“At times he was almost unplayable.”

The Vital Lincoln City members’ voted for whom they believe was The Imps Man of The Match in their 1-1 draw away at Mansfield Town in Sky Bet League Two.

Views from berksimps: “A stunning creative display from Danny Rowe, first touch and quick feet were mesmerizing and worthy of any Championship midfielder. His confidence sky high, as he took them on and left them in his wake. Sprinting, pinpoint passing: at times he was almost unplayable.”

syimp: “Danny Rowe. Was involved in everything positive we did going forward. Distribution was excellent, several mazy runs, only let down by lack of support. Deserved a goal.”

bbh 11: “I went for Bostwick simply because when we were under the cosh in the first half he stood head and shoulders above the others in defence and for me was immense, also keeping Tyler Walker quiet.

Rowe, Anderson and Pett all had good games as well.”

johnolbe: “Danny Rowe really showed up for the big game when he was needed. He was happy to take the ball to his feet when he was tightly marked and jink about beating his markers and creating space. They had big name players in Walker and Grant but they were well overshadowed by Rowe, the best player on the pitch.”

Stevie_imp: “Danny Rowe had a really good game and deserved a goal. Involved in all major attacks he also goes back and defended. Great pace on and off the ball. Looked a player from a higher league.”
