Wycombe must fucking hate playing us.

2 of today's goals have been from playing long direct passes too because Wycombe are playing a higher line than anyone we've played this season. The isolation complaints come from knocking it around 15 times in midfield and then having 1 option marked by a back four ahead. Giving it up now so I...

But it's fine to play that away from home against the league leaders, they're always going to come at us and an extra man in midfield against a long ball team plays suits our passing game. There will be games e.g. home to a team sitting deep and lacking ambition, where 2 up front is important...

Come on city, go for the throat in the 2nd half

He's getting a hattrick today, can feel it in my bones* *boner

Nightmare, surely :P

Ref has done well so far today, hope he keeps it up. Would have booked their player for the dive in the box earlier though.

These are the shite one trick ponies they always are. They also seem to be defending really deep or stupidly high. Keep up the pressure and we could batter them with a little patience and composure.

That's how it used to be measured a few years ago and then they changed it from the chess clock style counting to 'Our number of passes/Total passes = Our Possession %' because it was usually just one person responsible for the counting of all match stats and they kept forgetting to stop the...

As a bit of fun, I wonder what's the best 16 players you could put together from the teams we've dropped points against this season and then how many of them would get into our current squad and who they would replace?

The Lincoln defence are just a bunch of huge cloggers. Bostwick is as slow as defenders get and won't have an easier time all season. Crying out for a bit of pace against them.

I'm sorry, I don't think it is. We were shooting from distance centrally and getting early crosses in to Godden when the ball was wide, which has been a tactic all season when he has been in the team. We absolutely dominated that half but created very little because the domination was in defence...

First time all game we got more than 2 players in the box from open play. We started with 2 sitting midfielders in Walsh and Kelly against a team with very little ambition, it's excessive. That goal came from Kelly winning the ball high up the pitch and he's clearly been pushed onwards in the...

We shouldn't be getting over run in midfield with wingbacks and 3 centre midfielders. It's as much to do with how deep our defence sit and our playing out from the back that leads to the midfield getting over run - it leaves the midfield too much ground to cover to defend and support the...

Bakayoko and Kastaneer out of the squad completely with Jodi Jones and Hiwula back on the bench

And forwards almost always go for more than defenders.

If we can get whoever negotiated the Gary Borrowdale sale to oversee this one too I'll be happy.

I'd be really really annoyed if he gets game time over Mason in that scenario.

It's a totally irrelevant point and a completely different set of circumstances. Slade had no pre-season to get his philosophy across, no opportunity to clear the squad out and start over. (Fortunately for us). That said, Slade had a 19% win ratio across his 16 games vs the 20% in Robins last 10.
