A bit of a non-event of a match, that was, though a gritty performance from the red's defenders and midfielders. The less said about our forward play the better. I thought Charlie should have been subbed earlier, as he took a heavy knock and barely featured after that, although he did miss a good chance on his left foot just before half time. I think he might have turned it onto his better right foot if he had been 100%. Coley needs to get hold of Terry Gornell and impart some of his scoring expertise, as his shooting leaves a lot to be desired for a centre forward. Highlight of the day was Choirboy and myself being dropped off the coach in Lincoln for a quick tour of the magnificent cathedral, a grand pint in a quaint pub nearby, and a quick look at some of the guitars in the music shop on High Street.

rubbish!
A game of So many missed chances from Gornell,Sean, even Jimmy missed a great chance . Joyce had a good game and battled hard. Need to get our shooting boots on if we want to make the playoffs. Although maybe before the game we would have taken a point we really should have had 3. Cisak made some decent saves and the Ultras as always sang loud.
A fairly poor game yesterday.
However, I was disappointed with a draw even away from home. The refereeing at times was "mystifying" 
and contributed to the relatively poor entertainment. Lincoln looked like a really poor outfit to me. They lacked any ambition and seemed happy to take the draw from the start. They only had a couple of long range shots(on target!) that Alex Cisak dealt with very easily. We made several chances but did not get any on target. We do still have a problem up front and my view is that we need a "predator" type of goal scorer. We have done well recently by scoring "spectacular" goals from Ian Craney but we are not scoring the "scrappy" goals in and around the six yard box that often win games and gain points. Still, one point is better than none and we kept a clean sheet. The defence looked pretty solid. Ultras were great again.
Lincoln's best player was their own group of Ultras who looked like they had borrowed some of our flags! On Stanley On.

On Stanley On.To be honest i thought Lincoln on paper set up a attacking formation,2 forwards and 2 out and out wingers,therefore Acci out-numbered them in the middle.
Agree that Charlie should have gone off as he was just a passenger once he got injured.
Jimmy seemed a bit off today,maybe missing that sitter was on his mind,but i would have left him on and took Craney off as him and Gornell dont seem to be on the same wave length,and a lot of good positions were wasted.
Best players for me were Edwards and Joycy although the Keeper is looking very commanding at the moment.

I was listening to Radio Lincs via PC ( until it was cut off at 2.50 ) the manager of Lincs was saying that Accrington Stanley are prob financially worse off than Lincs.He also said on their visit to Stanley our facilities were very basic indeed BUT he also said that what we lack in materials the team show spirit and its that spirit he wants to rub off onto Lincoln, he praised our lads no end and said what a good season we are having. All this coming from an away manager, made me feel extra proud of our lads.
Ok, I'll expand fully on my comment to you then!I did not write it my good man, just quoted it!!!!
Think yer absence on joes thread says it all.Ok, I'll expand fully on my comment to you then!
Don't get to see too many games but saw this one and it was a pretty dull game to be honest though if any of our players could shoot straight we'd have won. Lincoln had a lot of joy down our left and had their right winger been able to cross the ball we could have been in trouble. Still, a point here is better than we usually do. Good to meet Yon Mon and Redraine.
Good point teach,I thought that during the match,Jacobson was done for pace on at least six occasions only for the winger not to deliver a telling cross.
Would imagine it was noted by the manager and would be addressed ( midfielders helping to double up).
Going forward he was ok,but on another day it would have cost Acci as we never converted our chances.

A little unfair IMO. Granted he "lost" his man a few times but usually recovered well to get a block in. By the way, was it you that Deano came across to speak with at the final whistle?
Redraine,I wasnt critising Jacobson as there 2 wide men were rapid,but he was done for pure pace ( 3 in the first half and 3 in the second),The question you have to ask is who was helping him !!!.
Thats why i thought Edwards had a good game( and Hessey) and there positional sense gave the winger nothing to aim at,and when he went to the far post,Deano headed it away,good defending all round really.
Yes it was me talking to Deano at the end,just giving him his usually bollocking lol

Sorry Redraine,you should introduce yourself next time,its nice to put faces to web names
Will do, but I'm not sure I would recognise the back of your head again! perhaps you have an old blue and white scarf you could wear?
I think part of the problem with our full backs is that they don't get much practice in training against young, lightning fast black guys?
Dont know about chasing young black lads,you must not have watched a lot of academy football !!!,Deano spent 9 years chasing them,Wellbeck,Brandy,Adjose at utd and Sturridge at City to name a few.
May start wearing my wigan scarf from our northern prem league days,when we had 1500 watching.
Springfield park had a load of characters and our own mud slide for the away spectators.
These modern day supporters have never roughed it !!!!.
If you get time go on you tube and type in sunderland-wigan mud slide !,those were the days.
Thats why me and my mates love Acci,its like wigan was years ago,some famous outings,just like you lads have now
