Re: Match Day Thread: Lincoln
The goals dried up when Kone was injured and McCleary tired, we've bought attackers in to freshen things up , unfortunately nobody asked the new coach if he fancied any of them before they signed him up.

When I produce actual stats and all you do is down-thumb the post, you are admitting you have no counter.

Re: Match Day Thread: Lincoln
I'm not saying we weren't that good under him. Though at times we weren't. Then at times we were, and for a period this season we were great. Then we started to struggle, in comparison. Which isn't a surprise.
My view is, we would likely be similar position. Maybe style of football would be different, maybe even more exciting. But I'm not sure we would get back to those heady days of 8 in a row. Teams hit form, and that was when we hit ours. Like Charlton know in form.

Re: Match Day Thread: Lincoln
dreadful. He maybe a good coach but from what I’ve seen he is not a Head Coach/Manager.
After the final 20 against Rotherham, to then go back to this turgid display, after 10 days off is simply absurd.
Get some pace on, closer to Kone and let’s actually try and attack.
would also be great if Dodds can ask Norris to speed play up a bit when we’re not winning.

Re: Match Day Thread: Lincoln
This is the problem.
It may eventually yield results. But the football is terrible entertainment.
Re: Match Day Thread: Lincoln
Even if you want to curate Blooms' tenure to make it sounds like we were not that good under him, we scored 14 in 9 after the winning run ended - 1.55 goals per game.
Even with the absurd late show last week, we have scored 9 in 8 under Dodds, 1.12 goals per game.
Do you think we would have dropped to 1.12 GPG under Blooms, when the "bad run" you are referring too was still MUCH better?
Not only that, but Blooms was always clear about being attack-minded, whereas Dodds is clear about being boring as hell control.

Re: Match Day Thread: Lincoln
Nicely in control with loads of attacking options to come on at 60 for a nice win.
What's the matter with you lot

Re: Match Day Thread: Lincoln
This is exactly how it was under Bloomfield initially. Relatively complex tactics for this level. An emphasis on building securely from the back, reducing risk and not losing the ball.
The result was a year of absolutely abject football and the only spell during which I can recall not wanting to go to games.
At this stage it looks like a case of hoping it clicks in the remaining games before the play offs. It's going really feel like a very flat end to the season if it doesn't.
Re: Match Day Thread: Lincoln
Tbf to him, it is true that we struggled before Blooms left. It still doesn't explain the absurdity of these tactics and performance though
Re: Match Day Thread: Lincoln
Shouted at Dodds to change the formation by the tunnel and got a blank stare back. Fuming with that approach. 45 mins wasted
