Same as every other away match. Not even in the same county ffs

There was a quite a bit of bother pre the game last season, saw a few people with very bloodied heads wandering around. Then there was the Poundland Eminem and his mates in our end in front of us who pushed through the gate between the away end and the biggest home stand amongst other things. 

 

[mkowlthesexynewversion]

Be an interesting test, probably our worst performance of last season as we were bullied somewhat during that game. I would prefer Moore to stick with 3 5 2 for this one, Windass possibly the one to sit out on the striker front.

Fuckiong Pussy @mkowlthesexynewversion

We're third in the league, they're 14th.

Windass behind Gregory & Smith

Bannan & Byers/Vaulks  central

Well it worked perfectly last year 

More that we have actually looked better in the last 2 games as an attacking unit playing 3 5 2 - than with those 3 on the pitch at the same time 

[HoylandOwl]

 

[Mark]

I'd stick with Vaulks ahead of Byers, especially away from home. No problem with Byers, he's probably better on ball than Will, but Vaulks excellent in air and if it ain't broke......

There’s some decent ale available at the game tomorrow pre match, get yourselves to The Tipsy Imp bar in the fanzone. It’s owned and run by a mate of mine.

Derby fan at work was praising the away part of the fan zone. Said they were well catered for. 

[Andyben]

Could meet Mouse there, I mean @Thursday

[Tank_Owl2,0]

So long as he doesn’t start Alex fucking Mighten I think we’ll do alright 

[owl71]

Looking forward to this one.  Gonna be a proper away day with a stupidly early start. My only previous visit to Sincil Bank was the pre season friendly when Jos was manager, when there were more of us than them.  Be interesting to see the place with some home fans in it, even if that spazwit air raid siren is likely to be fucking annoying.  Does sound like last season’s game was pwopa nawty.  Let’s hope we don’t get driven out with pitchforks. 🙄

[HoylandOwl]

There’s apparently been some scrapping already… 🙄

[HoylandOwl]

Anyway. I’m heading down there shortly, hopefully it’s a better game than last year

Well fair play to anyone who managed to get to bloody Lincoln for 9AM, never mind get there at that time and then have a punch up. 😳

[bricat]

Some of ours fighting each other on the train apparently.

[owl71]

3-4-1-2 probably.  Let’s see them doing the air raid sirens every time they get a corner with that back three.

Some team that

Yes.

Get in.

[Kiwi Owl]

Thank you Lincoln Citys goalkeeper!!!!

 

[Kiwi Owl]

Only way we're going to draw or lose this game is from the stupid passing around the back

Get a second and this is game over. I am totally surprised as to how bad Lincoln are compared to last season. 

Why we're happy with 1-0 is beyond me given what happened first game of the season 

[Supercockle]

Decent half. Would obviously like a second as soon as possible but we’ve completely dominated without being amazing

Oh what a surprise

Bannan misses an absolute sitter

[Winco]

Is weird that I’ve backed us for the draw.

[owl4ever1867]

Still in the dressing room, awful start to the 2nd half...

 

How the fuck did Bannan miss that

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

Thought Stockdale could have got a stronger hand on the goal.

[HarrySpeakup]

Only surprise is how long it took them after half time 

[Kiwi Owl]

Oh dear Windass

[mkowlthesexynewversion]

Lacking a clinical edge 

[HarrySpeakup]

Surely he will be taking Bannan and Windass off shortly to rest them for the mighty Bristol Rovers

 

[Kiwi Owl]

Two points dropped there

You could just tell that was going to happen. 60 to 70% possession, well that's not going to hurt any sides when it goes from full back to centre back to centre back to keeper to full back and vice versa.

It was so blatently clear the warning signs were there when they had 2 very good chances thanks to us f*****g around with it from side to side. Drill it into those brains of our footballers, get 2 or 3 before you switch to that sort of anti football mode.

Lincoln were a shadow of the side they were last season

[KrolMong]

Should have won it. Dominated, created plenty of chances, but paid for missing them, and also some awful delivery from Johnson and Palmer when they got into really good areas.

Some mixed displays today. Windass was poor, wrong decision every time he got it. Vaulks was good out of possession but bad with it. The front two were decent despite the poor delivery. The wing backs were good until the cross.

Bannan and the back three were good. Bannan ran it again. Byers and Dele were decent when they came on.

I actually was happy with a point pre game, but I am disappointed because we have dominated and should have won.

[mkowlthesexynewversion]

Careless that is the key word from that game. 

Their only opportunities were from our giving away possession.

Careless from Stockdale to let in a scuffed shot

Careless delivery from wide positions all game. Ironically the best pass was from their keeper to Gregory.

For me the intention to crow bar Smith, Gregory and Windass into the starting 11 is not really working.

6/10 performance overall after 8/10 in the first half. Got to be more ruthless 

 

[owl4ever1867]

You just knew, as soon as Bannan missed that chance we weren't going to go on & win that, too many frustrating performances today for me, Windass, Palmer, Johnson.

Brush ourselves down and go again on Wednesday vs Bristol Rovers

[HoylandOwl]

Frustrating today. Very frustrating. We dominated as many have said, we should have finished them off. Although we didn’t work their keeper anywhere near enough. 
They were awful in the first half and deserved nothing, but that early goal roused them and the home fans in the second half and I thought they might have nicked it. That miss from Bannan is one he’ll have nightmares over; it was harder to miss!

One thing that really fucked me off today was the attitude of some of our fans towards our players.

Just before Windass went off; he chased a ball down the right and he ran over the touchline, up to the hoardings where the Wednesday fans were. One bloke in a green coat, absolutely gave him dogs abuse and told him to fuck off, calling him wank and all sorts. Before then applauding him being substituted. 
While he didn’t have a good game, it’s hardly inspiring him to do better is it? 

Overall it’ll be seen as an off day, and I can see why, but I just despair at some people. 

[mkowlthesexynewversion]

Key point Plymouth always seem to get that 2nd goal where we don't

[HarrySpeakup]

The difference in the teams at the top:

plymouth score an early goal and although having only 52% possession and 5 shots manage to get a second just before half time 

And we all know that that is 100% 3 more points for them

[owl71]

They really are turning into a bit of a bogey team aren’t they.  We really should have been then one up at half time, basically we were in complete control.  They caught us a little bit cold and got the bounce of the ball for the equaliser, which was slotted away nicely.  That then woke up the drummers and associated bum boys to our right.  After that we lost a bit of composure and tried to force it a bit too much, looking for killer balls a bit too quickly.  
 

All in all, two points dropped, but as in a game that was an obvious banana skin.  I’d have settled for 30 points from the first 15 for sure, I’m not going to reassess that just because Plymouth have started the season like a runaway bullet train on crack.  Loads of time for everything to change.

Maybe not - its 2-2 now
