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

Views from sedgleyimp: “Shackell as he was very solid at the back.

Will give an honourable mention for Akinde’s work rate and efforts up front on his own. If that first half shot had been a centimetre lower he would have walked this poll.”

Here’s how the poll finished:

Vickers: 0 votes – 0.0%
O’Connor: 3 votes – 14.3%
Shackell: 11 votes – 52.4%
Pett: 0 votes – 0.0%
Andrade: 0 votes – 0.0%
Toffolo: 0 votes – 0.0%
Bostwick: 0 votes – 0.0%
McCartan: 0 votes – 0.0%
Eardley: 3 votes – 14.3%
Anderson: 0 votes – 0.0%
Akinde: 4 votes – 19.0%
Rhead: 0 votes – 0.0%
Frecklington: 0 votes – 0.0%

More comments:

hulloutpost: “Eardley – On a night where everybody else was about an average 6 (Nobody had a complete ‘mare or stood out) he defended well and looked to get forward in his usual manner for a steady 7.”

syimp: “Shackell. Looked every inch the higher league player he still is. Yes, he played the diagonal ball like everyone else, but with more accuracy. Showed panache and a clear head in defence.”

German Imp: “A stop-start first half peppered with interruptions, a night where some City attacking players went missing. Consequently, my vote goes to Shackell for his all-round defending and composure on the ball.”
