MY VIEW: TODAY TWO QUALITY TEAMS PLAYED AND THE ONE TOOK THEIR CHANCES WHICH WAS LINCOLN:

I honestly believe we were missing a Striker.

Cardiff had 77% Possession Lincoln 23% Possession.

But Lincoln took their chances.

Top of the table clash

Lincoln took their chances

Cardiff No longer Top of the league.

Kellyman should of been no 10

First 30mins end to end and you could see why Lincoln have been doing so well

34mins First real chance came to Cardiff via Tanner making the Lincoln goalie make a finger tip save.

Followed by some good chances by City and sustained pressure.

Cardiff just edged it.


H-T 0-0

For nearly 10 mins it was All Cardiff then Lincoln broke away and scored 0-1 55mins

66mins Robinson and Willock Replaced Kellyman and Joel Colwill


72nd min a excellent goal by Lincoln around Trott and in 0-2



75min Ashford and Lawlor Replaced Osho and Tanner.


77mins Cardiff had a goal Disallowed offside.


It was just not Cardiff’s day.

Better team won they were big strong organised and ruthless on the counter and will be deserved champions in my opinion. We have to make sure we pick ourselves up and get enough wins to finish second anything else will be a disaster after the lead we have had

Lincoln done a job on us, we had all the possession but absolutely nothing in the final third, also helped them that Tanner had a mare and gifted them possession twice for their goals

Tippy tappy sideways from touchline to touchline shit and wait till we are 2-0 down to cross it in the f*cking box Vs a team who are direct that sums up today really. 9 minutes goes up we are 2 nil down and still passing touchline to touchline it's mental. It don't work Vs a team like this.

You can see why they are up there with the direct everything even throws go in the box to our tap tap tap then back to Nathan I can only save a ball trott as that's all he can do his distribution is doghshit and can't catch crosses when he rarely comes off his line.

They had six in the back line at times and we had Rubin coming in to midfield to pass it back where it comes from. Tactics totally won't today from BBM who's a one trick tactic pony when it comes to systems which have worked vs lesser teams although tanner gave the ball away twice for there goals today. Head banging stuff today but still games to go :banghead:

Hate to say it but BBM out coached today

Their coach clearly did his homework and BBM just did the same sideways tactics over and over

I was confident all week, then i saw the line up and i felt worried.
Tanner out of position and Rubin and Omari playing similar roles.

Twice Lincoln have done the same thing to us, which says more than it needs to.

Barnsley on Tues now is only game we need to think about. :ayatollah:

We really need Salech when we play teams like this.
His strength to run through big players and get on to aerial balls was the only way to get through this lot.
Ng is also another miss as shots outside the box and his general ability to her under the skin of the opposition could have gone a long way.
Passing the ball around 11 players was never going to us anywhere as pretty as it looked.

Like I said on the other thread, credit to Lincoln. They did a great job on us.

Their fans were brilliant too.

When we got caught on the break, we struggle to break there defence, we couldn't draw them out or get through them, we didn't shoot enough,if we did we could of scored from the rebound, we move on keep winning, hoping results go our way.

100% this. Everyone blaming Tanner he was bad because Rubin was all over the place and doesn't have a clue how to play centre forward.

I love what BBM has done but he got it horribly wrong today. The only way we were going to score was a long ranger we had no chance of breaking them down with Rubin playing left back,right back,centre mid god knows where else.

Unfortunately I can see them winning the league as I would hate to play against that lot. They make good football teams look shit and credit to them.

It’s a shame it happened on such a big occasion, in front of a bumper crowd, but Lincoln were perfect today and it made Cardiff malfunction. Every lofted ball into the box was a waste because half a dozen defenders were ready to deal with it. They had no answer to Lincoln’s plan

The match was decided by the defences.
Lincoln defended for their lives and our defenders looked very vulnerable.
Two moments if poor defending and two goals to Lincoln.
Our defenders are generally sub-standard against any sort of quality as has been proved numerous times this season.

Osho running in the area for first goal with his hands in the air , with no intention of trying to make a challenge, I know he was behind the striker but what was he doing
