Lincoln v Derby (A) Matchday Thread

[Van der MoodHoover]

We're starting to have a bad run defensively. We managed to get results in the early games on the strength of the defence. 

5 goals conceded in 2 games. 

[Ted McMinn Football Genius]

This simply isn’t good enough, management is ineffective! 
I’ve seen enough this season now to call this one. A real Manager is required ASAP, Liam isn’t up to it

[Dinnitdough]

In a different timeline we are up 0-2, imagine being those b*******…

LR it’s time to go

[Shake n Bake]

This season feels a bit like the 2002-2003 already. Hope it picks up a bit. We definitely need at least one of the CMs to be more mobile, Bird and Hourihan doesn't seem to work very well, especially away from home. 

 

Who knows, maybe we'll do a Plymouth ?

[Yani P]

Barks is way off the pace..

Osula on for Bird

[Ilsonram12]

This is awful to watch

[Warwick Ram]

To be honest after the Plymouth I was shocked. To be two up at home and lose was just appalling. This as the follow up game is even more appalling.

Some will say it is too early to sack him but are we improving? Are we showing any progress? Have we scored in an away game yet?

As bad as we've played, zero luck today 

 

[dcfcreece1601]

Get Liam out for crying out loud,  nice man but absolutely shocking manager , a decent league 1 manager would have these firing 90% of our team are established in the league above ffs, had enough of watching us it's getting my down every week 

[Van der MoodHoover]

Now this IS interesting by Liam. Osula on for bird. 

2 up top? 

[Guest]

Soon as Smith and Chester slot in, we might be better. Don’t see the hype with Cashin, Hourihane is flattering to deceive, Bird and Sibley are missing in action, manager has got the best midfielder at right back etc etc etc 

[cosmic]

A lot of criticism about the style of play, but every player has been garbage tonight. Not a lot Liam can do about that. 

[Bald Eagle's Barmy Army]

We have players to get out of this league first time. 
 

Im not sure we have the right leadership

The issue now is we play Oduroh and risk mistakes or we try to convert someone into a right back. Either way it is a risk.

The current player we are trying to shoe horn into the right back position gave a penalty away today, so it can't be much worse to play a recognised right back there even if they are inexperienced.

Knight needs to be in midfield. Play literally anybody else at right back

[Caerphilly Ram]

Bird off for Osula so we now have one central midfielder?

[Yani P]

We could still win this..

It isn’t about luck. It is about quality. We have plenty of it. Any decent manager could have us romping this league. In theory should have a list a hand this season? I think not.

[ANGERMAN1]

Well, at least this is happening prior to Liam putting fresh ink on a contract.

As others say, he seems a nice bloke but his ethos doesn't work with the players we have. He takes pride in playing football that we all know doesn't work and I'm sure he remarked about our attackers needing to be "more patient" in an interview a while back. He's simply not good enough and perhaps the players are growing frustrated as they can see this too.

A new manager is required soon or else this will be another disappointing season. Don't get me wrong, I'm stoked we have a team to support but it's torture at times watching us play.
