Lincoln played very sound. They kept their shape all day and wasn't really bothered by our attack. We had a lot of the ball, but didn't do much with it. Had Welington not made that incredible shot, we lose. Stephens had a few brain dead moments today. Terrible pass back, allowing players to turn on goal, not marking close, i don't think he won a header all day.. Any time we broke down the flanks, there was never crosses into Larin. Some of that is because we played a right footer on the left and a lefty on the right. One moment we gave away: the free kick on the left center from about 40 yards out. JWP tried a shot. If Manning were on the field, we could've played at into the box for Larin or Schlotterberg. But Manning might have cost us more goals if he had started. 5 minutes on the field and falls over and allows his man to get a shot off.
We need to find a way to play quicker. Most teams will watch this match and know how to stop/slow us down. We will have a good season. But without finding answers for the low block, will determine if we have a fantastic season.
