The Vital Lincoln City members’ voted for whom they believe was The Imps Man of The Match in their 3-0 win at home against Rotherham United in the Leasing.com Trophy.

Views from PerthImp: “Connolly by a country mile. Considering he had three almost untried defensive partners he really took charge of the defence, marshalled them superbly and won almost everything he had to. Clearly CB is his best position.”

More Comments:

sedgleyimp: “Great team performance but Connelly was immense with his defensive positioning and tackling in the second half. Central defence is his position.”

Imps2018: “I’ve gone for Chapman. Made some good strong tackles, played the ball around well and had some clever flicks that helped create chances.

Not just one for the future but one for now.”

Chimpimp: “We have a back up striker that has scored 5 goals from 6 starts. One that can convert penalties into goals. One that gives us a plan B. If his name wasn’t Akinde might have got a mention for Man of The Match.

Gone for Coker, though. All credit to him for getting back on the pitch. Made me feel positively robust and athletic. Looked like he could play but still a fair way to go physically, to say the least. If Toffolo stays fit we may never see him again.”
