Not missing Madine anywhere near as much as I thought, with his long absence maybe not get a new contract
Simms MOTM today. Not because any others weren't as good but because we're not his team and he put in a massive effort. He holds up well, he lays-off well. Where nothing's on he drives himself with the ball into space. I wish he'd got his goal.
Yeah I thought we should improve as the season goes but it wasn't looking promising with results, we looked like a team who didn't know each other and thats exactly what we were. You can only react to what we saw and at that time it wasn't right, critch still assessing the players and putting his stamp on it, a few key players now hadn't joined yet like Dougall and Embleton. Many reasons.I feel like getting in my TARDIS and going back to early season to give myself a slap round the chops.
He's 19 isn't he? Big but still to put some muscle on. If we go up I'd like to have him for another year.For a big player he gets pushed off the ball too easily sometimes but I prefer his mobility to Madine's strength. Fits in well with Jerry. We need both players for different games though. Agree he did well today.
No, that's the shit thing about it.Grabbing Wizzer!! as we used to call it!!!!
I reckon that's why Robson is getting that practice in his position at the moment in the last 15 mins or so of each match. He'll be gagging to show he's better than Embleton, and to show Sunderland they're missing out. It's the perfect replacement for him in those matches IMO.Don't think we should underestimate the influence Embleton has had in the last few matches. Hope we don't miss him too much in the matches against Sunderland.
Might have said this before Wizzer so apols if I have. You could pay your tenner, keep away from the results (England F) and watch it through after your shift.No, that's the shit thing about it.
It's a rostered shift mate
Would be a quality signing for us. That spin off and drive at goal is what he is all about and without seeing loads of him I am convinced he has a natural eye for goal. Can you imagine how good he is going to be in a year or two with football league experience behind him.We need to do everything we can to sign him.
Oooh, that’s not good bless ya!No, that's the shit thing about it.

If we get to play it. Covid in the Lincoln camp.Quite an important game on Saturday
If it’s like today you’ll be needing to warm your hands on your beer glass.12th April you can
Don't know how old you are but did you ever watch the likely lads where they were trying to evade the England result so they could watch it on telly?Might have said this before Wizzer so apols if I have.

The fit Madine would be a nice option to have.Not missing Madine anywhere near as much as I thought, with his long absence maybe not get a new contract
Hence my reference to England F, which might have been the title of that episodeDon't know how old you are but did you ever watch the likely lads where they were trying to evade the England result so they could watch it on telly?
It's an impossible task.
Today, Jerry's 2nd text off eldest lad, yessssssssssss
Kaikais goal, text off the youngest, oh my word what a finish.
I'll have to make do with Colin Murray and Quest this evening
Sorry, got my eye on avftt and trying to watch a machine at the same timeHence my reference to England F, which might have been the title of that episode

Very, very happy with that. Played some lovely stuff and stood up to a real challenge first half.
I'm sure you were on a slider though ..........No, that's the shit thing about it.

Always been there, just needed time.Wow. Where has this team come from ? We are incredible !!!
Jesus, I wishI'm sure you were on a slider though ..........
Who gives a feck!Now then....whos going to stop Portsmouth...won 4 on the run and last 6 games are against teams in lower half of table.
Just look up Pompeys playoff history. Never won a match. They'll freeze againNow then....whos going to stop Portsmouth...won 4 on the run and last 6 games are against teams in lower half of table.
Hull & Peterborough aren t good teams the standard of football in the division is poor
that is why they are occupying the 2 automatic places we need to beat what is put in front of
us and hope that either of those 2 teams have a run of bad results.
Can I ask you, when was this division a high standard because every year all I hear the same cliche "the standard of football in this division is poor". We're a good team but had to settle for five draws at home to mid table and teams lower recently. That suggest its a difficult division this season. Most of those draws were were well deserved by our opponents. For example Crewe looked a great side and I thought Wimbledon and Burton were both decent.
Swindon, Plymouth twice, Peterborough twice, MKDons, Wimbledon and that's without even thinking about it. The quality has been far better in seasons gone by than this year. Hull were extremely average when we played them. Only team's I've been impressed with were Burton, Crewe and Ipswich.I
I agree and the big clubs are gathering in the automatic and play off places. Hull, Peterborough, Sunderland, Portsmouth, Blackpool, Charlton and Ipswich have all got reasons to believe they should be in a higher league and are busting a gut to get there. It's 3 from 7 or 8, but the teams below are capable of beating them. Does that make it poor? Crewe and Burton didn't look poor to me. Has anyone actually looked poor? I wouldn't say so.
Yet again Kurt, I disagree! Swindon maybe. That's it. Plymouth 4 points off us. Posh are second and have a strong attack at this level, but are inconsistent. Like most Prem teams at the minute. MK Dons and Wimbledon have played some good football against us.Swindon, Plymouth twice, Peterborough twice, MKDons, Wimbledon and that's without even thinking about it. The quality has been far better in seasons gone by than this year. Hull were extremely average when we played them. Only team's I've been impressed with were Burton, Crewe and Ipswich.
We've been without Marv, Ballard and Gretarsson for recent games, remember. But still held up pretty well. Should be a lot stronger at the back for the run in.I imagine a number of teams we have beaten recently will say we have looked average. It’s always difficult to judge other teams.
We are certainly effective over the last 30 games though and that’s what counts. We’ve conceded a few more recently but that’s allowed us to score way more than we had been doing. I hope we can keep looking average and that teams think they can beat us with their own game plans, and we keep picking them off.

Ironically I'd say half of this statement is true but the other half isn't.Hull & Peterborough aren t good teams the standard of football in the division is poor

Since Calderwood came to help Critchley, the lads have become defensively solid. Recently, we are playing good forceful attacking football too, despite all the injuries.My big gripe all season is that we were horrible to watch, well thats been put to bed, it seems since Burton at home second half, the team has clicked. Now were beating teams and entertaining. Well done Critch and Calderwood
