I still think we are far too open playing 4-4-2 even though it makes for more exciting games. Margetts is a good player but I would play Rankine up top alone with Ginnelly and Crowther ( who was excellent in that first half on Saturday ) attacking as they have been doing. I just think we need that extra man in midfield to tighten up. I did enjoy the game and the lads are working very hard.  Great commitment from the loaness, really impressed with Ginnelly and his attitude for such a young lad.

You can't really argue with the loanees contributions. 2 goals from Margetts and 3 from Ginnelly.

Agreed - and if we were to put another man in midfield I'm not convinced it would serve much purpose as we have no effective ball-winners in reserve. Lincoln were as good a side going forward as I've seen at Moss Lane this season - but their defence (or lack of it) will stop them getting anywhere near the play-offs - and I think we might do better against this week's opposition by attacking than trying to contain.

The formation should have been changed in the first 10 mins against Chester. We were getting over run,they were walking through us again. We should have gone to a three man midfield way before Richman became injured. I would have took off the ineffective Margetts and had Rankine as the lone striker. It was clear it needed changing. Absolutely disgraceful performance and tactics last night. As previously stated we so needed a decent centre mid loanee and we need a 3 man mid as I keep saying. We were torn apart. Wake up Sinnott and boys or we are down.
