Tonight's line up v Fleetwood 4-2-3-1 formation Ward, Hoole, Gordon, Taylor, Baggott, Conteh, Vale, Finley, Evans, Sinclair, Martin Subs Cox, Crama, Grant, Vaughan, Ward, Brown, Marquis I fear for tonight's result, Fleetwood are down in 22nd 7 points from safety, I feel another defeat coming on though I hope for a better performance than last Saturday's which I felt was dire 2nd minute shot from Evans deflected for a corner Lincoln our opponents on Saturday have scored after just 3 minutes 3rd minute Sarpong - Wiredu down injured is fit to carry on 10th minute Vale shot on target blocked
15th minute Martin has a shot on target blocked looks like we are trying to score a goal Lynch Fleetwood GK down with a knock but able to carry on 21st minute Fleetwood have corner which Stockley heads wide 34th minute Sinclair shot blocked and put out for a corner which was put behind ref gives a goal kick a decision that Connor Taylor disagreed with 40th minute Hoole makes a block to stop Fleetwood taking the lead 44th minute Ward makes his first save of the Evening closely followed by beating the offside trap and having his shot saved 2 minutes extra time to be played HT 0 - 0 Lincoln 2 up and FGR score in the 1st minute still 1 up
2nd half begins no changes for either side at HT 49th minute shot from Sinclair saved at the expense of a corner Ryan Broom playing for Fleetwood tonight 54th minute Sinclair tries to lob the GK resulting in a corner 55th minute another Rovers corner 58th minute Ryan Graydon replaces Danny Mayor 60th minute Kilkenny hits the crossbar 62nd minute Sarpong - Wiredo wins a freekick which is put over the bar 71st minute Baggott clears a shot of the line with Fleetwood about to open the scoring 72nd minute End to end game here Ward saves from Stockley and Rovers go up the other end and Sinclair has a shot blocked in the 73rd minute 79th minute Hoole yellow carded 76 minute Ward and Vaughan on Vale and Conteh off 84th minute Heneghan yellow carded
84th minute Rooney yellow carded followed by Finley in the 87th minute 88th minute Ryan Broom yellow carded 90th minute Stockley off Longergan on for his debut 2 minutes extra time to be played Thought it was 30 seconds for every substitution, Daniel seems confused by the 2 minutes extra FT 0 - 0 Rovers first goalless draw of the season Dot want to worry people but Lincoln scored 6 tonight, Bolton scored 5 and FGR have scored 2 one of Bolton's goals sored by Collins Tonight's attendance was 2456 Rovers up to 11th in the league
Today's lie up v Lincoln 4 - 2 - 3 -1 formation Ward, Baggott, Taylor, Crama, Sinclair, Vale, Finley, Conteh, Martin, Evans, Brown subs Hall, Connolly, Aguilera, Hoole, Lawrence, Vaughan, Marquis Chris Lines has joined Yate Town on loan from Bath Looks like a change of formation with Vale and Sinclair playing as wingbacks 1st shot of the afternoon is missed for Lincoln 11th minute O'Connor scores for Lincoln 1 - 0. Lincoln have scored 11 goals in the previous 2 matches, could be another hiding that they are giving out with Rovers on the receiving end of it 16th minute Joe Taylor Lincoln 2 - 0 just added a 3rd in the 23rd minute Lincoln 3 - 0 When ever we play without fullbacks we concede goals so why does he persist with this formation 28th minute Hoole and Connolly on Brown and Crama off
With about 8 games to play I think it is time they got shot of Taylor and brought in the new manager to give him time to assess the player and make his transfer plans for the Summer 38th minute Connolly down injured with Lincoln getting the free kick, he is back on his feet and looks likely to continue Finley denied by a goal line clearance as the board goes up showing 6 minutes extra time to be played 45=4 first yellow of the afternoon Erhahon for Lincoln HT Lincoln 3 - 0 Rovers, only Mansfield have score more goals than Lincoln so far today 2nd half underway no changes mentioned 54th minute corner to Lincoln 55th minute Taylor gets his hatrick Lincoln 4 - 0 59th minute Taylor heads wide to miss his 4th and Lincoln's 5th 65th minute Makama yellow carded 62nd minute Aguilera and Marquis on Finley and Vale off
69th minute Taylor off Draper on 70th minute Rovers awarded a penalty Which Evans puts over the bar 73rd minute Hackett - Fairchild hits the post 76th minute Erhahan2nd yellow / red card Lincoln down to 10 men the resulting free kick blocked out for a corner 80th minute Sinclair off Vaughan on 81st minute Lincoln 5 - 0 Hackett - Fairchild scores 7 minutes plus extra time still to be played at this rate they could score 7 or 8 82nd minute Duffy, Bishop and Jackson on Hackett - Fairchild, Moylan and Makama off 85th minute Aguilera yellow carded Mansfield have also scored 5 but have conceded 1 4 minutes extra time to be played
Ref has finally felt sorry for us and blown for full time Lincoln 5 - 0 Rovers FGR lost 1- 0 to Sutton, Colchester got a point and that should put FGR back in the bottom 2 just 3 points ahead of Sutton who have played a game more but Colchester have 2 games in hand
Lincoln will probably get promoted. They only lost 12 games last season but drew twenty or so. This year they have quite a few really good players from the League of Ireland who seem to have a point to prove.
Another dire performance. Don't see Taylor as an upgrade on Barton at all. Less controversial but that is it.
I still think Mangan had the backing of the players and should have been given to the end of the season at least and if the results were under him as they are now the new appointment would have had eight or so matches to work out his recruitment plan for the Summer transfer window
Notice he is whinging about players being on the beach, Aguilera has flown 5500 miles and hopes to arrive in London so that he is available for Friday's match v Port Vale having played 62 minutes in the defeat by Argentina
Match stats show Vale had 19 shots and we had 2 Vale had 11 shots on target, we had 0. If we were a team going places then we should be beating teams from the bottom 4, or at least drawing away from home. Still don't get why Mangan didn't get the job as he was doing reasonably well. We are now gradually sliding down the table under Taylors' stewardship.
Taylor should do the honourable thing and resign, he blames the players for everything that goes wrong and he does it in public either through the press or the club media, this is the type of things that should be sorted in private at the training ground or in one to one meetings with each player NOT in the public domain. He seems to change tactics more often in a game and I think this confuses the players because most of them played under Mangan and put in good performances I can't see this cub going forward under his stewardship and as I have purchased my season ticket for next season I sincerely hope I am wrong
Bristol Live do a poll on how you think the match will end 30% think a defeat by 2 or more goals Today's line up 4-2-3-1 formation Ward, Hoole, Gordon, Taylor, Wilson, Evans, Vale, Finley (c), Aguilera, Sinclair, Martin. Subs Cox, Connolly, McCormick, Thomas, Ward, Brown, Marquis. KO supposed at 1500 hrs 1502 nothing showing to say they have started yet reason tribute to Larry Lloyd Sinclair on the RMF a 7th minute first yellow card of the afternoon awarded to Finley, Carl Winchester injured as a result of the challenge match delayed, match restarted and Finley wins a free kick 12th minute First shot of the match to Rovers Martin off target 15th minute Bayliss has equalised for Shrewsbury 1 yellow card each now FGR 3 - 0 up think they want to stay in the league I think I Follow have lost the plot according to the text we have played at least 23 minutes but the clock says we haven't started yet We have had a shot on target Finley gave their GK catching practice
12 fouls so far in this game more stop than go. 37th minute Evans receiving treatment game delayed 3 minutes extra time to be played doesn't seem a lot with 2 injuries needing treatment on the pitch HT 0 - 0 2nd half just started no substitutions at HT noted 48th minute O'Brien rattles the crossbar for Shrewsbury and Evans gives their GK catching practice just afterwards 50th minute Wilson concedes a corner and is then attended by the Physios who is now able to continue Don't think Jed Ward has had a save to make yet after 56 minutes 476 minutes since Rovers last scored a goal 60th minute Ward on Aguilera off 62nd minute Bloxham on Sobowale off
66th minute Dunkley is yellow carded 68th minute Thomas on Vale off 70th minute Thomas creates a good chance for Ward that isn't taken 4 shots 1 on target and 2 blocked Shrewsbury 1 which hit the bar stats from I Follow 77th minute Bowman Idowu and Hinchy on Perry O'Brien and Bayliss off 84th minute Martin heads over the bar 84th minute Sinclair and Martin off Brown and Marquis on Brown's first touch was to shoot against the post Thomas put the rebound into the side netting 89th minute Ward saves from Bennett
Wonderful - he’s watched Martin miss a hatful but gives poor old Marquis just 5 minutes on the pitch. Clueless.
Who Taylor or Marquis 4 minutes extra time to be played89th minute Flannagan yellow carded 1 - 3 Shrewsbury
