Just feels like we just don't want it, very poor tonight, no doubt there will be loads moaning at Warne but didn't see anything like enough desire or quality on the pitch to tell me this bunch are good enough for play offs let alone top 2, how can it change so much?? Desperate for Nyambe to be back, Wilson a shadow of a player when playing fullback, Cashin has put his 3 worst performances in since Forsyth has been out and OMG how bad were Bird and especially Hourihane tonight!
God, it's so disappointing,  I was really expecting a reaction to Saturday's lacklustre performance especially with the opportunity to go top.... but that was worse

I see they have received a 3 point suspended deduction,  activated if they have another game abandoned as a result of a pitch invasion....
Looks like they have decided to boycott the game instead!  😄

Oooh look, it's Eiran "Horror Show" Cashin, in the team of the week...
 

Isn't TJJ the option, more athletic, better touch? Just not 100% fit yet, and when Waghorn and Washington are fit, aren't they different?
And if Collins got injured we would need a replacement, or rotate to keep them both fresh, although I believe Smith is more of a brute and better in the air to be able to Bully the defenders anyway.

I've just had a bizarre personal message interchange here following me pulling him up on his Twitter post about the club owing MM in excess of £200m, which is demonstrably incorrect.
His defence was that he was just repeating what some journalists had told him and he was skepitcal about the figure.
I've pointed out that there is information available in the public domain which poo poos his claim and how amazed I am that a 'football finance expert' is making claims which he must know to be untrue if he actually has any understanding of the situation.

Draws are not great in this league, but an away draw at a solid team is not an issue if it's sandwiched between victories. Let's finish off January with a couple of wins and we'll be in a great position.

We have won 10 of 13 league games, and lost 1....and that was against a very good team who scored in the last minute.
Hardly surprising some fans get irritated by constant negative comments. 
Financially we are on a sound footing, we are trying to make additions and we have a decent bunch of lads working their backsides off.
Yet at the first sign anything may be amiss the toys go out the pram.
We have a decent stadium and a fair amount of fans. But we are a League 1 club,  recruiting on a budget for League 1 players, playing against teams all just as desperate to get out this League. We have no divine right to walk over teams so how about a bit of realism at times instead of constantly looking for things to moan about and maybe there would be a bit more harmony.

0 clearcut chances? 
Nelson header where he should have scored.
Bird should have hit the target from Barks Cross.
NML when he burst through and just couldn't quite finish.
How were they any less than theirs from Taylor?

I expect Lincoln fans will be saying lucky to have caught Derby on an off day, on another those 1st half chances would have put them 2 up,  the amount of corners they couldn't get in the mix was criminal and those 3 long range efforts could easily have crept inside the post.... and I've never seen anyone get the better of Cashin like Taylor managed whoch keot us with a hit of hope, not many teams will have that opportunity again.
 
It was an off day individually and collectively but still got a point from a decent upper mid table team that embarrassed us at their grd last year

Was it really as bad as you’re making out?
If the players did not turn up as you suggested then we’d have lost, we drew away from home, it’s not the end of the world.
We had more possession (66% versus their 34%), passed more and with greater accuracy (520 at 78% versus their 278 at 64%), more shots (19 shots versus their 10)….and maybe this is where they get some credit as they had 4 on target when we only had 3, they had and missed 2 big chances when we allegedly had none (I’d argue Nelson’s header at their keeper was a big chance)….but then we also had 7 blocked shots.
From watching the game and reviewing those stats I’m very much of the opinion we did turn up, but a combination of not reaching our better levels, them defending resolutely, and a little bit of luck in how was wasteful they were means accepting an underwhelming 0-0 draw and we move on.

Still go above Portsmouth if we win the game in hand and 1 more point than Bolton got today, so it's not all negative.

If they’re all involved in the same goal the ball will be in the back of the net before the commentator can get their names out!

Twelve men,
We've only got twelve men,
We've only got twelve men,

If 442 I'd rather NML be central/ free to roam  as he doesn't need to worry about defending then, the 2 wide in a 443 have to help the FB out, and I'd put NML ahead of TJJ at the minute, so if we get CBT  that leaves Wilson, Barks, pos Sibley and CBT for the wide positions. 
TJJ has shown some touches when he came on as a sub a few weeks ago, but not really done a great deal with his 2 starts,  so I don't expect him to be starting many at the minute, but only just over half way thru season so plenty of time to make an impact

Have you tried watching the match.
