Christopher Pollard has been the man in the middle for two matches involving Lincoln City:

He received an average rating of 4.63 following the 4-3 defeat away at Accrington Stanley last season. Some of the comments can be found below:
sedgleyimp: “4/10 for me. Did try and make allowances for the weather but also missed some things which shouldn’t have been allowed to continue such as the foul on Hesketh ( ankle was taken) which resulted in the delay for his shoulder injury. I’m also certain he saw their attacker have a little kick out at Bolger on our side of the touchline but decided to ignore it. He was looking straight at it. The penalty I really need to see again but looked soft.”
Scotimp: “5/10. Gave a number of decisions the wrong way (for both sides) and seemed to dominate the linesmen, who only raised their flags once the ref had made his decision. As Sedgley says, I think he did see the kick by the Accrington player (I think it was Diallo) but chose to ignore it. That was a bit strange if so.
PerthImp: “4.5 – not overly impressed. I think last time my view was that he was overly fussy about the wrong things and didn’t seem greatly different this time. Very inconsistent with FKs and bookings.”
