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?
