Great half, all over them.

Robins is an absolute disgrace for not playing 5 up front though .

Need to keep the momentum second half
Must be 3 points today against this team at home if we want autos.
Clean sheet a priority.

Decent half...lots of possession but need to be better in final third. Shooting from distance more on this game. Full backs playing very high and putting in a mixed bag of half decent and awful balls across. At this Moment almost looks like a training session. Not impressed by Lincoln.

Pretty much everybody can see we aren't getting enough forward.

We tried to take the last one miles from where the foul happened tbf, and he blew before we had the advantage, but yes. Overall he’s been miles better than recent ones though.

Good half. Suspect if we didn’t have the extra man in midfield they may have actually got out of their half and fashioned some chances!

We have 67% possession and 10 shots (to their 1).

That's total domination.

Do people think if we had 2 out and out strikers on the pitch we'd magically be 3 nil up?

I just don't get it. Great performance and still people moan.

Cheer up you miserable bastards, it's Christmas.

Fuck sake....we're 1 up and people are still arguing. Its the Saturday before Xmas, we're 1 up, Harlequins are making a comeback against the franchised scrum and we're back in the play off places as it stands.

Yes theres another half to go but some people seriously need to chill the fuck out. This place sometimes....

So those shots and possession don't count? I give up. You're right. We should be playing 6 up front and we'd be winning 5 nil

We are one up, we need to be out of sight and kill games off.

Hopefully we get another early on in the second but if we don't it's going to be nervy again.

Encouraging first half but you you're always a bit wary once we hit the break 1-0 up. You're almost expecting them to bring on another striker, us to retreat into our own half and let them come into it. But we shall see.

I get it to a degree CVD but the levels of dramaqueenness and over reactions on here are staggering at times.

They way some people talk, you think we were in the bottom 3 without a win since August.

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 and midfield where we were overloaded with players for the first 30 minutes. Lincoln won't be that bad again in this half - I hope we grab the 2nd goal soon and don't regret coasting through the first 30 minutes of the match.

I’m in the middle of the ongoing argument as at times he is isolated but equally we are playing two attacking midfielders, so there is an intention to attack.

As always, the football is good until the final third.

Unfortunately the weak link is Godden. As I said in a previous post, he cannot play the lone role, even with two behind him. That’s why we aren’t creating more -the attacking two midfielders can’t get beyond Godden as a) he’s barely involved and b) therefore isn’t holding up the ball or linking play.

Even so, it was a half of absolute dominance. We’ve been here before, which is why it’s key we push on. I’d be tempted to give Biamou a go up front, either in place of one of the midfielder or a straight swap.
