When we had the good run before Christmas I said I was happy with Jack but would judge him on his recruitments and to say I'm underwhelmed by the players he's brought in is an understatement .Not only have we not improved but Id argue we have gone backwards.Now we don't know the budget he was given but 11 players is a whole team .
I said a few weeks ago it seemed that Jack had decided to sacrifice flair for a more workmanlike solid looking team ,I take that back, he's sacrificed flair but we have become dour and worryingly haven't been more solid at all, we still have the same vulnerable soft core.I think I counted 2 efforts on target yesterday ? which for a home team is shocking.Like Dancing said,that starting 11 just did not look enough and so it proved.
It was clear from the first minute how Lincoln were going to play ,the old fashioned percentages game, get the ball forward quickly and try to achieve as many set pieces as possible, ie corners , free kicks and long throws which clearly is their strength, so If I was Jack I would have emphasised this and tried to minimise the number of free kicks and corners we gave away .We didnt do this and were so naive it was unbelievable.
Poor tactics ,poor recruitment ,Jack has lost over half his games since taking over and is now losing his credibility with some fans, including me .Of course it would be pointless sacking him while these clowns are in charge as it could not be guaranteed they would employ someone better .If there is a takeover I'm afraid the new owners wont be so tolerant of the manager.
