" Frustrating "

Tue Mar 10, 2026 9:39 pm

Really frustrated we didn't get the win in the end there.

We mostly did the right things in the way we moved the ball and tired Barnsley out, but didn't do the right things around the penalty area in the second half.

They had a 20 minute period in the first half. That was it but enough to get them a draw.

Still confident of promotion, nine points clear of third. But that's two points dropped.

Nothing to lose our heads about but disappointing.


Rubin my MOTM.

Agree but Rubin was one of the worst on the pitch along with NG.

I've learnt to accept that not all his passes will work but I thought he was trying to do the right things.

I f@@@@@g hope we offload Colwill senior in the summer. So overrated, I can’t understand how he never gets hooked off.

We should rename ourselves sideways city

Again we had no idea how to break teams down

Another victory for Lincoln with 40% possession. They certainly know how to see a game out.
We are regularly losing out with the vast majority of possession.
I think we may end up looking at second place.

Football is about opinions but I thought Rubin was poor after his goal, and I’m also disappointed that Joel didn’t get a look in tonight. He could have been the guy to unlock them with his bursts into the box.

I agree very frustrating but a point away not a disaster.

There will be a lot of hysteria fron those who think we have to win every game, but 9 points ahead of 3rd is all that matters at present.

Calm.heads needed now. Its still an away point tonight. 9 clear of Bolton with 10 games left. We have to back the team over the line.

Yes we are in a great position, but a couple of weeks ago many thought we would win the league.
I should imagine opinions have changed.
But, we just need to ensure we get promoted.

Our corners tell you everything about us.....We lack so much physicality that we never get first-head on any of them

Agree.

I think a few may be realising that if we do get promoted a fair number of new players will be needed if we're to have any chance of staying up next year.

Yeah I don't disagree with that.

We just were nowhere near dangerous enough around that penalty area and it feels like we would have won if we had been.

No need to start panicking yet but we need a win on Saturday to get some confidence back

We don't ever really attempt a normal corner, unless it's late and Fish is on. It's always short or hope for a flick at the front post. We just don't have those players

We have score the most goals in the league Facts would show we do have an idea of breaking down teams but let’s not let facts get in the way
