Really grim, just not sure we have the personnel to turn this around. Need to push Chuks and Camara on I think, desperate times. Alfie isolated and long high balls killing him. Not many here either.
this club reminds of the description given for life flashing before your eyes in a life and death situation and its actually your brain trying to remember a previous experience to save you.
Can people stop saying “That’s it, we’re done” every single game please? Be as pessimistic or optimistic as you like, but seeing 20 people post this every game is meaningless and it’s getting really boring.
So what do you want us to post?
Nothing?
close the thread!
As Romford says... Saying the same old shit about us being done and going down has nothing to do with the Match does it
You'll be surprised to know there is a separate relegation thread
No midfield playmaker, no transition from front to back - just Hail Mary long balls. It's painful to watch but afraid can't see any changes making it better. They're all a load of shite.
This has to be one of the lowest points I've ever seen, same points as vale who have three games in hand, cheltenham 2 in hand and 2 points, and we're now 4 points from the nearest team above us. If we stay up it'll be a miracle and only because Cheltenham and Vale capitulate.
Actually thought the team looks better balanced. BUT.......
Still no attacking flair. Or even attacking intent. Bakinson had a couple of half chances but apart from that......nothing.
I don't care how much stick I get but you cant beat 442. Or even 451. But fgs get some attacking players who will run at defenders with the ball. And midfielders who can thread a pass.

No excuses RE: no Playmaker
We're too narrow minded - Its all about, where will the Goals come from without May... Where will the goals come from without CBT.
Brownie and Curbs spoke before the game; Lincoln don't have anyone who stands out with goals or assists, but they all chip in.
They're not a team of Playmakers or Lethal Strikers are they?
This is why I find it funny against Reading everyone was like ‘this game is crying out for Dobson’ - like somehow we have not been crap all season when he has played - and lo and behold he is back in - and we look exactly like we have all season anyway.
We are just so poor everywhere, it wouldn’t matter if Dobson was prime Yaya Toure.
They are so much better than us out of possession.
We’re not supporting our wing backs so losing any attacking threat in 3-5-2. We need to figure out a way of creating an overload, whether that’s overlapping CBs or Anderson supporting.
Jones surely hasnt looked at this squad and said 'Yep lads, we need to just keep pinging aimless balls up top, I know it's not worked for months now but confident this will be the game it comes off'
Possible a controversial opinion but if I were Jones I'd be spending most of my time on the training ground working on possession. We've just devolved to how we played under Holden. Aimless long balls hoping May can make something happen. That's not his game, and it's dealt with easily by the defence.
But if you're playing against us you can just defend from the halfway line to about five yards outside your own box and you'll never worry. We're not playing through anyone. I do think we miss Coventry in that regard, but Anderson is still so raw and if Bakinson had a better end product he wouldn't be playing here. But his end product just isn't great, and he's not great with the ball in tight spaces.
It's grim. Camara and Chuks are game changers and do fix some of our problems. But we need some confidence, and a goal, and I don't know where either come from right now.

Bad and sad times.
After a shocking start, Cheltenham's form since is on par with mid-table. I'd probably fear them more than Port vale

If only we'd have just kept Dobson (like we have done) and bought a creative midfielder instead of Coventry or Bakinson.
Now we're sat with 3 central midfielders without a creative bone in their body.

Nope, nope, nope, nope….

Scott has somehow managed to build a team that has no threat and can't defend. Some accomplishment that.
