Absolute shit and non league football is much better than this.
Terell Thomas has lumped it to their players every time he gets the ball. Dobbo lays on their goal and strolls around like he thinks he is Beckenbauer. I cannot think of one positive thing to come out of that half. No one player is up to the standard required and NJ cannot turn this around in my view,
There is no urgency, no drive - nothing. Alfie has even resorted to taking thrown-ins.
100% this team is going down and there is very little i can see that will change our play.
Odd half that, no real chances for either team until the goal. Desperately lacking some creativity in midfield and our WB’s aren’t in the game at all. Camara soon please
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.
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
I agree, new manager and found some form. By the time we play them away on 5th March they will likely be above us. Be a real six pointer.
You have to have people breaking from the midfield, as well as Anderson has played if it doesn't start to work then I would bring Camara on for him and Chuks or Lapado for Kanu.
In total control because Lincoln let us be knowing we weren’t going to do anything. No willingness to force anything. Ramsay scared them at first but he doesn’t seem to want to take anyone on. REG must have had 90% of all the possession but there’s nowhere for it to go. Bakinson manages to be the biggest player on the pitch and completely missing. Karoy’s high press isn’t working and we’ve barely got May on the ball at all. Lincoln actually failed to capitalise on our two cock ups and then slammed one in from nowhere. When we’ve had chances they’ve been dribblers into the keeper. Hopefully Camara can stamp some authority on the middle because Lincoln aren’t good, just nasty
Struggling to think of any positives from that first half. Got lucky that Lincoln have not been clinical. 5 changes and zero improvement which is a concern.
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.
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.
I mean George hasn't really pulled up trees in possession today. Coventry was brought in to help build.from the back, but you're right when there isn't anyone creative in front of you or out wide then...what can you do?
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'
We had about four defensive silly boys moments out there. If Lincoln were any good they'd have been out of sight already. Also why is our passing so bad? So many underhit and overhit balls. Do we use different boots and balls in training to on match days. It's like a bloody lottery when any of ours kick a ball. Is it going to zoom into the distance at uncontrollable speed or is it going to slowly roll into the space in front of intended recipient? Bloody rubbish.

Exactly, they've won a couple recently which is more than us! So have fleetwood come to that. At this rate I can honestly see us challenging Carlisle for the wooden spoon.
Still, 3 easy games coming up ....... 14 cup finals here we come.

Don’t think a creative midfielder is going to help us out of possession, or defending crosses into our box.
Not saying much but I think Bakinson has been our best midfielder in recent games, at least he gets himself up and down the pitch.

This club is like King Midas in reverse
Not his fault we conceded or that our midfield has no creativity.
Play him for that time and he'll be injured again.

Before we used to fartarse around at the back and then pass it short to someone to lose the ball.
Maybe next game we can bypass the fartarsery and just pump aimless diagonals all game and see if that changes anything
