This is a decent result by the way, but let's not pretend it makes everything great, we need to strive to get better and fix some of the obvious problems we have.

After scoring. Took his top off.

Why? What isn't true?

Again, I happen to like Robins and want him to do well but we play the same way every game. We don't score enough goals, only need to see the league table to confirm that.

We're in the play off places having conceded 10 times.

We're in the playoff positions. 4 points off autos. I think you're being way too pessimistic.

Yep, our defence is good. Playoffs (just) isn't really where we should be aiming. We still don't score enough goals.

Kelly seemed a bit more advanced today

Great win. Absolutely buzzing. Kelly and Doyle superb. Shipley excellent too.

Listened on CWR, Winch was raving about Shipley.

Maybe. Maybe I'm just still smarting from the Mansfield game. However, I do stand by that we need to be more attacking, particularly at home. The balance just isn't quite right. These things are easily fixable.

The off the field stuff clearly doesn't help, particularly the effect it's had on home attendance. That isn't so easily fixable though.

Shipley could turn out to be one of the success stories this season. I like the look of him so far.

Any got he goals ?

Let’s hope Brentford don’t come in in January with a bid which we turn down and it finishes his career like another certain academy product

Sorry , has anyone got the goals ?

mark82 said:

Winning a game doesn't change that a lot of our players aren't good enough. Our tactics are still poor, we have no plan B. I want us to do well but we should be doing better than we are. Our home crowd is embarrassing. Our owners are inept. We don't score enough goals in general and it's all a bit boring.

Oh dear! Might as well walk in front of that bus right now

Top result, the boys showed some steel and battled well after being 1 down. Crazy that Luton took another team to the slaughter but we need to keep up with the chase

Loved how he was getting really stuck in! Certainly looks more than up for the fight!

Were you too busy celebrating with your top off?

Good result, rest of Nov & Dec look mostly winnable games. A good run is needed now.

Awesome. 25 shots 14 on target and we win and score 2 goals. That’s the way it should be!!!!
Get that duck signed up for the year please!!!!!

Channel 5

Every facking time I go into mid-Wales where there's no poxy mobile signal, we end up winning away. Aside from Luton when I seriously choked on an arctic roll after Shipley's goal.

Great result City, but more consistency please, my arse can't take the punishment. PUSB.

I am chuffed to bits, however I agree with you.
We still need to convert more, more regularly not just in the odd game.
The Duck looks like he can do it, but we need one more who can as well.

Exactly. Just 4 points from the automatic promotion places, yet we are not good enough, and are a poor side, playing the wrong tactics.

We all know there are little tweaks to be made, such as a threat from the right to compliment Jones's threat from the left, but we simply cannot be as bad as people are making out on here. We are in the play off positions and have an absolutely immense defensive record.

Excwllent result vs a promotion rival

Sounds like shipley added much need creativity

I pride myself on not getting too depresssed or happy this season. We were never dominated by mabsfield abd today lincoln could easily have got something. Everything evens out over course of season and we are a top team in this league

Bodes well

Anybody know why the Lincoln fans were so pissed off at Jones?
