Barnsley 1-5 Lincoln City: Three Things We Learnt

Following yesterday’s 5-1 win away at Barnsley in League One, I asked the Vital Lincoln City members what three things they learnt from the match.

On this occasion, two members responded, so I have published them on two pages. You can get to the second “three things” by clicking here or by clicking “next at the bottom right of the page! You can discuss what has been said in this article here!

Here’s what Impalex said:

1. Michael Skubala is definitely the right man for the job – it’s good to hear the deafening silence from those who questioned his appointment. MS clearly owns the tactics and style observed during this amazing unbeaten run and all was brought to a head in yesterday’s demolishing of one of League 1’s favourites for promotion, ON THEIR OWN PARK! What a season this could yet turn out to be.

2. Jez George is another one who has come in for unjustified criticism in past months; his contribution to the set-up is second to none, as witnessed by the amazing goalscoring exploits of two Irishmen, Boylan showing what he is capable of yesterday, and Mândroiu who is proving to be a very versatile asset. Taylor needs signing on if that becomes at all feasible, and a possible promotion this time around would simplify matters there. We also must give Sorensen a good, new contract.

3. Never underestimate the value of those players who may not normally be first-choice starters. Our ongoing injury problems have brought out the best in the squad as a whole and that, I am sure, has much to do with MS again; he seems so capable of motivating everyone which is a real asset in such circumstances. As for the fans, well what a fantastic away following there was yesterday, just under 2,000 is almost as many as used to follow the Imps at home is the dark days of non-league. Let’s hope that Tuesday’s game against Cambridge is very well supported, the team, coaches, staff, management, board etc. all deserve our full backing.
