The Adams one was far worse than the Edozie one. What the fuck was he doing. Twice he had a clear shot at goal with the keeper out the way and he kept going. 

That must be a contender for the worst winning performance of all time.

He was trying to help build Edozie's confidence. "Anyone can do it"

So genuine question - anyone out there seen enough tonight to think we can beat a premier league side anytime soon?

Not confident, no. It seems like we’re back to exactly where we were at the start of the season. We may grind out a dirty win or two against the lesser lights but we’ll get torn to pieces by anyone half decent.

We badly need to sign a good striker, and we cannot be playing that back 5 with those passes across the back and long ball bollocks... it offers no serious penetration at premier league level. Teams will just set up and wait for us to give the ball away... and one loose pass across the back/middle with those 3 CB's and we'll have a far better attack that ours through onto Bazunu. Stuff of nightmares - and we can all see it happening I reckon. Work to do!

Saints fans are embarrassing. Silent yet again. 

One bloke got chucked out the Northam after we scored, not sure if it was him who let the flare off or not.

Celebrating a goal against a League 1 team in a half empty stadium with a flare is a new high for fan culture.

I’m fearful we’ve wasted a month. In the summer we had a pre season of mostly playing 3CBs, it obviously wasn’t working but we carried it through to the regular season before ditching it almost immediately. I just hope we haven’t spent the past month preparing to play 3 at the back again, only to realise it’s a terrible solution for this bunch and they can’t play it.

I’ve seen literally nothing from Jones tonight to suggest that he’s brought in some bright, new ideas. It’s exactly as we were on the opening day of the season. Can only hope he’s seen enough to fuck off the 3 at the back and get on with working out how to sort out our misfiring central midfield, and have more scoring options than Che Adams.

On the upside, I couldn’t be bothered to go, so here I am, sitting comfortably in my reclining chair, contemplating a drink of something alcoholic before retiring to bed. Thereby avoiding a half hour walk to the car and a traffic jam on Millbrook road. You see, there is always a positive that can be taken.

I spent the first 20 minutes asking myself who was the L1 side.

We looked like a side that hadn't played for 6 weeks, and all credit to Lincoln who must feel cheated that there was no VAR.

Edozie looked great until he missed that sitter, but Adams must be kicking himself to miss a hat-trick. 

Nathan Jones has a lot of work to do  -even before the window opens.

That was pretty shit.

That final chance for Adams summed him up, that is why he will never be a consistent goal scorer no matter how much we wish him to be. We need better to partner him if we want to score goals.

Still, at least we won. But we looked terrible to be honest.

Having read through the bbc thread and on here, seems like a very worrying performance. Concede to Brighton early and the game will be over by half time. Do not see us staying up unless a miracle happens. Difficult to see where the next league win will come from. I said 2 - 1 to a mate, but was really hoping for a lot better against a league 1 side.
