It was no surprise really. We shipped out a proven, experienced striker at this level and replaced him with inexperienced lads from the Premier League and Chsmpionship. We are going to struggle for goals. We were struggling for goals with the experienced, proven striker here Mikey, so no change there. Personally I’m glad mr.experience was moved on, he didn’t prove anything while here. We were a shambles today. Awful. Overall disappointing. On the plus I think Bola looks a good find and the lad from Palace too. The ref was needs investigating. Agree mate, Bola and the Palace lad look very promising, and yes the ref was very very poor to both teams. I just think it was the lack of midfield today in the last third of the game that hurt us, I never have, and still don't understand Joe playing so deep?

Why does the ref need investigating? We was that sxxt I think the ref felt sorry for us towards end of the game. Tell who needs investigation. Me. Buy my wife. For paying another 18 pounds for Tuesday night. This guy Paterson has got no experience as manager. Correct he made too many changes. Awful. I have calmed to down now.

I though Bola had a decent game and Adebomi looks a good player. Even with them down to 10 men Powell just sat in defence at times taking the ball from an actual defender to play the ball out sideways?? So many desperate substitutions and no real pattern of play yet again in attack. We never really looked like scoring today and Lincoln deserved the win after working so hard with Hackett looking a quality player for them. Do we need really so many loan forwards? when Hackford came on, who did ok, I just thought that could have been an opportunity for Scott…… A must win on Tuesday night then 👍🏻 Agree Craig that Bola looked good and the Palace lad has something about him. Kamwa did well to start but struggled when asked to move to right back after Moon went off. It a big ask to expect these young strikers to hit the ground running with very little first team experience between them. That's why we needed a bit of experience up top to help them but that is unlikely now unless we sign a free agent. It looked like us who had the 10 men tbh. Ditto all the comments regards the ref, shocking. Unfortunately it the norm for players to go down feigning injury nowdays, but the refs fall for it.

At least Crocombe managed to avoid getting booked for once

Thats because we never had points to hold on to. All they did was what we do in that position

At least Crocombe managed to avoid getting booked for once He made a great one handed save from a header in the first half but arguably should have done better with the goal.

No complaints from me with the result. Yes, the ref was poor. Yes, we could have had two penalties at least but we just didn't create a chance of note and never looked like scoring. Let's be honest we never do. Even though we clearly do score now and again I am always surprised when it happens. There's never any build up leading up to goals and you never say to yourself "that was coming". We have had 3/4 years of playing survival football and it really shows. Every team we play can play more football than us, even the rubbish ones and the ones we beat. MP said he knew what our strengths were before he started and I can see the logic in not trying to change too quickly but for me he may as well now. The issue is clearly how we mount attacks which is very hit and hope and doesn't have any pattern. I don't care who is playing up front for us it's a bloody hard gig and I think even prime Messi and Ronaldo would struggle especially on this pitch. That should have been a winnable game today. Didn't think they were as good as Charlton and going down to ten men they clearly sat off until they realised we had very little in terms of attacking threat. Even before they scored they had two great chances either side of half time so it was no surprise to me when they scored and even less of a surprise when they held on to the lead lets be honest fairly comfortably. Our attacking plan seems to be to send everybody up when we get a free kick inside the opposition half. Powell takes it, it gets headed away and the opposition break on us. Long throws, rubbish. Ball likely to be in our net 10 seconds after its taken than us scoring. We have to have more of a plan than that at this level. The balls into the forwards in the final third from either out wide or just punted up are massively lacking in quality and are very easy to defend against. Lots of work for MP to do and Tuesday is massive now. Think there are a lot of teams just keeping everything crossed that Reading don't win because if they do, before we've won again, we really are in the cart. It’s very difficult to talk about yesterday‘s game without being critical. It doesn’t always help. I’m sure everybody on here and in the ground wants MP to turn around this season on season, fight against relegation. He’s got a job on his hands that’s for sure. If you objectively put together all the criticisms and questions that have been raised over the season on here, then they were all in evidence yesterday. If we were still playing today, we wouldn’t have scored. I do think annable‘s post above, sums up the game and this season(and previous) exactly. We don't score goals, we don't create chances, our play is one dimensional and the squad lacks balance. I thought there was a good crowd in, nearly 4000, obviously swelled by Lincoln fans but I do think since Maamria departed we have got a few hundred back on the gate. The referee didn’t bother me yesterday, not getting anything from a game against an average 10 men Lincoln side really does. I see Stockton scored a great winner for Barrow yesterday.

I have calmed down now. I have never seen a Burton play so bad. So I was all over the place. It's only a match. Sorry got excited l could not believe someone or anyone could be blaming anyone but the manager. Why change a winning team? I said that we should have stuck with Gary Mills. Hope l am wrong.

13th..... We are back on Tues 6th.... Cheltenham. My point was/is....Carlisle are bottom and we play them soon; a yardstick. Cheltenham (this Tuesday) are hardly setting the world alight, either. I think it might be a bit like a horror film - watching through my fingers.

I couldn’t make Saturday and reading the comments it seems I dodged a bullet. Tuesday can’t come quick enough for the players to atone for that performance. Reading are picking up points. We have to look over our shoulder. (Cue Paul carrick).
