A Lincoln Fan's View (My View): Great Day Out, Awful Game
Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:23 pm
Congratulations on the result yesterday, you were easily the better side. We are both struggling sides so I think it was a big game for both teams. We however, were poor. Very poor. I haven't seen Lincoln play as poor as we did in the first half for years. But credit where it's due, you spotted our weaknesses quickly and exploited them. We had a switch in formation yesterday, normally we play a 4-5-1 formation. When we play this formation we concede very few but then score few also. Yesterday we switched to 4-4-2 and it just showed how fragile our defence is at the moment. In my opinion, too many loanees, Sutton often signs a player on the Thursday or Friday and puts them straight into the team for a Saturday game. How are they supposed to gel in that time? No one had a clue where they should be or who they should be marking and this showed (especially at set pieces). All three goals were due to defensive errors on Lincoln's part, however the goals were definitely deserved because you easily had the most possession and showed decent build up play. Second half, we looked like we wanted it and started playing slightly better football. But it proved to be too little too late. We (the fans) knew we had lost as soon as the second goal went in - we haven't come from behind to win (or draw) yet this season! Rant about the game now over, I can comment on the matchday experience. We had a constant party in the Umbro stand and I thoroughly enjoyed my day out! About 10 of us went in fancy dress and all had a great time. I know the stewards enjoyed our partying! I hope you enjoyed the use of my air raid siren? Here are some videos from the game yesterday:
