the side this year
