Why do I get the feeling that this was a fixture Lincoln didn't actually feel able to fulfil, but did not want to let Boston down on a relatively big day for them?
In reality, six of next season's first team played 45 minutes each in this game.
Therefore, one question for the usual knee-jerk suspects: do you really think that three trialists who were knowingly making up the numbers, Sam Long, Freddie Draper, Mekhi Angol, Kyrell Wheatley, Max Melbourne, Max Sanders and Remy Longdon will be even remotely close to our matchday squad/starting eleven in three weeks' time?
