Game over. We won't score.
Lincoln's result was far better than Sunderland, Ipswich and Portsmouth.

We'll play better than that and lose (see last Saturday).
You couldn't argue too much at the time with those on here who said after Wigan scored that we would lose, but with plenty of time to go you got the feeling that we just needed a bit of a lucky break (like their goal was) or a moment of magic to get back in the game. And that's what happened. I'm sure if Steve Thompson had been commentating he would have said "for me, this is a free kick for a left-footer" - and of course it was, which made Grant's effort so special. Would like to see it from behind the goal, but he can't have scored a better one.
In the end, what with Walsh's effort cleared off the line, and a late effort from Scully on the left that the keeper palmed away from under the bar, we were well worth at at least the two goals.
Worrying thing was the number of poor final balls, especially in the first half - including from Grant of all people, and some disappointing performances over the 90 minutes from the likes of Johnson and Scully.
Others probably won't agree but over the 90 minutes I rated Gotts the best player - he seems to be growing into that position, although again he wasn't really tested defensively. Montsma by his standards I thought had a fairly average game, in fact I thought Jackson was the best centre back for us tonight.
Second to Gotts I thought Hopper was our best player overall, didn't do much wrong and scored the winning goal.
Strange result but all leagues can throw up these kind of results . No easy gamePlymouth 0 Rochdale 4. Nice to see the 'dale get the goals out of their system before Saturday
I agree, Gotts was MOM tonight. However, he is able to play more like a midfielder against the poor teams because they do not attack him as a straight defender - the better teams will. I still don't like him as a right-back, although he may well grow into the position the more he plays. No doubt he has ability, though.Others probably won't agree but over the 90 minutes I rated Gotts the best player - he seems to be growing into that position, although again he wasn't really tested defensively.
Was thinking how many places between us and Scunthorpe, Grimsby, Mansfield, Notts County & Chesterfield to name a fewAnd Mansfield drop into the bottom two. Penny will not be happy.
Even Wigan - they were three divisions higher than us as recently as 2016-17, but could be two divisions below us this time next year. Football changes very quickly now.Was thinking how many places between us and Scunthorpe, Grimsby, Mansfield, Notts County & Chesterfield to name a few
