Which title-winning Lincoln captain previously made 216 appearances for Manchester City?

He received an average rating of 3.40 following the 1-0 win at home against Tranmere Rovers last December. Some of the comments can be found below:

Impalex: “He was pretty dire all round but got their sending off correct; Blackett-Taylor was quite rightly given a second yellow for impeding at a free-kick just six minutes after his first booking!

They did have a reasonable penalty shout late on, when Akinde might have been judged to have fouled a Tranmere player in the six-yard box, but I think the referee got that one right. too.

I’ll give him 5.”

sedgleyimp: “Got the sending off right by the letter of the law although their players first yellow was a bit soft. But as with Shack at Swindon last season if you are already on a yellow as a player you really have to look at yourself first and foremost on that one so credit for that but that alone.

We should have had a penalty first half for their defenders’ handball from Harry A’s cross where although his hand wasn’t in an unnatural position, he moved it towards the ball. To be completely fair though the linesman on the Selenity side had what must have been a far better view of it than the referee and he gave him no help on it.

Second half Harry A has shoved their player in the box. That’s a clear penalty. Now the only reason I can think that he didn’t give it was that he knows the one he gave against us in the Bristol Rovers match was an almighty cock-up so he’s evened up for it. That though is not how to referee matches on a balanced and impartial way.

Otherwise seemed to blow for everything and anything for 10-minute spells in the game following that by giving nothing for the next ten. Very frustrating for both teams.

So I’ll go 3/10 for not running scared of the red card which he could have done but generally not good at all. Thankfully the lino on the Co-op side was up with play otherwise I don’t think he would have given Akinde’s goal either.”

kettrin imp: “Poor from start to finish. Nothing more than we expected though. Got the sending off spot on. A generous 4 from me.”
