Lincoln v Stevenage - What went wrong today?
Views: 1239
I don't think anyone watching that would think we deserved anything out of it. Lincoln looked all over us from the start and if it wasn't for some fine work by Marshall in the first half we'd have been a goal down early.
We had some chances and Lubala genuinely looked a bright spark but other than that we looked wasteful and aimless. Lincoln clearly did their homework and completely nullified us on crosses and set pieces.
Setup by an unfortunate slip from Piergianni, there goal was thoroughly deserved, and I've got no idea what the lads were doing when Lincoln swung the ball back in.
They are the best team we've faced this season so no time to panic but considering the only other team we've played among the promotion/playoff contenders is Huddersfield (1-0 loss at theirs) it doesn't shut up our critics who point to the dross we faced in our opening 10.
I'm ready to chalk today off as a bad performance but Bradford now feels like a must win if for nothing else but morale and belief. We need a win against one of the front runners to counter the belief we've just had an easy start.

Why change the starting line up from a wining formula against Lincoln away ???
Don’t make Sense .. to have Reid and Roberts in bench was stupidity !!

Roberts who hasn't started for a number of games now (after putting in lazy and dogshit performances), which we won?
Reid, who hasn't scored for a while, and missed an absolute sitter against Luton, as well as a few chances for Northern Ireland, whilst Ahadme scored in our previous fixture?

Feel like their staff really did their homework on us, they were doubling up on Pheonix as soon as he came on for example.

Yep, felt like they knew exactly how we were going to try to play and were able to completely nullify us throughout.

Barnsley did us a favour against Bradford.
Looking at the stats I've not a clue how Reading didn't get anything from Cardiff.
2nd with a game in hand after a defeat isn't a bad spot really.

Great start from Jack Wilshere, Luton lost 2-0 to Mansfield.
He knows Hertfordshire is far superior

Too many players turning in 4/5-out-of-10 showings today.
Jamie Reid came on, apparently? Front midfield three were absent or unable to link up play for most of it. We looked awkwardly vulnerable on the break from our own corners.
Everything was just below-par.

It's pretty simple, I went today and the last game I went to was Huddersfield. The good news is I'm not sure when I'll next go.

We had an off day away at a decent looking team. It happens. A disappointing performance, but everyone will lose at least a handful of games in any Football League division

I'm reasonably confident that the management and the senior players will be united in saying "that wasn't an acceptable performance, if we want promotion, we can't play like that".
Yes Lincoln as expected were a decent outfit, with a well drilled defence and disciplined shape, and they won deservedly, but that doesn't excuse how poorly we used the ball, and we had it quite a lot.

Bad day at the office. Don’t overthink it. Lincoln are and were decent.
Don’t think international break helped either. Killed our momentum

Exactly that. Just move on and we go again.
I'm now less confident about beating Birmingham's point tally though.

I didn’t see any of it today so can’t say how we performed, but we were (apparently) terrible and went away to an in-form team who played well but only managed to put one past us. On their home turf. It doesn’t sound like the end of the world to me.
