A really good game, good atmosphere and a far better test than any Reserve or friendly fixture for our fringe players and ones who need extra game time. We made a few silly challenges in the 1st half and from my view all the bookings were correct, thankfully we calmed down and kept 11 on the pitch, which didn't look likely at one stage. Lincoln were Lincoln like, set pieces were a real threat but as said above I thought Gibbens was excellent and my MoM, a few cracking challenges in the 2nd half. Yes we looked a little uncomfortable playing out from the back at times and MacDonald made two huge errors which almost cost a goal, but you can clearly see where we are going, what the manager is trying to do and I personally love it. Decent football, good to watch but also competitive and we met fire with fire tonight and the Gimps did not like it one bit.
It would be great for the club and our owner to have a good run in this competition, the financial rewards and the benefit to the squad is enormous.
Well done DF, again.
