Well, it'll probably be short and sweet, this one, because, to be honest, I'm getting bored of hearing myself go on about this.
But I think I've always said, and I said it from the minute he came in, I didn't want him.
And the reason I didn't want him is because he plays conservative football and he's not a manager who likes to take risks.
And I believe that to win football matches, you've got to be willing to take risks.
And this was the perfect example of how it shows that he's a manager that does not want to take risks.
So Lincoln, Lincoln have come up from the first division.
They are a team that are happy to concede the ball to the opposition and they rely on set pieces.
They're one of the best set piece teams in the league.
Previous games, they probably averaged 40%.
I think it was against, I can't remember it was, but 40%.
35% against Southampton.
I think it was 30% against Blackburn.
30% against Bolton.
35% against...
Derby, they're a team that likes the opposition to have the ball.
50% possession.
We need a win and he's given a team that is happy to concede the ball.
50% possession, right? Straight away, he doesn't want to take risks, right? We should have been all over Lincoln, right? Because I think we've got 16 corners or something, but we're never going to touch them because have you seen the size of the players? It's absolutely massive.
We don't have tall players, so we're not going to get in on corners.
They're absolutely outplayed us at corners.
And at the other end, that's what they're kind of hoping for.
So why are we giving a team 50% possession when we're desperate for a win and they're a team that don't like the ball? We're giving them 50% possession.
i thought we were poor yesterday i thought we were you know some people say i thought we were poor yesterday we we created a few chances but we we like that kind of cutting edge but we never troubled the goalkeeper do we so create all you want you know however many shots except we had but it's a load of rubbish we never troubled the goalkeeper so you're not going to trouble the goalkeeper it is kind of irrelevant isn't it so we never troubled the the goalkeeper And I mean, I have to say, they're right back.
Number 33, I'm not sure what his name was.
