That's what preseason friendlies are about, lots learned from that, plenty of scope for improvement but plenty of positives.

Thought Bolger looked good - might be quite a lot of weight on his shoulders this season.

Thanks to Salford for letting us have the feed, I'm pretty sure they didn't have to.

Also picked up (I think) they mentioned that for (there) games no live commentary with the games, just video replays, stats etc.
I hope that we still get Hortin, Tommo etc with our games which we cannot attend.

Some positives I thought. Look pretty secure at the back and if Sean Roughan is called upon during the season he won't let us down.
Elbouzedi had some decent runs and with a bit of extra composure just might cause L1 defenders some problems this season.
Very early doors but some nagging concerns over whether we will get enough goals I have to say. That final ball not there and when some chances were made not clinical enough. But that's what friendlies are for.

I thought he was awful in the second half! Fluffed virtually everything he did- was hoping he was a trialist but .....Early days though so shouldn’t be too unkind.

I was just pleased to watch Lincoln play football! Last 20 minutes of the first half was a good glimpse into what we are looking to do I think. The game did the job and clearly we have a lot of rusty players so hopefully in a couple of weeks time our touch and passes will be a lot sharper and we will start to see what the aim is with this team.

I think our next one against Leicester is at the training ground so not sure how feasible that will be. Might be one of the youth team lads running up and down the lines carrying a mobile phone

I thought Roughan was impressive for a 17 year old. Did not look out of place at all. Good patches from Eyoma and Montsma. Midfield was disappointing. Ross looked solid and some decent kicking. Hopper got in good positions but was wasteful. Elbouzedi was good first half but not so good in the second. Typical, that I said that Scully would be the star this season and there is no glimpse.

Pretty much agree with all of this. Missed Scully and definitely 1 experienced striker short to complement or challenge Hopper.

no scully, lewis or the possibly left footed Walsh ))) So a bit more to add there.
Very impressed with the left back, especially if he is 17 and that is his first pro game. Also liked the look of Eyoma, and Edun is good when he can get the ball down and pass.
generally the youth players looked a bit closer to first 11 than in past seasons, especially in terms of physical strength. Uti
