Lincoln City Post Match Thoughts

[Pocket rocket]

Think some of our knuckle draggers, if he went unbeaten to the end of the season would still want him gone...

Also he's been getting a hammering from a lot of MM folk when we are loosing and playing poor.
now we are playing average but won go quiet and haven't bothered to post..
Gowd help them when we start playing well and winning. May have to alert the Samaritans

Poor from you that mate. It?s opinions and some the knuckle draggers you call them travel home and away mate. Just because you don?t agree with them doesn?t make you right pal.
Personally I can see both sides of opinions.

[caytonmiller]

I didn't give an opinion M8 so I can't be agreeing or disagree with their opinion.
I pointed out that it doesn't matter what Evans does between now and the end of the season some will always want him gone.
Is it your opinion that all the away fans are nice folk and some are not knuckle draggers?

One of the main issues I have with Evans and Raynor is the way we play and the apparent lack of a style of play and a system, the team don't look like they are coached well. It looks to me that Evans recruits what he thinks are the best players he can for the budget and then they throw them onto the pitch, with some basic instructions of "run a lot" and "get it forward quickly". Hence when a few aren't at there best you get poor results. The corner for the goal was the first time this season we looked like we had a coached, rehearsed set piece after 17 league games!!! I just don't believe that SE and PR are good enough for the modern game.
There are many other issues with him as a person and the way he conducts himself, there are also issues on squad selection. the subs bench on Tuesday was a joke, that has been masked by the win. Hugill instead of Osong is insane, the guy has repeatably under performed in the last two seasons, Evans says a fit Osong will be a hell of a striker for us, then doesn't pick him. Macdonald is a typical Evans player, tries but has very limited ability. Green not match fit and was never going onto that pitch. Evans doesn't give youth a real chance, they get a few minutes here and there and if they don't do amazing that is it. That is awful management and terrible leadership. Holmes, Bramall and Osong should have been on the bench, we also had Hatton and McGuckin as options.
I think with the recent article talking about only a few changes in January and players having to leave to accommodate that, we are unlikely to see a great deal of improvement, and we might still have an incomplete squad come February. The priority has to be getting Hugill out of the club, this is not helped by Evans picking him. this will free up a large part of our budget. A conversation with him that makes it clear he will not be named in the squad after the window, then gives him a choice, move on and play football or sit and take money and waste what is left of his career. perhaps reading the Kieran richardson interview might help him think about that.

Caytonmiller, I honestly detest the man and how he goes about things.

If we're living in the present then I am happy with the win as every Miller should be. I have wanted him gone since the day he arrived. I will continuausly support The Millers, the players and the supporters in their view.
If we finish in the play-offs (and secretly I think we will) then my view on Evans will not change. I will congratulate him if we do and i will salute him if we go up but I will never like him.

Fair does M8.
Hypothetically. if Evans gets us promoted then next season gets us 10 points clear by Christmas at the top of the championship you would still be happy if he left/got sacked? Or for the love of the club would you want him to stay?

Advertiser today Raynor saying tactical why Cam & Cohen weren't even on the bench Tuesday. Don't get it. Raggett Jules together at the back are two lumps no pace one ok yes but not two. Cohen if we were going to switch to wing backs he's better there than James. Like Derby says with this management team no point having a youth system we don't give them a chance. Hatton showed glimpses at Barnsley there's something to work on. McGuckin needs a run in the side we aren't exactly looking threatening up front. Said before can't see point of having Hungbo & Mcdonald on the bench before those two.

Pretty clear - they are both tactically SACKED

Did anyone one notice in the second half, when we had a corner in the NW corner, Hugill was warming up in that area. The corner was delayed and Hugill stood a couple of yards away from Powell with his back to him. He didn't engage with him at all for a couple of minutes. In normal circumstances, the subs would chat with the corner taker, giving them encouragement or ideas but on this occasion there appeared to be a total barrier between the two and I wondered if it was a sign of some discontent in the camp?

I went to the 1st round League Cup game against Crewe back in August and he was warming up in that same spot for about 20 mins and spent the whole time chatting with one of the Crewe players. He didn't seem to engage with our other subs warming up at all but I just thought it was maybe he was catching up with an old mate. Maybe there was more to it?

Fans don't like him. Evans doesn't play him. Hugill not interested. May as well go in January though gowd knows how we move him on.
Maybe pay him up but that doesn't help Evans with less to spend

Buddy, do you know how we got rid of Eaves who was allegedly the second highest earner at the club?
