The Vital Lincoln City members’ voted for whom they believe was The Imps Man of The Match in their 2-0 win at home against Carlisle United in the Second Round of The Emirates FA Cup.

Views from Stevie_imp: “Good match was that. We clearly had a planned and rehearsed set piece from kick off. Andrade fluffed it running to early down the left and we were forced to restart. Worked a dream though with a beautiful cross into Rhead who scored. Notable performances were Rhead, Green and Vickers who made some cracking saves. Shout out to Akinde who looked the part when he came on and deserved the goal. However, Andrade pinches it for me over the full 90 minutes. He kept possession, ran rings around their defence and constantly looked threatening.”

More comments:

Snats: “Vickers definitely, after coming in for a bit of stick lately he was really assured today and made some excellent saves at important moments. Andrade also great.”

syimp: “Bruno. Produced two top-drawer crosses for the goals. Caused problems for them throughout; just wish he didn’t go down so easily. May have invigorated Big John’s season.”

berksimps: “Andrade by a distance for me. Double marked for most of the game and two sublime crosses to provide the goals. Green and Rhead were great, first half particularly. Vickers kept us in it at times. Akinde gave a glimpse of what he is capable of. Overall, an excellent team performance with Andrade the standout.”
