A win at all costs - Lincolnshire bragging rights returned - there can be no glib excuses - must win - no goals for Liam Hearn - tell the new squad it's a pride thing !

No walking away from this next game - season setter !

No experiments, no mass changes from the early winning squad - at them from the off !!

Best defenders in their best positions, please, and Amond and Bogle both up front !!

Well said Acko. Agree 100% with that.

East tait amond and clay have to start.

Why forget all the excellent pre season and barrow bromley games all because of one game at altrincham.

Stick with them please paul or you will lose the fans and players rather sharpish.

I believe with robertson coming in slows us down and amond going to the bench was just utter madness.

Toto might be injured so pearson and gowling pick themselves.

Over to you paul.

Hearn can score as many as he wants, as long as we score at least one more!

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.

I noticed Liam was not in the Lincoln squad on Sat. Maybe saving him for us.

Absent due to a virus apparently.

I thought this thread was going to be a Dave Boylen one when I saw the title.

I thought I was reading a quote from Paul Hurst himself at first.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Promise a man someone else's fish and he votes Labour.

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