Shocking game and unfortunately the referees decisions are going to mask just how shit we are. That first half was awful and if it wasn't for 2 flukey goals that will probably never go our way again we would be staring down at another defeat.
The only 2 positives I can muster is we got a point and we looked more of a team down to 9 men than we did 11. Stuart's tactics were fucking awful, Guthrie walked most of that match Clarke and Ismael were awful the 2 cbs got what they deserved even though Paudie never touched him he was rubbish.
This match proved we're a rank team and that Bolton are horrendous

Reckon Paudie might get that card overturned. Never touched the guy. He just approached him and the dickhead fell back over the board.
O'cunter is a shambles though. Never been so fuming about a player than when he fucking grabs that guys leg like a fucking rugby player when he was running on a tight angle and would never have scored from it. That boy boils my piss sometimes.
Overall I thought we were shite in the first half. I preferred this formation and the attempt and pressing. But our players just aren't up to it. Guthrie is clearly a simple player. Decent with the ball at his feet but fucked and lost without it.
Nova it the flukiest price out there. Done nothing for last 4 games, but has 2 goals now.
We look short. Well short. At full strength we are prob a mod table team. But we have a small squad, with some oldies and 'broken' players in there so we won't be at full strength very often. So without strengthening I can see us struggling in a few months, McCall leaving and us lucky to stay in the league again

God we're fucking shite. Centre halves playing full backs, our best crosser stuck in a holding mid role and a fucking immobile striker stuck on the left wing. The fuck is that about?

That's the silly thing. Could have played Woods LB, Staunton CB and AO'C as a holding mid if he wanted to drop Cooke. Guthrie on the left was a waste of a shirt and that's not on him, it's not his position. We said this at the time when Clarke signed. He'll be dicking about with the formation to accommodate him somehow to the detriment of the team.

He looked lost and absolutely knackered with the tracking back required. He wasn't left of a front 3 today though was he? Not like a Mane, Firminho, Salah type with 3 forwards. It was a deeper 3 that had defensive duties too. It's almost a 4-4-1-1 formation.

Never said he played it well, he doesn't appear to be good at anything but when he signed I did a bit of research and he's definitely not a stranger to that position

How can we expect them to perform well when they're outside their comfort zone? It's unavoidable sometimes because of injuries and suspensions etc but today he's chosen to play about 5 lads out of their best positions. Why? Things had to change after Tuesday but let's not forget that Lincoln are a decent well coached side in a league above. Was a system change necessary?

Quite telling on how confident we are in our backup, when we lost our second centre back McCall decided to play Novak at CB for 20mins before bringing on finn-cousins (who is our young cb on the bench).
Clearly not confinest that the lad is ready to even come on in an emergency. So worry about what our next starting 11 will look like.
Donaldson at cb anyone?

Donaldson and Novak at Centre Back.
Our recruitment is fine. Nothing to see here.

Other the O’Donnell, I couldn’t tell you where any fucker was playing yesterday. Guthrie is utterly wank, where ever he plays. Ismail looked like a lone striker at times. Wood, I think was in midfield. Clarke played as a holding midfielder?
Fuck me, what a shambles.
