Kitgate.

And we kept Edozie.

Maitland Fucking Niles....You're having a laugh! 🙂

AA misses an open goal from 8 yards 🙂

Follows a pattern under SR. We seem to pursue players we have little or no realistic chance of signing. Not the first time its happened.

Not holding my breath.

We'd already signed Larin - no way were we going to sign Lankshear and keep both happy.

Out of the frying pan into the burning red hot furnace springs to mind.

Just watched back the highlights and that really was an absolute mess of a performance. The tone was set from their kick-off when they hoisted the, ball rugby style, up to the edge of our box and we reacted like rabbits caught in the headlights. Apart from a spell of perhaps 20 minutes we showed zero composure on the ball and contributed to our own downfall by allowing Lincoln to dictate what sort of a game it would be. Tonda then put an end to that 20 minute spell by taking off our best players and basically invited Lincoln to 'show us what you've got'. Inevitably they obliged by bringing on the 6'8 lump who, against 3 centre backs, was given a free header and we lost two valuable points and gifted one to them (although in fairness that was the least they deserved). If we are unable to pass and move to shift a limited side like Lincoln we are in serious trouble. Not for the first time we played too much horizontally and not enough vertically. We had no ball carrying runners in midfield brave or ready enough to take the fight to them meaning they could comfortably continue their aerial bombardment. Two big home games coming up and, despite our good record at St Marys, I'm not confident we'll win either.

The jury is out but I think they'll return with their verdict very soon.

He didn't. His weak shot was actually going wide but their defender decided to block it anyway.

Agree with this - there's not much to lose other than discovering he's worse than Stephens and Wood but at least we'll find out.

If true that's a huge issue that needs to be addressed quickly.

Just watched Flynn Downes interview and it's refreshingly honest as opposed to some of the bullshit we are fed. He can't contain the fact that he's seriously fuming and accuses the team of not stepping up in both this game and Brum when 1-0 up. We were way off it today against a very limited side. These games happen but to have so many players underperforming is not acceptable.

Think this will finish 0-0 followed by a loss at home to Brizzle City who usually seem to have our number.
