Have we any coveage........
 

Anybody hear if we've got any?

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

I don't think my nerves would take radio coverage - it'll be "live scores" on the BBC Sport website for me. It's good when we're at home 'cos you don't have to scroll after every refresh - I can just glance across from the telly occasionally - well every 15 seconds :D

Anyway, on with the rose-tinted glasses and here we go ....

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

I can't find mine.........not my rosy ones anyway. I'll listen to the dingles as always.

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

Mine saw Branch starting his late push for fans' player of the year - then I took them off and found he wasn't even on the bench !

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

Lincon Up already.....

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

There's enough of him to make a bench..................and a table :dflam::D

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

Left lens cracked - things can only get better ...

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

Chester are getting a right slapping 3-0 to D&R

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

Dingles down to QPR......

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

Apart from the Daggers the rest of the scores look OK so far .. obviously we broke Chester's morale on Saturday.

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

Not a good start by the sound of it - we can only get better can't we ? :D

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

You've been to the same optician as me Graham - see you Saturday at Griffin Park.;)

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

Lets hope those below us don't get any better......we do need some fresh ideas, not sure what. Sounds like Toddy is finding his feet again. Come on Stanley.

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

It's the Refs fault..........

Andy, Andy Todd.......come on lad push on.

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

Cheers Chris

Guess I must have been. I keep losing my connection with the board but I see the score is still the same.

Am looking forward to Saturday, though Brentford are 1-0 up at Barnet.

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

I see Stockport are running riot at Rotherham - now 4-1 up ! :eek:

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

Oh no - Lincoln now 2-0 up !!! :mad::mad::mad:

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

Bollocks, Come on John, wake up or pack up.......

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

0-3 There you go John, Cars waiting........

Re: Have we any coveage........

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

In goes a third for Lincoln - we've had it now !!! :mad::mad::mad:

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

****** it, I'm off to watch tarts on the telly.

Good night Lads.

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

That's my rose-tinteds totally stuffed, armoured goggles on Saturday ....

Wot you doing on here already Macca ?

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

lol, i wasnt wishing that upon us y know.......i went for a 2-0 win for us.....................:mad::mad:

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

But not out :)

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

What an abject result!!!

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

I thought we might scrape a 2-1 win (was trying to be optimistic).

Now totally pessimistic about the Brentford match. :(

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

Just come back, wouldn't be optimistic about rest of season!!

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

My Wife (Sparkie) was at the game tonight, unfortunatley I was working so couldnt go, and according to Her we played well at times but just couldnt score..........................I really do despair for the clubs future if this continues, and Im afraid this result has only served to bolster my belief that it is time for Messrs Coleman and Whalley to go while we still have a Club, sorry but thats how I feel :(:(:(

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

Can understand your thoughts, but, let's look at the bigger picture....
How far have we come in how many years?
Do you really think, 'enough is enough'?
I've only been here since Unibond days, but, until tonight, have enjoyed every minute of it!
Surely, they deserve our continuing support?
despite the fact I walked off early!!!!!!!

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

Overall i dont think we were to bad tonight we played some good football but just did not get the rub of the green as they say,I think if one of the many chances in the first 45 had gone in we would have had a bucket full.Toddy was back to his best down the cow shed side in the first half and in general when we ran at them they looked dodgy to be honest we made a poor team look good. they only really had three attacks and scored on each occasion but sometimes thats how it goes,IMHO it didnt help that the ref and the liner on the cowshed side were diabolical i would,nt let the be in charge of a sunday league game an absolute disgrace we didnt get a sniff from them all night.

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

Well Said SC
Toddy was immense
We were mugged by a shower of ****e.
We needed Mannix and Webb on B4 the 2nd & 3rd Tho
Many players were shagged after the great effort they had put in.
Cowshed liner was just as much of a T**T as the ref.
3rd goal felt like a kick in the balls but you miserable whinging wankers should NEVER walk out befroe the end.

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

i agree with the liner and ref had a stinker we did play some good football but ive just watched the goals on granada soccer night and i knew it wasnt my imagination evey goal was scored by a spare player running through the channels we need to plug the defence with a defensive midfielder covering the oppositions spareman running through the channels...

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

I accept what you say, however we cannot continue to blame the Officials, they have to apply the laws of the game, they have to be un biased ( no matter how biased we feel they are being, believe me they are not ), they can only give what they see ( remember your line of sight is totally different to thiers ), they have to make a split second decision and STICK to it ( no Andy Gray graphics on a football pitch!! ). I would say, do you think you could / would have done a better job?

The AR has to watch the ball, the players, the defensive line and the Ref all the same time. All AR's are given prematch instructions by the Ref. The general rule nowadays ( in giving offside decisions ) is that you keep your flag down untill the ball bounces, which can often give the impression that the flag is 'late' and also lets the defending player/s get back again giving the impression that the attacker is onside.............however as he was offside when the ball was struck, he remains so when it bounces!!..........Confusing? you should try applying it!!!! LOL.

I personally find it much harder to run the line than Ref the game, mind you I'm fat and getting on a bit now!!!:o

Refs and AR's do a difficult job, but like you and I they are human and mistakes are inevitable, and lets face it, its only human that we tend only to remember the 'bad' decisions, especially when things are'nt going our way!

By the way what have you got against us Saturday/Sunday league Refs.............lol :D:p:D

Ok I'll shut up now!!

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

another plus point in home matches of the past it looked like players had'nt put a lot of effort well tonight they did maybe to no avail but i would rather see them lose after playing with a bit of effort and tonight they did...:mosher:

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

this is what i think we need to do?keep coley, get coley to go on a defensive course that is no slur on him he is a young manager and still learning ,get a defensive midfielder or some body who we have already got to trrack back and defend against the spare man it might cut out the defensive mistakes we keep making as the defenders are always caught in 2 minds which player to go for.. whoever we have played this season always seems to have the tactical nouse to have a midfielder coming through the channels and none of our midfielders track back as they take their eye off the opposition players.sign or loan an all n out striker who stays in the box thats no slur on mully because he wouldn't get any of the ball if he didn,t vary his positional play.we need a striker who is always in the box because mullers made a brilliant cross tonight but there was nobody there. we are starting to have the basis of a half decent team again just needs tinkering with and a few cogs in the wheel;):)

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

Play a defensive midfielder?

I'm sure Proccy and Jay Harris are both defensive minded midfielders! The midfielder we need is someone who can create things, someone to put their foot on the ball and pick a pass, keep the ball and create chances. That player should be Craney playing in central midfield and not as a striker.

To be honest I thought we were awful tonight. The ref and linesmen to be fair didnt do much wrong, we created chances but we could not finish them for love nor money. The football was poor, it was all up in the air like ping pong, hoof forward and then hoof straight back to our defenders. Effort? Majority were coasting along tonight, thought we were plain, boring, easy to defend against and frustrating.

Teams are coming to the FES and its just too easy to play against us and pick up points. Craney playing up top IMO isnt working, and were basically playing 4-5-1 at home which isn't good. This system works away and as we know from playing it away from home it picks up the points and is the right system to use, but not at home. I know we've no fit strikers bar Mullers but surely someone has to be brought in before Saturday, we need some pace and someone to frighten defenders as we are so predictable when going forward. I've just seen the goals on SkySportsNews and really I dont think I need to comment on the way we defended when the goals were scored, mis-kicks, players not marking etc etc......

We've got to be careful that we dont get sucked into this dogfight at the bottom because we are dropping down in there. We need something on Saturday which is a big ask and the next few games arent easy. Tonight was winnable, but yet again a home game goes by and another defeat. We seem to have run out of ideas both attacking and defensive, we cant break teams down at home, but they can break us down with ease....

Re: Have we any coveage........
 

couldnt get to the match tonight but from all accounts (in the bar after the game) we did put the effort in tonight which is all I ask. If we aren't good enough one week then so be it, as long as the effort is there. lets have it right, Lincoln have won 5 drawn 1 from their last 8 games which is bloody good form for a team at the wrong end of the table. It was never gonna be as easy as some thought. but three nowt?
