The Vital Lincoln City members’ voted for whom they believe was The Imps Man of The Match in their 2-1 win away at Forest Green Rovers in Sky Bet League Two.
Views from berksimps: “The man was everywhere, Rheady and Eardley helped bring out the best in him and he reciprocated with a great headed goal and a penalty; he could have had a hat trick. John Akinde was simply magnificent.”

More Comments:
Imps2018: “Akinde will rightfully get most the plaudits, so I voted for Toffolo because Akinde wasn’t our only fantastic player.”
sedgleyimp: “Exceptionally good team performance but got to go with Akinde. Gargantuan performance by him.”
Impalex: “Akinde’s performance was simply top-notch and undoubtedly his very best in a City shirt. Rhead must take some of the credit for that.”
PWould: “Akinde by a country mile. Shout outs also to Rheady, O Hara and O’Connor. Bruno and Harry were also quality.”
Stevie_imp: “Gilks was really excellent in goal and other players had a great game, in particular, Harry Anderson. But Akinde was immense on Saturday. He provided all the attacking aggression and passion. Great performance.”
