Blyth (6-11-25, 23rd) at Lincoln (13-16-13, 14th)

Maybe we'll play better with nothing to lose. Yeah, right. We're 10:1 dogs, they're 1:6 faves. And I just want this to be over with as much as the players do. We'll try 5-4-1 Counter, just to be different.

GK: Knight
D: Brown, Seery, Jones, Purvis, Rowbotham
MF: Matondo, Wedderburn, Groves, Vipond
ST: Cofie
Bench: (Sinclair, O'Connor, Stephenson, Bembo-Leta, McDonald)

Halftime: Lincoln 1 - Blyth 0
They need just 11' to get a goal off a corner

Outshot us 3-2 in the half. And that's about all there is to say.

Fulltime: Lincoln 2 - Blyth 1
McLaggon pounds home a perfectly centered cross into the box at 62'
Theo Brown prevents the shutout with a nice header on a long pass by Rowbotham at 88'

Too little too late, although I have to admit that we got a surprising amount of effort from most of the squad today. Outshot 10-7 but we worked hard with the exception of an awful effort by Cofie & another inept outing by Vipond.

Knight 6.3
Brown 7.0 & 1 goal, Seery 6.9, Jones 6.6,
Purvis 6.8, Rowbotham 7.0 & 1 assist
Matondo 6.9, Wedderburn 6.9, Groves 6.5, Vipond 5.8
Cofie 5.9
Sub: Bembo-Leta (55' for Cofie) 6.8, O'Connor (63' for Vipond) 6.9, Sinclair (78' for Purvis) N/A

The loss, and 16 matches in a row without a win, drops us to dead last behind Braintree. The goal was Theo Brown's first for us.
