Glad Cranston is alright after his knock and in midfield!

[Andy D]

1-0

And so it begins.

[Keith]

Really well worked goal. Nice interplay down the left, perfect cross and an easy side footed finish.

[Freez]

2 gone, playing into a high wind, but even since the goal. Cranston just over just now!!

[Keith]

Old just missed a sitter! Didn't react quickly enough after keeper fumbled!

Not doing too bad since going behind.

[Andy D]

Lincoln using the width, sounds like the same old story.

4-2-3-1 and their doubling up in our fullbacks again!

[Keith]

Let off for us now, great cross from the right, fortunately it missed everyone.

Phew! Superb double save by Halstead, one on one, then saved again for the rebound. We almost lost out because Lavelle stood with his hands on his head after being beaten, so there wasn't anyone to help Halstead when he made the first save.

[Keith]

For F*** sake, complete dive, ref bought it. Penalty to Lincoln. Cheating gits.

Quinny saying McCartan dived, looked on first glance as a pen to us. 2-0 Akinde

[Keith]

2-0

I watched it back and I don't think it was a penalty.

[Freez]

Just watched it again, it's soft but it's a pen, Kenyon bundles into the back of him!

Some games you just have to take the loss and move on. This is one of them games. More important to prepare and beat Cambridge.

[Freez]

Shackle free kick, straight in 3-0, good drive, but it flatters em.

[Andy D]

Can see this ending up 5 or 6-0 this

[Keith]

Superb freekick. If the weather wasn't so crap, I'd go Christmas shopping for the rest of the afternoon

Does it?? We've wasted any opportunities we've had. Said before the free kick what use is the wall 3 yards to the right - he was left footed!

A thumping today isn't the right preparation for that to happen, second half turnaround?

[Keith]

Not for me. Kenyon touches him at shoulder height, so he lifts his foot up and doesn't take a step, in order to fall over. No way was the contact enough to foul him. To me that's a dive and a yellow card.

[Keith]

...second half turnaround?

If we have three shots on target we'll do well, let alone score three. Heads & discipline dropped since their second. Stupid (frustration?) to give away the free kick for their second. Jim needs to lift them up, but damage limitation now.

[Freez]

He made the contact enough, unfortunately.

[Keith]

He made the contact enough, unfortunately.

Then we need to practice diving too.

[Andy D]

Yes, Mark Duffy was good at it.

[Freez]

Agreed, Mandy did the same against Exeter and got a yellow!
