Quoted from The_Chief
The number of "soft" calamitous goals we have conceded against basic sides is alarming.  IF we defend as we have done over the past few games, it pains me to say but Lincoln will bury us.  Lincoln have got a stronger front line than last year and they've never been frightened to get the ball forward and stick it in the mixer.  That lad Matt Rhead is a big unit and an extremely effective target man at this level.  He's going to be a handful.  With mobile forwards around him they'll cause us problems, if we don't do the basics properly.

We need to stick with a firm back four.  I believe the defensive players we have are very good at this level, only need to look at the number of goals we conceded last year, but with new faces coming in they need time to gel, form partnerships and understandings. Chopping and changing does not help.  Hoping that our defensive strengths will return and a lot of the sloppy goals will be eradicated.

To get anything out of the Lincoln game we need to toughen up and sort out basics: get bonces first to long balls, deal with the second ball, and not be frightened to put a foot in in the middle of the park.  In these games, it's a question of "who wants it the most?" and about determination, application and drive.  Worryingly last season Lincoln wanted it more than us last season.  It's about time Mr Hurst got our players fired up in order to prevent a repeat of the results against them last season.

Man for man we are better than them, creame always comes to the top, it will be a game of goals scored hands up who now would swop Bogle or Amond for Hurst

Going to be tough but hopefully we can pick up 3 points and go on a run that lifts us to the top of the league and we stay there.Easier said than done I know but with effort hard word and dedication in every game bar none  from this group of players it is possible


One life,one love .

Lincoln are going to come out straight from the kick off ,they will play a physical game and give our players no time on the ball.Our players must not hide,we are not good against physical teams.We have got to learn how to counter a physical team.Other teams soon suss us out.

Our toughest game so far on paper so I wouldn't expect anything from this game. BUT....

....Hurst should pick our best team, not the team he thinks is going to counter the opposition*, and the team should go for it.

* adapting the team cos that Geoghan bloke didn't work did it - they still scored from one of his long throws.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Hang on, there are many experts on here who say we should not be concerned about the opposition


We shouldn't. Football matches are won by imposing your style of football on the team you are playing.

Agreed there should be no hiding places on Sat.

Two weeks ago I'd have expected us to murder this bunch of lumpers, a wobbly couple of games and the whole feel has changed  

Time to get some of that pre season defiance back and show these muppets how to play a game of football, no more soft town!!

C'MONNNNN YOU MARINERS!!
