Coffee Anyone?

Darlo 2 Imps 0 A view from the Four Poster

As everything at the Imps including extra time is now sponsored by someone how about this for a suggestion. Starbucks will sponsor Monday`s training. They should do for in 6 matches bar a few moves that in the main flatter to deceive, we have been dire. Schoeys upbeat diatribe screams one thing. For goodness sake wake up and smell the Coffee. And such is the need the best thing to do is get back to the drawing board and take it to Triton Road and order some triple espressos. Then spend the rest of the week up at the Cathedral praying for divine intervention ahead of the visit of Grimsby who must be frothing at the gills at the chance of using us as a stepping-stone out of the relegation battle?

Best not dwell on the dreary details of this one. Surprise, surprise a mix up between Hoofnat and Beevers as late as the thirty-fourth minute gave Pawel Abbott an early Christmas present. To be fair that could have been his hatrick after hitting the bar in the second minute and seeing a good drive saved by Mazza. One nil at half time, not bad. Then the referee blew the whistle for the second half and as happens so often we allowed them to drive a bus through the middle without someone even sticking their hand up and asking it to stop. I`m surprised we didn`t applaud Ravendale`s goal.

How often have we seen that happen? Is it a club maxim; is the two-goal start kind of like playing life with a straight bat? Is Mazza the black sheep of the family, the cad that stops our plucky foes? Why are we seventeenth? Perhaps it has something to do with our form since January. Whoopee we play the whipping boys of Lincoln on Saturday! The back four can take a chaise langue out and some Pims and cigars. The front two have the pace of a tortoise the bloke on the left will disappear up his own back side – quite a part piece – all on his own and the only bloke who can shoot will only trouble the keeper from distance. And then there is the defenceless side to their game, spiffing show its Pims o`clock and trebles all round chaps!


There was a halleluliah moment today when Jamie came off for Warlowe who showed Dany what a winger does. Dodds moved into the middle with Torpey and drove instinctively goalwards. Dodds had two shots today one a stunning save the other saw the post deny him. We are not football mangers Schoey but we are not blind. For goodness sake start Dodds up front with either Wright or give Torpey some service for him to knock down to a predator with pace and a nose for goal. What`s that Bens not ready yet? Well your titanic style of football is on its way down Schoey and the time to inspire any repairs before all the Imps have got on the lifeboats is fast approaching.
