Vale just came for a wrestling match it seems. Surprised from a Clarke side

That really was a bottom-of-the-table clash, but one with a few inspired moments (more in the first half than in the second). We did deserve the win, but more thanks to a few inspired individual performances than the team fitting together well, and it certainly didn't feel guaranteed until the final whistle blew. Will happily take the three points though.
No complaints from me, we were so bad. We never turn up against your lot

Absolutely threw away a point there, absolutely furious to lose that especially with such a defensive cock up. Shame as we don’t concede that with DJ on.

Got to be getting something in games like that if we want to progress.

Frustrating to lose that. Forrester needs to be doing better than getting muscled off the ball by Collins for their winner.

2 poor sides out there today. Vale came for a point clearly. We didn't offer much in the final third, but grateful for a brilliant Collins finish in what for him was a very quiet game.

0-0 the right result there, two middling sides, neither with the attacking quality to really cut through the other.

Apparently Lincoln are home draw specialists, and you can see why - very compact, solid and well organised defensive unit, but not that great offensively.

They did their homework on us though, and got the tactics right - they marked Mehmeti out of the game very well, so our lone real offensive threat was well nullified.

Referee has given the shove in the back every time today bar the goal but Forrester needs to be stronger there or don’t let it bounce. Sunday league defending when we’d looked fairly comfortable. Frustrating today as most chances against us were from our sloppy play rather than their quality.

Absolutely buzzing with that, huge win back in touch with the pack. It wasn’t pretty but we battled really well and deserved the win. Great to keep a clean sheet as well, especially with JMT out.

Deserved that I reckon, and come May could be a huge point.

Clarke was fuming at the ref after the final whistle. Shook hands with both linos but not the ref just shouted at him.
I have to say I was expecting more from one of his sides but they didnt look interested in playing football after 10 mins.

Not surprised the goal is a shove in the back in fairness.

We were miles off it today but once Wilson and Harrison went off it was going to be tough.

Both sides went physical lots of shirt pulling and frustrated that after 10 decent minutes we got dragged into that which isn’t our style.

That lad who was marking Coburn got away with shirt pulling all afternoon. Your keeper started time wasting midway through the first half. We werent at the races but at least tried to play football

You played football along the back three and keeper yes then pumped it forward eventually. Not sure if you watched on iFollow or in the ground but Coburn have as good as he got. The free kick early second half he had his arm around Jones yanking his shirt off and he gave you the free kick.

It was scrappy from both sides unfortunately for us you punished an error with a little luck from the referee (similar to the luck we had against Charlton).

We move on, I’d have snapped your hand off for 3 points from Argyle and Rovers away so to be frustrated with only 3 is a positive and onto two home games against sides at the bottom so onus on us now to bounce back.

That f***** kit though!

You scored with your first shot on target due to a keeper fuck up, granted you were much better second half but we are so wasteful and nowhere near clinical enough when we pressure sides.

First half Blackman made 3 or 4 good saves and had we led at HT no one would have been surprised.

Ps what the fuck was he doing for our goal

I'll take the point and say thanks

That was cold and pretty uninspiring. Feel we were slightly the better side first half but you came strong towards end of the game. Ball just wouldnt bounce right for our attackers, the amount of times it would bobble away from Diamond etc.

Defences for both sides well on top and struggled to create clear cut chances throughout. Think we are 2 wins and 8 draws from 10 home games!

It really is strange how we can never get up for a game against FGR.

Oh well, take the defeat on the nose and concentrate on getting back to winning ways next weekend.

Didn't think you did a lot at all second half. Stanno should have scored when gifted the chance from Shockdale. A few times we were through but just didn't fall for us.
I suppose I ought to be grateful that you lot celebrated a point against us like you won the World Cup.

Hope we can put in the same performance at Bolton

You seen our record at your place? Take what we can.

As I said after the goal you were in control but on our first half we probably warranted the point.

All the best for the season, and just imagine if that point is what pips Argyle to autos

Thanks, but I think you need to change your keeper

11 clean sheets in 21 says not. And fuck having that Ginger twat in there instead.
Three massive mistakes today. Only one was punished. At least the ginger twat has a recent promotion under his belt.

Stockdale isn't perfect but he is better than Dawson, never liked him. We let the better one go ffs.

Fleetwood were just could'nt get into the game for 70 odd minutes, MK Dons deserved their lead and played some good football. Carl Johnson playing at left back scored a fine equaliser and then it was game on with end to end from both sides. Fleetwood definitely had the bit between their teeth and almost at the death Dan Batty scored with a thunderbolt of a shot. We are a work in progress, at the times in the match our defending was worse than crap, struggling to cope with corners and crosses. BUT we really have a never say die attitude which has seen us come back from the 'dead' on numerous occasions so far this season. Hopefully we can get some firepower up front in January sales, just like all the other clubs eh.........

Stevens wasn't timewasting he's injured. You could tell by his performance that he was injured initially Jones took the goal kicks then he started taking them and couldn't kick them long he was definitely playing with an injury.

Yeah the commentary couldn’t understand the referee lecturing him when he wasn’t taking particularly long about it.

Dropping 2 points, gaining a point depending on how you see it for us didn't really cause any damage with the chasing pack not doing much.

Ipswich todays big winners and now go back top, Oxford next week won't be easy but to go up we have to win home games.

Wycombe host Ipswich which won't be easy for em
