13th March Match Thred

[codaplenty]

Derby day tomorrow and Fleetwood go into this with a 100% record ( of losses ) against the lashers

I really feel Grayson is making his mark at the club, not just the recent results but earlier ones when the the team were playing well but just not getting the results. For all clubs its always fine margins, sometimes you need that bit of luck and the bounce of the ball to go the right way. I dont think we'll ever have a better chance of getting a good result but we play a team who are also in good form with definite eyes on a play off position. Neil Critchley has done a very good job since taking over

A draw will be a positive, if we win you'll hear the screams where ever you are

 

[Tinnion's right foot]

Imps host Dale tomorrow. We've been a bit up and down recently, but would be disappointed not to win tomorrow. We can go top if Hull lose....

We'll do our best.......

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Absolutely no idea about tomorrow, no idea if Fejeri or James are fit or if we’ve got any youth strikers good enough to make the squad. If we go into the game strikerless as we did against Crewe we will definitely lose

Bit of a dead rubber for us this one, against our friends from Swindon. We pretty much don’t have anything to play for so might play with more expression, that lot might up their game against their old rivals. Who knows.

 

[Bobbin']

Shrewsbury at home.

Expect us to win, not because we’re any good but the team have started giving us hope again in the last week or so of the play-offs and I’m expecting that to continue before crashing down probably in April.

If you need cheering up just wait and see what dross ineptitude we serve up today. You are in for a treat!!

 

[Luke Imp]

Home to Rochdale for us today and needless so say it's one we are expected to win.

The last two performance have been an improvement on the previous handful so hopefully we're out the other side of our blip but we'll soon find out if we are with Gillingham, Sunderland and Oxford after today.

More than capable of matching any dross served up, as we’ve seen in this half

 

[Indian Dan]

Quality goal in the midst of a dross fest

 

[PuB]

Spent the whole half booting it in to a strong wind, never going to work. Good goal though as said above

 

[PuB]

Blimey 3-1 Gills now, Swindon have collapsed this half. No wonder you guys sound depressed

 

[PuB]

Sheridan making 5 subs in one go, has that ever happened before?

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Ipswich away. We have changed our side a bit, only one up front so two holding midfielders instead of one. So a bit more defensive, which given how bad we have been made be sensible. Assume Mayor might be expected to play more of an attacking the hole role, or maybe Camara will.

 

[Agombar stool]

Sheridan making 5 subs in one go, has that ever happened before?

The guy is basically being the equivalent of an online troll but actually doing it as a manager as a professional football team. Beyond pathetic.

The management team will now be questioned about changing the captaincy of Conroy as well as making 5 changes at once and will throw their toys out of the pram. Total parody.

 

[Super_horns]

What magic does JFH do at Burton.

Another impressive result on the way potentially?

 

[Indian Dan]

Looks like Sheridactyl is getting the boot.

Cheers, Gills!

I keep waiting for the bubble to burst. It will, but hopefully not today at 2.0 up...

 

[Guernica]

HT: Imps 0 - 1 Rochdale

Rochdale have been excellent - aggressive, positive, attacking and hard working and are unfortunate not to be 3 or 4 up. They do show a defensive fragility although that was only tested at the very end of the half.

Imps have been woeful, off the pace throughout.

The HT score is nothing to do with Burton (although Hemming stuck 2 of them away quite nicely). Just watch the highlights of the 3 goals later. Worse defending you will NEVER see.

Oh no,they’ve dashed hope a lot quicker than expected. Good stuff.

Imps have been woeful, off the pace throughout.

Despite another Rogers cracker, Rochdale ran out far and away worthy winners, it should have been more.

That was as bad as it gets for the Imps, so passive and poor whilst our season has relied on aggression and pace. Worrying performance and the slide continues.

 

[Gassy]

Such a frustrating game. Really should have been out of sight by the final 15 mins until Rodman was injured and the horribly out of form Hanlan came on. Then suddenly we’re desperately clinging on for a point and Wimbledon unlucky not to win it.

Especially as it looked like the were denied a stonewall penalty in the final 3 mins

 

[Luke Imp]

Didn't see the game but when I checked at HT and the stats read Lincoln shots 1(0) and Rochdale shots 11(8) then that's going to have to be one hell of a turnaround at half time!

We're letting ourselves down at the minute, we at a risk of drifting away if we're not careful.

 

[codaplenty]

Strong defensive performance from Fleetwood and at least we've broken our duck of 4 successive defeats at their place ( maybe 5 ! ). James Hill is coming on a treat, strong tackling, good awareness all around and his throw ins are a real asset to the team. Sam Finley and Dan Batty ( again ) had great games in midfield. Not much up from I'm afraid but hey this is another positive for result the Cods

Unless we can get Bridcutt, Grant and Walsh back we'll fall away. Without those 3, we've not come up with another plan to win games. I feel sorry for MA and the squad, I think all teams would struggle without their 3 best players it's just unfortunate it has happened right now.

 

[Luke Imp]

And all at the same time with medium term injuries. Could've got through with losing one of them, two at a push but no way three.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Clean sheet, 3 points and a hat trick for Hemmings. Pleasing day today all round.
40 points, perhaps we need 4 more wins to be safe.

 

[Crewelad87]

Gift wrapped those 3 points for Burton today. 3 massive errors for the goals. Burton were good though, worked very hard and looked very organised, and Hemmings took is his goals very well.

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

Another frustrating afternoon. Rochdale played very well, but on the odd occasion we did attack, you could see the nervousness at the back from Dale. As soon as Dale scored though, that was that. Think thats he 6th home game we've gone in to the break 1 down.

Thank god after Gillingham on Tuesday, we have a run of away fixtures and hopefully we see Bridcutt back in the team.

We are struggling and hopefully we will do enough to cling on to a playoff place!
