Romared Match Thoughts Lincoln City v Barnsley

[Young_Nudger]

1st Half.
We don’t look anything like a top 4 side.
Very poor again going forward.
Kane not contributing going forward and Philips invisible.
Service into the front 2 has been poor as it’s reliant on long balls from the back - the middle 2 responsible for providing that service are just awol.
I hope I’m wrong but I can see us losing this one.

We need to change things in midfield - IMO bringing Russell and Luke on ASAP.

2nd Half.
We moved up a couple of gears and looked better.
Far more energy 2nd half.
But built on a dismal 1st half was a difficult task.
Service into front 2 remained poor.
Duff just not brave enough in his starting lineup.
We look nothing like a promotion side.

About the right result. A game played at a fast pace and I thought they defended their box well so no complaints from me.

Well that's us done then , play offs it is .

Disappointed to be honest but give the top three credit they all won and we weren't quite good enough to match them .

Any two from three for automatic promotion now .

One of em is going to be disappointed and going to be taking that in to the play off campaign .

We've got our disappointment done early and can now start thinking about the task ahead .

Play off's it is then! Plymouth 96th minute winner ffs.
Didn't really deserve to win tonight, 1 shot on target the whole game!
Too many aimless balls to nobody, Kitching and Anderson just whacking the ball straight to their keeper or out of play!
I don't know why Duff took Norwood off, who was rightly peed off, he ran his socks off and was constantly giving them something to think about.
Bobby had an untypical poor game tonight as well.
Ah well we can't lose 4th place now unless posh hit about 15 goals in their last 3 games!
Onwards and upwards.

True.
As bitterly disappointed as we all are - we would have snatched their hand off for this position at the start of the season.

[POGGYWELL]

We’ve not showed enough quality in the final third tonight and couldn’t beat their dominance at the back. Former Red Jackson was outstanding. No complaints and Plymouth have just won two away days very late on so credit to them.
The Burton game cost us big style in this run in and not tonight.
So it’s the Play offs lottery but at least we know early enough to recover.

[Doggydo]

One thing about tonight’s game which got my goat was we had a few wayward tackle and ended up with yellow cards yet they didn’t even get a talking to for theirs?

[perkytyke]

There are still 12 points to play for, he says hopefully! But it is a funny old game this football lark.
I hope we keep going and take Oxford apart on Saturday, so confidence is high to upset Ipswich next Tuesday.
I will be torn against Ipswich though cos if we beat them it might hand the pigs automatic promotion!!!

[GRASS SOD]

We haven't played well for the last 6 games even when we won it looks totally negative for me in play offs unless all the players get their acts together

[perkytyke]

If we don’t go up it’s still better than what I expected this season!
Tell you what though, if that Lincoln side sign a half decent midfielder and striker next season to turn some of their 20 draws into wins they will push for promotion!
