We may do better against teams who want the ball rather than happiliy sit deep. So are Lincoln a team who have had lots of possession and passes in games ? They recently drew 0-0 with MK Dons who are usually a side who have lost of possession and passes during the game. MK had 71% possession, with 634 attempted passes and 530 completed passes, compared to Lincoln's 29% possession, 253 attempted passes and 161 completed passes. Even in their last game vs Accrington, who had a man sent off after 56 minutes, they only made 328 passes with 210 passes successful. So on the face of it, NOT a team that have lots of possession and passes in games.

If we are going to get anything today we need to get far more support to the front two than just lumping it and hoping, as I imagine that would suit Lincolns defenders

Glad Sinclairs dropped, he has done very little recently.

I would like to see a game where Coburn stays on his feet and shrugs the oppo player off before going on to score (rather than going to ground). He needs to do this as he gets ridden more than a Weston Donkey.

Would had started with Bogard and not Mac. Unfortunately, I fear the worse and feeling very pessimistic at this moment in time, but let’s hope for some fighting spirit, where has that never say die attitude gone the past few weeks 🙄

Glad we’re going to a back 3 again , we had such limited options in midfield to receive passes from the back four last week . Hopefully we create a few chances today and take a few! No doubt there will be a few scary moments at the back .

Hadn't realised it's been ten games without a clean sheet!!!! Would settle for that today.
