Not many are fans on here or appreciate what they are doing in the game but I’m even more in appreciation of them after seeing Danny Cowley’s interviews and how they prepared Lincoln for last night.
Firstly the pre match interview, played his side down as the underdogs and spoke in great detail about our players. A little bit of mind games by talking about how small his squad was and how big a club we are while we have a extra days preparation.
Pre match in the warm up I noticed both Cowley’s taking the warm ups, with Danny leading aspects of it while also taking the strange action of keeping the players out long after we’d gone in. Firstly I thought maybe they’d arrived late at the Ricoh but since checked and this wasn’t the case.
Looks like it was a strategic plan to keep the players focused and ready to go from kick off...certainly paid dividends as they hit us from the off. Never have I seen the manager getting his hands dirty before a game.
He had us well scouted and devised a plan on how to break us down and stop us getting a foothold in the game. Hitting us hard from the off with a front foot attacking threat going out for the points. His side were well up for the occasion, strong and robust winning individual battles and having the desire to win knock on’s and clinical in front of goal. Individual game management was pretty spot on too with each player playing well sticking to there tasks. He’s pieced together a side with the old crazy gang style grit and determination.
These boys will go far in the game, no stone seems unturned.
