Working for the Arabs would drive anyone to drink.

We were just saying that Thomas Frank looks spaced out.
Must be a problem among the premier league managers.
0-1 Foden

City have had more of the ball and we can't get it off them. But when we have had it, we created a damn good opportunity for Wiles.
Could do to bring our big guns off the bench before long.

0-2 Savinho?

Ten subs. Only 3 mins added?

And he barely played all of that. Pretty good effort tonight given what we were up against.

A bit more luck and we could've had something there.
Ashia hitting the post. The header from Wallace when Castledine got in his way inadvertently. The Wiles shot in the first half.
Clutching at straws, yes. But we done alright. Cudda got stuck in more and pressed higher, but they would've just passed straight through us.
Two-nil defeat against a team like that ain't too bad.

If you can be bothered, we get a brief mention at about 6 minutes. It's a good pitch and the weather was good.
And he remembers us being in the Premier League with Wagner.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but the truth was that although you were well-organised and everybody gave their all ....... you had no ambition. Lincoln played Chelsea and tried to win and very nearly did, you left out potential match winners and stranded Dion Charles on his own so far up front you might as well have organised him a night school session at the university. You couldn't get the ball and had nothing to do with it in any case.
You remained in the game because you weren't a threat, and for all their possession City were hardly peppering your goal.
You look to me as though you have some decent players who should be well-capable of getting you into at least a play-off place. Sadly, however well you defend and however organised you are, unless you have some strategy for getting up the field, and creating a genuine threat on goal teams will press you back until a mistake happens.
It was only the Sunday League but when I played in a very good defensive unit we could beat better teams because we had the mainspring of an excellent centre forward, who was a great reader of the game and very skillful. So, we could break fast and he always kept the opposing defence honest. Last night you couldn't even reach your centre forward. I like Dion Charles, but your manager was asking the impossible of him. I'd have said you had more potential than Lincoln. But you have to take handbrake off, surely?
