The Vital Lincoln City members voted for whom they believe was The Imps Man of The Match in their 2-2 draw away at Accrington Stanley (Stanley won 4-2 on penalties) in the Checkatrade Trophy.

Views from syimp: “Luque. Greeny put in his usual shift, but to have played such little football and to come up with a performance like that, was very encouraging. Earned a longer contract there, I think. He moved the ball around beautifully in the first half, competed, chased and harried. It was inevitable he would run out of gas, but he looked the equal if not better of Stanley’s championship-winning midfield in the first 45. No mean feat.”

More comments:

NottyImp: “I’m going for Green. Gave their back-line a nightmare all game long. Should have scored, if he’d taken the penalty he won.”

Cricklewoodimp: “Luque. Was impressed with his industry as well s his attempts to create something. Didn’t look like he had hardly played in the last few months.”

Stevie_imp: “Luque for me too. While clearly lacking match fitness he had a purposeful and inventive style of play that should see him return to the lineup. Having said that with both teams fielding reserves and even coaching staff it’s hard to judge.”
