Dev,
Rowley isn't a tackling type midfielder, he is lightweight and the last place he should have been was on that pitch in any way shape or form. Lincoln were dirty but we should have expected it, we recently played against them, we knew their style. In the warm up they were practicing their backs playing long balls, did we not expect it ? To throw on a young lightweight skillful ball player in the 80th minute was just plain dumb and crazy.
Jack made a statement at the AGM that he believed JBW's best position was further forward. If any game was calling out for a bulky solid combative substitute, it was JBW on Sat - but no, we put on Rowley who after 1 heavy tackle kept well out the way.
Our tactics were so pathetic it defies belief that a manager with the alleged footballing brain of JL could even dream we might get a result. In the first 10 minutes they missed a couple of good chances. That should have rung alarm bells. Rhead won every header he went for - who did we have marking him? Well he's tall so lets put COG man marking at set pieces, who on average wins about 1 header a game, he didn't win 1 on Sat.
If it wasn't so laughable I would have cried buckets at our ineptitude. I'm just glad I squeezed in that pre match drink and had a fridge full of beer to go home to.
