Lincoln City 2 v Charlton Athletic 1

Today must surely be Nigel Adkins last game in charge as manager. There are simply no excuses left and it is crystal clear that nothing is going to change with him in charge. Another hugely disjointed performance in which another of the poorer sides in League One were made to look far better than they are. It was a miracle we managed an equaliser having failed to trouble the home goal all afternoon, but having snatched it, you just knew we wouldn't see it out. A late 'winner' for Lincoln was ruled offside but they weren't to be denied with a 93rd minute goal.

I feel sorry for the 1300 Charlton fans who made the journey. Let down by a side, half of whom should be embarrassed by their lack of involvement. Charlton started ok but with Elliott Lee going off injured after only fifteen minutes we fell back into a familiar back-foot defensive display. Adkins spent most of the rest of the half imploring his defence to move up but they simply couldn't get out. Arter and Gilbey looked like they were playing blindfolded and every ball long was lost.

From the high gantry camera position, I honestly didn't see Souare until just before half-time. I thought it odd that we were playing three at the back but that Famewo was covering the whole left side of the defence. Souare seemed to be limiting himself to ten metres either side of the half-way line. It was very strange, although he did appear for the second-half. 

Blackett-Taylor came on for Lee in the first-half but I swear he didn't touch the ball for the duration of the game. Captain Kirk was moved inside left when CBT came on and he did manage a number of touches which were mostly clumsy and lost us possession. That left Josh Davison wondering why he bothered getting on the coach and Jonathan Leko, who aside from an early run and wide shot, was another who went into hiding.

So, Thomas Sandgaard, now is the time to act. Now is the time to show your mettle, admit mistakes have been made - it's not all Adkins' fault - and move to rectify them. Not easy, we know, but your business is now on fire and you simply can't sit back and watch it continue to burn. If Adkins is in charge on Tuesday the atmosphere will be toxic.
