Playoffs 2020/21

[Imp in Branston]

I reckon Robinson must have got the water temperature wrong in the dressing room before the game .

As for us, doubt we will get past Sunderland but whatever the outcome, it’s still been one hell of a season.

 

[Guernica]

We are cursed!!!!

Talk about timing, 24 hours before the play offs and goalkeeper Alex Palmer is out with a head injury. Josef Bursik has been brought in from Stoke on loan.

The same Bursik that Peterbrough signed as an emergency loan and helped get them promoted. Could he get a double promotion? Could be a great future quiz question if he does!!!

Yep and it will be the fourth club he has played for this season

Assuming that's allowed due to COVID issues this season?

 

[Super_horns]

Typical Robinson post match reaction after a defeat .

No credit for anyone and everyone else to blame but him.

Oxford, you are a fucking disgrace.

Liquidate.

I think it’s more to do with emergency loans and keepers, both the Peterborough and now Lincoln are emergency loans.

Do you not want the local derby next season ? Fans back and all that. Chance to beat them.

He's a weird one, isn't he? Always sounds well prepared pre-match and knows his stuff but such a sore loser.

Yes - right from his MK Dons days.

Really can't stand him, whiny fat git, never his fault
Pathetic

Not if stadiums are limited to half capacity.

I'd rather just see the c*** rot to be honest.

Same as John Coleman

I haven't bothered to watch, however I do find myself rolling my eyes at this interviews on occasion. No idea what he has said follow the game on Sky however he definitely deserves some credit for two consecutive play-off campaigns.

In reality he's an above average League One manager. He won't likely ever see us relegated however against better sides we often find ourselves tactically outwitted and that is concerning. There will, as he displayed at MK Dons be the odd season where everything will fall into place and he will get a promotion on his CV, however he's not a Paul Cook who you'd back to build a side in 12 months for a promotion tilt. With KR you have to accept his flaws and I really don't think after all this time in management he will mellow anytime soon, it's just who he is. Yes, his take on negative aspects of games can be a little repetitive and occasionally as a supporter of the club he manages annoying, however equally at times he's great and does well to galvanize support. During his early tenure he was excellent and his remit was largely far greater than any football manager. That, I give him immense credit for.

Yesterday evening was a fine example of his flaws; It was fairly evident how Blackpool would play and we played into their hands. Considering our efforts to reach the play-offs, we really have needlessly chucked an opportunity to compete away naively. That is frustrating and we haven't helped ourselves.

 

[Indian Dan]

Tbf, at MK he did have Dele Ali.

 

[Guernica]

A couple of surprises in the Imps team - Joe Walsh misses out completely presumably due to injury which is a big blow. Montsma drops to the bench with Adam Jackson partnering TJ Eyoma. McGrandles drops to the bench and replaced by Johnson who will play a little deeper. McGrandles has had a great 2nd half of the season so surprised that he's missed out for a more attacking option.

 

[Indian Dan]

Slow burner, this. Evenly matched, but neither look anywhere near as good as Blackpool. Decent atmosphere for 3,000 fans.

 

[Bobbin']

Jesus Christ Sunderland, that 2nd goal.

 

[SF_]

Be a hero, Appleton.

 

[Tinnion's right foot]

Well pleased with that. Sunderland one-dimensional, and no plan B. Lincoln a lot quicker, and got the rewards. Will be interesting to see how both sides approach Saturday.

PS: Given what the Sunderland team cost: Why aren't they better?

They appoint crap managers and waste money on average players

 

[Bartonyellow]

We await another Netflix documentary showing the complete meltdown of the club I’m sure.
It’s like watching titanic on repeat.

You see loads more tits on Sunderland Till I Die

 

[GTFCfish]

Didn’t see that result coming tonight, fair play Lincoln.

 

[K-Win]

Didn’t see that result coming tonight, fair play Lincoln.

Wasn't completely unexpected, given Sunderland's form over the last six weeks or so. Difficult to see them turning this around but not impossible.

Blackpool vs Lincoln would be a well-deserved final for both teams. Easily the 3rd and 4th best in League One IMO.

 

[Luke Imp]

To keep a clean sheet after losing our GK at last minute, Walsh and then Jackson (out of the PO's now) early on was a good effort.

Didn't see the game live but I've seen snippets as I recorded it and didn't look like a really good performance from us but a fairly solid one.

We're far better away from home this season, both in terms of results and performance, and generally score at some point regardless of how good, bad or indifferent we're playing.

I haven’t followed League 1 at all this season but I’ve usually found when there is a massive club in the play offs they usually manage to find a way to win them so I sort of just expected it to happen with Sunderland.
