Following the 1-0 defeat at home versus Premier League side West Ham United in the Third Round of the League Cup, I asked the Vital Lincoln City members to nominate who they believe was City’s Man of the Match. On this occasion, six players were nominated in the 24 hours following the thread being started. Those players were: Sean Roughan, Ethan Hamilton, Lasse Sørensen, Jack Burroughs, Lukas Jensen and Alex Mitchell. Thank you to those who voted on the poll!
Following the nominations, we opened the poll up to everyone and this is how it finished:
Here are some of the views from the nominations thread:
bonsonshead: “Burroughs for me, he has had some dodgy moments previously but thought he had an outstanding game on Wednesday.”
GlenthamImp: “Roughan for me as well, as already mentioned really made up for that early error which could have been costly early on. Showed great composure and energy to come back from this.”
Ruskingtony: “A superb team performance. But have to go for Hamilton. Played like a man possessed covering every blade of grass. Defending at one end of the pitch then twisting and turning at the other end to try and create something. Just before he took that free kick near the end he looked like he could hardly stand up. He gave everything.”
