Wickens 6.5 not a lot to do, couldn't do much with the goal
Darikwa 7.5 the energy and leading by example was certainly there once again. Might be a more important part of the team than some have suggested again!
Hamer 7.5 not quite as aerially dominant as last season but good
Elerewe 8.5 my motm, best I've seen him play. Didn't put a foot wrong or miss a header.
Reach 7 a few times maybe slightly unsure defensively but good on the ball.
Jefferies 7.5 energetic performance and great finish on the counter. Slightly faded second half
McGrandles 7 solid, tidy performance
Varfolomeev 8 looks like he will make the step up well to me! Great delivery, scrappy
House 8 very good off the ball as usual and threatened going forward including the goal!
Street 7 little bit quiet and the chances seemed to fall elsewhere but worked hard up there with fred
Draper 8 huge nuisance value, picked the perfect pass to win the game. Later in the game a few times maybe slightly over complicating it when played into feet and we just needed him to hold it. But looks a handful against Championship cbs

Towler 6.5 felt a tiny bit nervous that we went 5 at the back too early but he didn't put a foot wrong.
 
Wickens 7.5

House 8
Street 8
Draper 8.5

Towler 7.5


All absolutely gave 100%. Deji edges the mom award for me from Ivan, Conor Mc, Reach and Freddie.
 
A continuation of last season with a very 25-26 Lincoln performance.l with all showing they should be able to perform at the higher level.

Wickens 6.5 - well protected, not a huge amount to do. Could do nothing about their worldie goal.
Darikwa 7.5 - kept a tricky wide player relatively quiet.
Hamer 7.5 - resolute defending, one late charge forward showed confidence in himself and team.
Elerewe 8.5 - strong defending, showed pace too when needed and will surely continue to improve.
Reach 7.5 - showed experience and effectiveness.
Jefferies 7.5 - took goal beautifully, faded 2nd half before subbed. Contributed energy and skill.
McGrandles 8 - carried on where he left off last season.
Varfolomeev 8 - great midfield work, Championship quality.
House 8 - clever finish for early goal, could have had a hat trick? Usual intense pressing, usual booking..
Street 7.5 - quieter on the ball but disciplined part of team organisation off it.
Draper 8.5 - two superb through balls including an assist. Won corner for first goal. Persistent pain in the arse for defenders throughout. All you'd want from a forward.

Towler 7 - helped see game out, one perfectly timed crunching tackle stood out.
 
Wickens 6.5 looked a bit nervous to me . No fault with goal. But did flap badly at cross in second half. Hopefully will settle back to last seasons form
Darikwa 7.5 usual dependable performance.
Hamer 7.5 as Darlkwa.
Elerewe 9 immense. another brilliant piece of work by recruitment team.
Reach 8 love the guys enthusiasm.
Jefferies 7.5 great finish for goal but faded out of game second half.
Mcgrandles 8 worked so hard.
Varfolomeev 8 becoming a real midfield enforcer.
House 8 great finish and frightened them to death with his pressing.
Street 7.5 worked so hard for the team.
Draper 8 played against some highly rated centre backs and gave them a torrid time. But showed he has skill as well with perfectly weighted ball for Jefferies goal.
Towler 7.5 slotted in well and did a good job.

Wickens 6
Little chance with the worldie, flapped at a couple of crosses and made one regulation block save.
Darikwa 7
Typical terrier performance
Hamer 7.5
unsung, unflappable, under rated but so consistently good
Deji. 8.5.
Didn’t put a foot or head wrong, very impressive .
Reach 7
Quality left peg gave us balance across the pitch.
McGranny 8
See Hamer
Ivan 8
Best game in a City shirt, was everywhere. Anticipation to danger is one of his great assets.
Jeffries 7.5
Superb finish and reliable throughout
House 7
Ratted about all game with his high pressing. Neat flicked goal but set up their goal with a weak cleared header.
Draper 8
A battering ram with a touch of class. Quality assist for Jeffries goal.
Street 7.5.
Looks fit and energetic, looked good with Draper in a front two.

Towler 7. Slotted into his usual role well and did the job to perfection
 
Wickens 7. No chance with the goal. Generally solid and distribution good

Darikwa 7. Proper leader
Elerewe 8.5. Comfortably his best game in an Imps shirt
Hamer 7.5. Underrated.
Reach 8.5. Excellent in defence and going forward

McGrandles 7.5. Carried on where he left off. Mr Consistent
Varfolomeev 8. Seemed to be everywhere
Jefferies 7.5. Took his goal very well. Another underrated player
House 7. poor header for their goal but worked so hard

Street 7. Good all round performance without threatening a goal
Draper 7.5. Excellent pass for the second goal, gave the defence a hard time

Towler 7. Solid
 
Wickens. 6 Nothing really to do. Despite others claims, he had little chance with the worldy. It was a jaw dropping hit from he who will not be named.
Darikwa. 7.5 He was everywhere.
Elewere. 8. The star man for me. Not bad for a stand in. He gives more pace to the back line also.
Hamer. 7. Under the radar but so reliable.
Reach. 7. A touch of class. Makes room for himself in the heat of battle.
McGrandles. 7.5. What we have come to expect. A very important header which set up Fred who set up DJ.
Varfolomeev. 8. Lives up to his song which I can't get out of my head. A mature performance. Enjoy him whilst you can imps as he is upwards bound.
Jefferies. 7. Underrated. A lovely finish.
House. 7.5. The press monster was back. I would have given him 8 but for his poor defensive header. He gave the Derby defence nightmares.
Draper. 7.5. None of the central defenders looked comfortable against him. A classy through ball for the all important second goal. Still gives too many fouls away and he sometimes does not jump for headers.
Street. 7.5. Worked his socks off.

Towler. 6.5. A good contribution which allowed Tendayi to bomb forward.
