What a fucking buzz, we got it massively wrong but made amends. All subs scored, we’ll have learnt our lesson with how we set up. Up the fucking whites; I’m going to get smashed. Have a good night lads & off you fuck Duff you time wasting shithousing prick.

Don’t change a winning team is often said, unfortunately that first half is the epitome why every game is different. Can’t even win a second ball, totally overrun in midfield, inviting crosses into our box at will & have two strikers on the pitch who can’t even get a ball up to them due to completely being dominated all over the pitch. Set up totally wrong against these today

Hate this f*cking ground, always struggle there & they've seemed to have assembled a decent squad this season. Should be a good game, looking forward to it

First hour, we were pretty pathetic to be honest & looked spooked by Lincoln's intensity. We faltered into the same pattern of messing around the back with fear of trying to progress the ball forward whilst getting beat to every ball in the key areas of the pitch. Subs although 15 minutes late did change the game both Kenny & Rodrigues looked sharp got us on the front foot with the intent we'd lacked. Great header from Dalby yet again, he's shown if he gets service he's more than capable in this league & with Bonham at least we own a keeper who can actually save a shot. Weak link is the full backs by a country mile, you have a centre back at left back who can't overlap & can't get out quick enough to stop crosses then you have a winger playing right back who turns into trouble losing the ball every time he gets on it. Did well to get the point though & keeps us in the mix which keeps it interesting

Sam Dalby. The man was possessed today, one of the best striker performances I’ve seen for us in ages. Hold up play, link up play, winning duels, getting us up the pitch, threat from set pieces/crosses & even having the awareness to set up McAtee when he was on a hat trick. Brilliant.

It's funny how things work out, if we signed Kenny in the summer when we chased him for so long when he was scoring pre season against the likes of Newcastle we'd all be buzzing yet 6 months on Celtic fans say he's one of the worst strikers they've ever seen albeit in a circus of a season for Celtic. I'm frustrated with the way the striker deal has gone it looks like we've not managed to sign our #1 target we've chased yet again but I'm kind of glad the backup plan is somebody we've really dug into as it seems less of a panic signing. Kenny is not proven at all & a gamble but he's a different sort of striker to Burstow/Dalby so he could offer the pace & pressing we've missed since Dion. Downside is it also seems Kenny has missed the last two Celtic games through injury, is he ready to come in and play?

This is the big risk of leaving it last minute relying on other clubs. He's probably had his medical, had all the things in place waiting for the green light but if a club comes in offering more money & a better deal then leaves us scrambling in the bargain bin. Not a chance we've just "moved on" this late, Huddersfield are known to overpay especially last summer... we just can't compete with their yank owner financially. Wouldn't surprise me if we loan Kenny now Celtic are allowing him out on loan

Think that Sky piece is slightly inaccurate, could have swore that he's had his contract mutually terminated. Would be a free transfer surely

Good lad Morley & was great in his first few seasons but makes sense, never really been able to play with Sheehan as they both want to do the same job in the team & he doesn't really affect games when pushing forward more.

The whole Randall thing stunk of desperation, Evatt lost his mind throwing most of our budget on McAtee/Randall/Lolos hell bent on trying to fit in a bunch of luxury players in the same area of the pitch. Randall was homesick in his first two years at Posh from Devon yet miles further up North he's going to play his best football? Used our summer interest for a new contract at Posh then threw toys out of pram for them after just a few months of being made their highest paid player? He doesn't contribute goals or assists nor does he really link things together, he's a good runner who presses well but is also not one to actually commit to nicking the ball either. I thought the change of shape to 4-2-3-1 would allow him to express himself & show what he's about but it's just been a bad move for all. Compared to McAtee who also hasn't really worked out but it's easy to forget he got double figures last season & just looks like he has a lot more fight in him on the pitch than Randall. Hopefully he does well enough for Blackpool for us to get a few quid back for him.

Gale has shown glimpses, he definitely has the ability & pace. The finish he put in last weekend was a cut above this level. If we can get him going like he was against Wigan at home then we’ll be in for a treat because he was electric that day his end product was ruthless on the day. He’s not as strong on the ball as Dapo but he may be quicker & has the similar trait of making the yard to get a good shot or cross off which will always have teams worrying about him. Him being back on the other wing should also bring the best back out of Duberry too taking some of the pressure off of him, realistically them two lads on the wing should be killing teams in away matches where teams are more likely to take it to us leaving space in behind on the transitions.

He's not really done anything but then again it's pretty unfair to judge him so far, he'd missed all pre-season playing catch up & has pretty much been coming on to do a bit of donkey work in limited minutes so he's not had chance to even get in any sort of rhythm so far. If he has a spell in the team & racks a few consecutive starts together then we'll see

Really good performance considering it was an XI full of our subs bar ACD & centre back pairing against their main XI who are in desperate need of a win to take some points pressure off the manager. Good to see two lads get a their first goals for the club, hopefully it’ll kickstart them. Great to see Dempsey back, his energy & commitment is infectious.

We're obviously nowhere near the finished article & SS has done his best reshaping the squad in just one window. That being said, every team in the league seem to be taking points off of each other & there's no leading pack who look sure fire to finish top two so with the quality in our squad along with a gaffer who has the experience of getting out of the division we should be somewhat confident that we'll put some runs together. I'd back us against anybody at home this season, we look far more accustomed for the big built up games under SS too, just got to trust SS finds a way like he did at Argyle to pick up points away at the tight, narrow grounds. Cardiff have some really decent players for L1 level but they're have an Evatt type modern coach who's hell bent on possession so if we start like we have at home in most recent games I can see us jumping all over them & doing some early damage before they can even control the game.
