    Bloody hell. If to get into the team you have to be able to tackle, pass and stay in your position, we’d be starting the game with two players.

    Had O'Keefe not been absolutely abysmal in the first half, he wouldn't have even got on the field.

    O'Keefe is the most frustrating player I think I've ever seen in a Reds shirt. I've come to the conclusion that he thinks he's better than he actually is, which is why, for no reason whatsoever, he sticks in a random flick or attempts a flair pass that he knows he can't do, rather than just sticking to the basics. He'd be a half decent footballer if he did that. Today, he'd threatened a repeat of Northampton, before he got booked for a late tackle, and took 7 final warnings for time wasting on one throw in, before rightly getting the hook at half time.

    I think he would have been kept on had it not been for yellow card

    lets continue playing wing backs when all they contribute is mistakes, struggling to remember the last time one overlapped the midfield

    He definitely looks like he’s won a raffle to play. Just looks lost. Worst thing was him getting the ball in injury time in loads of space where he could clearly run into Lincoln’s half to eat up time and take them back. Instead he just panicked and booted it straight back to a Lincoln player.
    Clearly him and Lembisika were last minute barrel scrapers.

    He was very lucky not to have been sent off. He took about 30 seconds to take a throw in which normally would have been a yellow.

    We won today,most important.
    However when you have to score 4 to win the game ,there as to be questions asked about our defensive system.
    We either ditch the wing backs or we field someone who can defend ,and pick an outfield player who can cause problems in the opponents half.
    I really don't think the striker issue is the biggest problem.
    It's the fact we can't keep a clean sheet.
    This as to be addressed by the coach if it means telling those above to keep their noses out of formations chosen.
    I really believe that the director of football is sticking his nose in.
    I may be miles away ,but something needs to change.
    There's a tune there for you SD lol

    He's taken Al Haimour's crown as the most useless player to represent us.
