Need to force the tempo more in the 2nd half. We've played some decent stuff, but it's not been a great half from us, we need to improve.
Lincoln very, very lucky not to be down to 10. The challenge on Grimmer looked horrific and absolutely no attempt to play the ball. Looked a clear elbow.
Freeman is calm on the ball and always tends to do something useful with it. In addition to the above he had a second shot and crossed for that Vokes header.
Sorry he is not dribbling round the entire Lincoln team though. Get him off!
Freeman is a luxury player we can't afford to have, good on the ball, but without it, he looks lost , doesn't pick up a man and always reacts after ithe man or ball is passed him
Freeman is actually having a better game than Wing who is not as effective in the position further forward that MB seems to have decided is a good idea - presumably to give him more opportunities to shoot. But we’re doing very little shooting!
Completely agree. And the moments on the ball aren’t good enough to make up for the 95% of the moments without it. A top half league 2 starter at best in my opinion.
It’s hilarious reading this thread with Duncan on co-comms. Gasroom: “Wing is shit under Blooms”. Head of data for Opta: “Wing has completed 96% of his passes”.

The name drone army didn't emerge by accident.
This is the worst ref I have seen this season.
Irony falls on stony ground on the Gasroom, I’m afraid @Glenactico.
Not really. We’ve been too long in League 1 and the Championship.
All we ask for is consistency with officials. Kicking the ball away is kicking the ball away. It’s pretty simple.

He's the one doing stuff Wing should be doing to get that big move...had a shot and put McLeary through. Unless I am watching a different game.
I wonder if we’ll see Plange in the second half. If we do, it might not be for very long!
Ruffian (number 24) is also pushing his luck.

You are from me

You just know we are going to retaliate and get a straight red after all this leniency.

Mind-boggling lack of consistency in this ref’s performance so far
I disagree he has been consistently useless & lenient
So funny
I'm desperate for Scowen to have a shot.
He left Opta months ago 😉
There you go Freeman off. Guess Blooms agreed with us @Wetherby_blue
Obviously so is Blooms
Bolton an Derby both winning. Mathematically over at this point.
Someone shoots high in the stands: EFL show a three minute replay in super slow motion.
Exciting chance with ball possibly going over the line: No replay.
He's been great since you both pointed this out 🤣
Set piece delivery has been really poor from us today
What this game needs now is a full speed Scowen “tackle”. Actually, with this ref might be a good idea to bring TJ on to kick the shit out of them.
Being good on the ball is a luxury we can't afford, or so I hear.
Thugs.
That’s it then
