City stroll past Mansfield

Lincolns new away kit was unveiled and to my surprise was in fact very nice, although the white shirts with red trim will not be available until September i will certainly be buying mine!

To the game…Mansfield had the ‘really early’ mental advantage after winning a free-kick within seconds however they thrown away the chance to do anything dangerous with it and ending with a goal kick to City. Marriott kicked long and accurate with the balling falling to Forrester [I think it was!] who played a through ball for Dodds to poke home with only a minute and a half on the clock.

Ex-Huddersfield star McAliskey was proving lively upfront and on 13 minutes won a corner from Moses, the resulting corner was headed clear by Brown.

On the 34 minute-mark Mansfield were awarded a penalty after Green shoved Michael Boulding who brushed himself down and scored the resulting penalty. A minute and a half later N’Guessan fount himself with a chance and slotted home via a deflection off Mcintosh.

HT 1-1

The Imps dominance paid when Stallard’s shot went in off the post on 53 minutes. Green later had a header cleared off the line. Mansfield piled on the pressure in the 3 minutes of injury time with 2 corners however neither beard and fruit and the Imps registered there first points of the campaign!
