You can't blame one man for the poor performance,it is a team game and Lincoln were easily the better team who wanted it more than us. In fact I was impressed with the Lincoln side.
Just watched the highlights! Was that Lionel Messi in our box not getting shut down? Where the **** was the defence? Can’t remember seeing a side with so much room to do what they liked. McCart was pulled all over the place. You can’t always play 3 at the back and push forward. Lincoln are a good side, but not that good. We sadly underestimated them.
I defended him last season saying once he had had a pre season with us, then judge him. Then at the start of this season, without Luca, I thought he was okay. Not brilliant but decent enough. Since Luca has come back in to the side, Russell has been pretty awful barring the Oxford away game. I know in the context of the game yesterday it doesn’t really matter but that short free kick he took was embarrassing. I wonder if he’d be better suited to a slower paced league.
Harsh to single him out - tone was set well before he got on the pitch. Whole midfield was non existent yesterday. Only Cadden came out with any credibility. Need a massive reaction on Tuesday
