Mounts Kipper Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Poor that tonight… Schumacher poor starting selection and subs tonight. Quote
Zico Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Point away and late goals always good But same old They take their chances We don't The top two with convincing wins Aim for me now is 3rd with momentum going in to play offs Quote

RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted February 17 Posted February 17 I'm beginning to think we could sign prime Beckham and Ginola and not manage to put a decent cross in. Reading were fucking woeful yet looked comfortable for most of the game. Quote
ianofcleveleys Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Good for Burstow, smart lay back from Rodrigues, two bits of calmness in the mayhem. Their keeper had come out decisively just before but that was a big cock up. We'll draw about 20 games 1-1 at this rate. Quote
boltonboris Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Another good performance. Without doing enough to get over the line. its so frustrating. A lack of quality letting us down and even the most glass half full supporter must think 2nd is beyond us now. I don’t see Lincoln dropping off on their form and I do see us having a late season blip. Quote

Doesn't really matter where in the Top 6 we finish, as long as we do and we finish the season in good form. I have every faith that we will finish strong, we're now playing some very very good stuff, just need to convert the pressure. That's easier to do that not creating anything at all. Quote

I suppose if they bag the chances we don't worry about anything else. Unfortunately, we haven't been effective at bagging the many chances all season. Would a more pragmatic selection have been more appropriate? Maybe. Easy after the event I suppose, but it has almost certainly now cost us a chance of automatic promotion. Quote
Tony Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Glad we got the goal, but we were very disappointing. Reading are a horrible team and we should have scored more than one goal. It probably would have been very different if Kenny had put that chance away. Quote
boltonboris Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Just now, Arrested development said: Lincoln will have a bad run it's just whether we are too far off to capitalise. I’m not seeing it. I don’t know why they’re more likely to drop points than we are. What is it based on? Quote
Wanderlust Posted February 17 Posted February 17 The cliches are already out in force: Character to keep going Team spirit Never say die attitude …but despite the general quality of our players, that reminded me of so many games earlier in the season when we failed to score, fell behind, chased the game etc etc. We play attractive football at times, but it peters out near the opposition goal and we’re always committing players forward which leaves us susceptible to breaks. Attractive as it is, it only works if we produce quality chances, crosses and finishes and make no mistakes. Anyway, it’s a point, but we need to play better than that. Quote
Roger_Dubuis Posted February 17 Posted February 17 It is a useful point in the hunt for a play off spot because with the awful run in this is not guaranteed Quote
Didledee Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Who knows what game it would have been had Kenny scored but it's same old story almost every other game, new signings still missing and having to scrape points at the end against inferior sides, a point keeps us unbeaten but look how comfortable those top 2 seems to make things, yet every game we have is a close game.

London Wanderer Posted February 17 Posted February 17 2 minutes ago, Not in Crawley said: Phew. They werent all that. I do worry about the playoffs Elements of them can be a lottery. One bad day in a leg or the final and you've blown it. But it's a great squad to be taking into the playoffs.. Big disappointment to be in February and only have the playoffs to go for. Baring a major blip, it will be a surreal couple of months and we may have a number of games with nothing to play for. Quote

bwfc4ife Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Any last sniff of the autos went last Saturday. We’ve got a late goal us which is good but we’re still miles off it for me. I think we get mugged over two legs the way we are this season. Don’t fancy us at all in the play offs Quote

This has been my thing all season. We’ve not really blown anybody away like the good teams do and have. Quote
Tombwfc Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Season in a nutshell really. Miss a golden early chance, concede the first shot on target, bundle in a late goal. Having said that, it shouldn't be painted as though it was the alamo. We created very little after they scored. Overall, just not good enough. Oh well. Will all be worth it when that last minute goal at Wembley goes in. Quote
