    I'm guessing you're all as deflated as me after last sat...

    Lincoln seems scary after they spanked cambridge. but then they lost to Bolton earlier in the season.. so its a topsy turvy division and we're defining the turvy end for sure...

    Certainly our performance last sat is not a trajectory we can see continue, even as soon as Lincoln. For me, sticking with PC through the thin times means abiding by narrow losses, unlucky draws etc etc as a team finds its feet and a high risk/high reward system evolves from match to match

    It doesn't mean taking a group of players cherry picked from other teams (take Burgess-Accrington fans were weeping at his departure) and seeing them play like total muppets who haven't been coached in their lives.

    if they aren't fit enough, or good enough(?) or whatever, to play this system (now or in the future). don't play this system. or perhaps adjust it to a less high level of intensity and reliance on attack and evolve it as confidence and fitness and familiarity grow?

    The big glaring omission for me (with the benefit of hindsight) in the revolution isn't the lack of Richardson, i dont buy into the idea Richardsonn is this mythical figure that made it all happen with Cook as the front man. But I do see we have 47 pros at the club and 3 coaches who have little experience and one manager who, despite his impressive record, just doesn't sound very credible whenever i listen to him speak. he just contradicts himself: 'I dont blame players publicly'. yes you do, you totally hung the squad you inherited out to dry. the list goes on. but ive had faith until this wobble now in his previous record, because what's not to like about it, right?

    If we get a result v West Ham tonight and signs of some match fitness and familiarity can be seen to demonstrate a better collective performance that will help. But I can't escape the comments that this was a 'nothing competition' and now its 'A Big Deal'-this sort of 'my mate Dave down the pub said...', level of expertise/contradictory comments from PC do irritate me. And btw, i do like my mate dave from the pub...Anyway; more recently he said 'You'll see a different team when we have the Sam Morsy's playing." Well, there's only one Morsy, and if he's so vital, why haven't you signed someone who can deputise when he's injured/suspended given you're saying he's so important...?)

    So I'm afraid of this Lincoln game. I'm going 4-1 and Ashton is fast dialling Chris Wilder for some initial chats about what he's doing on a saturday afternoon these days...

    Let's go with a clean sheet and 2 goals scored.

    2-0 Town

    Before that… Town v Hammers U21. This game has huge importance. A win could unlock our season.

    Whatever team he fields, we really do need a comfortable win. A defeat could well knock our fragile confidence even more

    Big Al, did you see the same defensive chaos and overall tactical collapse i did...?

    looks like a 433 tonight v West Ham. Probably a good idea…

    Wee playing 442! Spanish will be pleased. Barry left Jackson right. We already look less like a Swiss cheese set up like this. Sorry this is hi jacking the Lincoln thread.

    It’s a 4231 again isn’t it?!

    Jacko (Right) El Miz (central) Barry (left)

    Also, why is Holy playing? We have signed 2 keepers who are clearly ahead of Holy in the pecking order…

    some of these selections will likely pose more questions than answers tonight. What if Holy or Jacko has a blinder.. does he start them Saturday?

    It looked a 442 shape after the goal when they started but I agree the line up would lend to a 433 or 4231. Can’t tell now it’s bloody broken!

    norwood looks good again didn’t he? He would be preferable in the bartering ram position if Bonne is injured. Piggot looks out of place. He loools like he needs a partner up front. Seeing as the 10 position hasn’t been claimed perhaps he could do a good job there…?

    Who would have predicted we would lose 5-2 on Saturday?!I decided several Seasons ago that trying to predict the score was a mug’s game.For one Season I used a convoluted dice roll system,this Season I’m sticking with a standing prediction of 2-1 to Town on the basis that….even a stopped clock gives the right time twice a day!

    Morsy does look good. Cool as a cucumber. After the frantic crap from evans and Harper the last 3 games it’s a big plus. Mind u L1 is a different world…
