Views from PerthImp following Saturday’s 0-0 draw away at Portsmouth in League One: “What an amazing team performance. Pompey lacked a bit of quality but you have to say the Lincoln defence played magnificently for a full 98 minutes. Every Imps player gave their all and thoroughly deserved the point. Almost impossible to pick a MoM. Poole, O’Connor, and Robson (best game so far) all played superbly but I’d give it to Rushworth marginally. I think he was superb throughout and gives the defence so much confidence. Think we have a real gem there.”

sedgleyimp: “I’m sure some will point to the lack of shots on target but sometimes you just have to grind out a really good point from a long journey. Players will be boosted by that. Can’t comment on the actual performance but if we become much harder to beat that’s half the job done.”
hulloutpost: “Feels like an important point that, especially after the 8 minutes added on. Clean sheet, the sort of battling result that players and fans can unify off the back of and build confidence from. Sounds like it was pragmatism over aesthetics but I don’t care – brilliant.”
Luke Imp: “Excellent result all things considered. I think that’s a game we go into last season and more the likely try and play our normal way despite being depleted and limp to a 2-0 defeat or something.
There’s no harm in being a little more pragmatic and deviating away from the ideal. I’m all for being solid and nicking a point, or even three, like that if needed.”
