I knew he has started quite well but surprised to see he is top goalscorer in the league so far!

Clarke-Harris and Ellis Harrison both in top 5 too, imagine having all 3 at the club at the same time

The one and only positive of today. Thought he had a very good game as he has had majority at home so far. Keeps this up and more will be in the championship before long.

If we are still struggling in January it maybe hard to hold onto him. I know Loft was guilty of missing a few chances yesterday, but he also scored (I think that's three in three for him now?) The two of them are starting to form a decent partnership which is going to be needed if our non existent defense keep conceding so many.

Loft had tons of chances on a plate and missed all but one of them.
That was the difference. Both boxes. Other than that we dominated

Thought he was a bit unlucky with the chances missed in the first half. One a bit of good defending and the other seemed like he was trying to cross to someone more central and got stuck between shooting and passing. Didn't get a clear view of 2nd half misses but the goal looked well taken. Yes we could have scored more but when you score 3 and still lose you know the issue is elsewhere. Collins hit the post a few weeks ago when it looked easier to score, it happens. If the 2 keep up their partnership we'll score a few as well as miss some guilt edged chances but should be enough for a regular 3 points. Get the defence sorted and we'll be just fine.

Loft is getting in the groove. I think there’s still more of him to see though.

I think Collins best position is spearheading the attack as the no 9 where he has forced to play last season

One thing he does need to work on (apart from going down easily) is sometimes he tries to do too much in terms of taking players on, and inevitably loses possession in the middle which allows the opposition to counter attack. I believe that led to Morecambe scoring their 2nd and almost led to a Lincoln goal yesterday. Only a minor thing though as players will always want to improve.
It's players that give the ball away and do little else that need a boot up the arse, of which they are many.

AC has been fantastic so far this season ... New contract has done wonders for him.
I think he and Lofty could be very decent up front and if / when Coburn starts that could be very tasty.
Hopefully we keep him come January.

If only my aunty had blcks. Tom Nichols was “always unlucky” In this business you have to take chances. There are no awards for effort. I’m not saying give up on the guy, I’m saying several of his chances should have been taken and if so, we might have won the game. More possession, more chances but less goals. A massive however is that the difference was our defence. We scored 3 and Loft got one. That was the difference but I’m just saying loft should have scored at least 2 more.

Obvs , but sometimes you have to stick with a striker for a bit . Collins couldn’t score for toffee to start with but he came good. Loft is getting into goal scoring positions which is a great sign, he’s not yet clinical but given a bit of time and his growing confidence he may come good. His mobility is definitely a plus .

The most by improved, adaptive to higher division, showing more potential and first name on teamsheet for me.
A joy to watch.

If Loft was putting all his chances away in his career so far he simply wouldnt be here. Same for Collins and all the players here. The only difference between this level and elite level is consistency of the end product.

Couldn't agree more, some people obviously watch too much Premier League stuff then expect to see the same down the Mem. 4 in 4 and still getting slagged off, incredible. Fact is if our defence wasn't so pathetic yesterday Loft and Collins would've won us the game

The only difference between this level and elite level is consistency of the end product. Lincoln put pretty much every chance away, especially diamond. Loft has a tap in directly at the keeper from about 2 yards, was round the keeper and blasted it at a defender, and had another solid chance over the bar from about 10 yards. The cross/shot was more of a half chance. As I’ve said, he’s a good prospect but not finished, yet.

Fact is if our defence wasn't so pathetic yesterday Loft and Collins would've won us the game I’ve not watched a premiership game in years. “Some people” = me, so just say it rather than being snide. Agree the defence lost us the game, which I clearly said in my post, you’ve chosen to ignore that.
