Great win and a good performance from us. Even with 10 we looked relatively comfortable. I'd be concerned about having any chance of going up if I was an MK fan. They never looked like scoring even when they beat us for pace and got in behind.
I've said in the past that I wasn't completely...
I don't think it's an obvious chance on goal, of course he likely gets a shot away if he's pulling the trigger there but he only has one real corner to aim at as the other side is covered by the remaining defender and Russell likely has the other side covered. He's still outside the box and it'd...
Yeah not convinced on that red card. There was another defender multiple yards ahead of them both. I can only imagine if was for the nature of the foul. If we're appealing McKeown's red against Lincoln then I'll be gobsmacked if we don't challenge that one.
Another red for dirty Grimsby. We've been the better side and deserve to be 1 up but we've potentially thrown away a result here. Agard turned Davis and he's dragged him to the deck, not convinced he was last man but it was a borderline rugby tackle. Could've been a yellow but not many complaining.
We won't truly know how plastic Lincoln's fanbase is until their run of success stops and they start going the other way. If they end up relegated back here in a few years time, we'll see how many fans stick around. I imagine they'll see a bit of a permanent increase to their attendances, but of...
I watched it online and I disagree with you entirely but that's the beauty of opinions. If you miss out on the playoffs by a point, be sure to think of us :thumbs:
Not buying that we were terrible. Like I said at the time, it's a two part game; attacking and defending. We defended very well, not just McKeown. Did we play terribly against Palace because they had 90% possession? Hardly.
Depends how the rest of this month goes. Once the window slammed shut last year, after we had lost all our remaining good players and completely failed to replace them, we knew we were fucked. We were stuck with a team win no quality, no confidence and even less desire. I can't begin to explain...
For what it's worth, having seen the freekick decision, we've had some interesting ones go against us this season but that is absolutely crazy. You'll never see a cleaner tackle all season.
Town fans demanding 352 be sacked off already. Same fans that never let Hurst try out a new formation for more than one game as well as the ones who wanted Jolley to sack off 433, despite us looking shite whenever we tried 442 and always ended up switching back 20 minutes into games. Clueless.
Might well be the worst goal we've conceded all season and that includes the dogshit backpasses. We're playing 3 centre halves and he STILL got a free header. Ah well at least we beat the veg when it mattered.
If it was Preston's decision to recall him then that's a fine bit of business for us. As said, he won't fit in a 352 and his best and arguably only asset is his crossing, which we very rarely make use out of with our lack of height. If we can put his wages into signing a striker then it's...
We're appealing the red card. Pretty ambitious to me. I still think he could've gotten away with a yellow but you can easily see why he's been sent off in this day and age. Likely looking at 4 games now.
Fair enough, the fact we've only had each other to play for the past decade or so definitely intensifies it. I enjoy a derby as much as the next fan but throughout my life of supporting Grimsby I've never had strong feelings towards Lincoln as a club, those were always reserved for Scunthorpe...
I wouldn't ever deny it's a fierce derby but it is a little lopsided, you've always cared a bit more about us than us you. Enjoy it while you can because things can change quickly in football. We ruined enough of your Christmas' so it's only fair you have a spell on top.
The state of the game itself is definitely a factor, if it was more open it would've been a lot louder, or if the red card(s) had come out sooner. It wasn't an exciting game which tends to bore the crowd, even during a derby.
We tend to go on streaks alternating between winning and losing, and...
I've only seen the incidents the once so would like to see them again, but like I said we didn't do enough throughout the game to warrant winning it so I can't sit here and feel hard done by. Lincoln were solid and deserved the win but we showed enough to leave me encouraged that we're still...
Let's not go around saying we could've had another sent off when we had two blatant elbows in the face and a very good penalty shout waved away. I'm not blaming the referee for our loss today as we didn't do enough but Lincoln were absolutely the beneficiaries of the officials today.
Missed the first and last 10 minutes but I thought it was an even game. No real quality in either box. A lot of bookings that shouldn't have been given that were, as well as a lot of bookings that weren't given when they should. Truly crap refereeing.
Missed Clifton today and we clearly need...
