Lincoln post match reflections

[Shark27]

For James and Rafferty to be converted to centre backs to help Douglas is exceptional. Both aren’t the tallest but they are there with him. Douglas was really solid too. Even when he missed the ball he was composed enough to get back in position and eventually clear from danger.

Gore, Martha were awesome. Powell was definitely up for it today (as they all were).

Hugill was on the treatment table at midday trying to get ready for today. There is no doubt that in the few recent years of having players who are quite injury prone, Jordan is the one who is always willing to put himself forward to play. I would assume MH would love to have him in his squad.

There was more anticipation of where the ball was going which is what I’ve wanted to see for a while.

Crowd actually made quite a bit of noise. It’s amazing what a decent performance does.

Are you ok?

You keep repeating that this forum is an echo chamber which is hilariously ironic.

What the feck does woke even mean?

You called me a lefty a few weeks ago despite me never having voted for anyone on the left in my life because I mentioned Israel wasn?t in Europe.
It still isn?t.

Just smile sweetheart. It?s Saturday, have a beer and a lollipop,
Get a fish tank. I hear they are very relaxing.

I?m off for a gender neutral bowl of tofu and listen to some Billy Bragg.

I genuinely am ok thanks for asking honey.
Don?t debase yourself like this it?s not cool or hip.

Best game of the season so far for me for application and deliverance throughout the team today.

Lincoln started strong but as we gradually got into our stride, there was only going to be one outcome and that's not speaking from hindsight. The first 7-8 minutes was mostly from Lincoln but and it's a big but, I expected them to go on to score during that period and they didn't.

To a man, albeit I wasn't impressed with Martha playing too deep first half, everyone was on top of their game and delivered in spades.

James scored a peach of a drive and as part of his effort today deservedly got the MOTM. Personally I'd have given it to McWilliams, a trojan in the centre of the field.

Martha scored an excellent what looked like a well practiced and well worked goal. Who's idea was that? The icing on the cake was Hall slotting home the third to kill the game off, a perfect end to a perfect performance.

Everyone gets an immense clap of the hands today but I just want to single out Jordan Hugill. Rarely lost a header, applied himself without fuss and of the last three games he has been the Jordan of old. Where have you been man?

The NYS bouncing, great noise from 'The library' , Matt giving it the orchestral move with his arms telling us to shout/sing loud and proud.....a perfect end to a perfect footballing day.

Good to see MH giving Collins and Bradley a hug at the end both players who were at Derby when he was there. Nice to see 3 quality goals and not what I would call scruffy goals. Martha contender for goal of the season the way he controlled it and shot?

James is my player of the season so far. He is never less than 7/10.
He has been great going forward and in defence.

Heading crosses away like a seasoned centre half today.

[caytonmiller]

Great performance.
Shout out to Rafferty who imo always gives110%. He covered well today even when Douglas got caught out. He brings a lot to our defence

[CAMiller]

That was an excellent performance, some great individual performances as well. Young Douglas has earned that shirt against some of the tallest players in the league. James and rafferty outstanding as were Powell, gore and McWilliams. Martha was a lot better and his arguments with their no24 were amusing. Nombe chased everything and a big praise to Dawson for coming off his line and that great save at 2-0 and of course Hugill, a good performance by him. Only player I thought was below par was Hall but he scored a good goal. That is the Rotherham we want to see and there will be a few on the injury list wondering if they can get a shirt. Why was agbaire taken off the subs bench?

I said to my grandson on Tuesday that it looked like he got injured in his 30s cameo appearance for that last minute corner. If true that's on MH for a silly substitution.

Haven’t you just proven his point though reacting because you don’t like what he said. Read the posts and there are quite a few digs about ones who have criticised the manager.I think it’s Pocket what keeps on banging about it being an echo chamber he has a point to a degree although not necessarily 100%. Onto the game excellent result and performance I agree with you about James he’s been consistent most of the season.
I agree that Hamshaw is finally finding a system but only a week ago we were dog poo so not sure what difference a week makes.
I enjoyed today’s game long may it continue.

No criticism of the manager allowed Cam 😃😃 sorry couldn?t resist.

Yes.

That was the point 🙈

I think the point is that some fans don't react on a week-by-week basis, but take a longer-term view and are able to put below par performances into a broader context.

Some fans seem to take results personally, as if the players and management have singled them out for insult.

The season is getting better, with today being, by common consent, the pinnacle so far. Will it continue? Who knows? A couple of losses and those who view Hamshaw as too 'nice' or 'soft', or inexperienced, will be happily sharpening the knives in anticipation of a Revell /Hurst/Frecklington/Lamy takeover.

James playing with broken ribs at the moment too.

James playing with broken ribs at the moment too.

True commitment from him and the rest. Great result today and, crucially, good level of performance Two tough away games so important to keep things in perspective. Tight league this with no one truly cut adrift at the bottom and seems no one fixture in this league is a given, one way or another. Great to see one of our younger players earning a first team place. Possibly others to break through before too long

[Scum-Triumphant]

Who signed James? Was it Evans?

On the manager criticism/ love in.

This forum is tame compared to twitter. There are certain groups of supporters that thrive off us losing, and another that use wins to mock the former.
It?s playing the person instead of the supporting the team.

In other news.
Dan Gore is out of contract at the end of the season. Be a lovely show of intent if we could get him on a contract.
