As Ockers said...'deluded'...

How's it deluded? Sounded pretty fair and balanced to me...

you were there then?

No, but I have read the comments of both sets of fans who were and there is nothing in what Sutton has said that deviates from the general picture, both on here, on the football forum and on the Lincoln forum. It's called collating evidence, not relying on one person who has a history of being unbelievably biased

I think it's a pretty reasoned assessment as well.
Just before they scored their goal I was saying to those around me that I thought we should be making a couple of changes because we were getting a bit predictable which was giving them confidence to push forward.
No-one was playing particularly poorly but I wanted us to give them something different to think about.

I said something like 'it's okay holding a one goal lead but they're going for it now. If they scab a goal, then we're on the back foot and their confidence is up. Then they can get a pen or a dangerous free-kick and we end up losing a game we should have seen out'.

Then they scored and, like Sutton says, at that point they probably looked favourites.

The only bit I'd take issue with is where he says he can't see how we're on the verge of the play-offs judging by how we play. If he'd qualified that by saying 'the way they played today' then I think his assessment of the game is pretty much spot on, to be honest.

I'd have also added that their midfield was very weak but other than that, not an unreasonable summary.

well let him prove us wrong and win there remaining games that would certainly help us gain a play off place!!

Yer touchy you ockers
