⚽ Match Thread vs. Lincoln City 08.08.23 [EFLC R1]

They have, i put a thread on here about a month ago saying lots of staff had been made redundant at Football Radar. For me it was worrying as typically that happens when the finances are drying up. Extending Langstaff' contract was the least of our worries. We need at least 3 defenders otherwise we will be back in the NL next season. 70% possession yet Lincoln had 20 shots, shambolic defending yet again.

Style over substance springs to mind, we are in for a long hard season.

Fk sake some proper drama'ing on here. Gerra grip, not had 11 players on the pitch for a full game yet, 2 games in and we are doomed, radar finished, owners out of money, last year was a disaster really, told you so, told you so etc. Mid table transition was always OK, way too much hype after a (still) stunning season last year. We will lose some games this year and the awesome manager, owners and core team will settle down and adapt. Blimey.

It shows what the value of pace is. Cheetahs against wildebeests. No matter how skilful the wildebeests they don't stand a chance against cheetahs.

20 shots against us, eh? That's about five times more than any team had against us in in any one game last season. Well we coped in those games but we ain't playing those teams again are we? Well not this year anyway, next year?

I think this sums up the issue, as far as I can see it - we haven't adapted our style to take into account the fact we're playing half-decent sides every week. What worked against Maidenhead won't work against Mansfield. Our lack of bite, physicality, and defensive solidity worries me.
