Belshaw 4 Defence took away his usual confidence, even so, if teams had swapped keepers Rovers would have won.

Hoole 3 Exposed, and square peg
Whelan 2 Exposed, square peg, and too slow.
Gordon 4 Best of the back 3

Anderson 2 Lincolns first goal reminded me of the Mansfield relegation goal, he didn't track back
Evans 3 Unlucky with the free kick. But out of form.
Finley 5 Rovers created a lot of chances due to his hard work
McCormick 5 Should have scored in the first minute. Should have fallen over when pushed in the penalty area, Should have scored late in the game.
Clarke 4 Didn't leave defence as exposed as Anderson

Collins 8 Rovers scored enough to win most games
Loft 7 Unlucky not to geta hat trick. Beginning to remind me of Alan Warboys

Subs: Saunders 5 Improved the team
Coutts 6 Improved the team
Marquis 3 No significant contribution
Jasper 5 Should have got a penalty

Ref 3 missed two stone wall penalties for Rovers, much more blatant than the one he gave imps.
Lincoln 6 No better than Rovers, but that's football

JB 2 Wingbacks and a slow midfielder in aback 3

In that sort of mood!

Belshaw 3 worried. After m o m performance, he could have done better with near post efforts. Maybe needs a rest?

Hoole 3 Wales call up!? After yesterday's performance if I could wish him anywhere, wales would be in contention..
Whelan 3 not his fault he's not a central defender.
Gordon 3 the jilted John version.

Anderson 3 exposed and poor.
Evans 3 twice hit of post now. Not much else.
Finley 6 got stuck in and some nice link play.
McCormick 6 played aaza and Loft in.
Clarke 6 decent for a sacked bloke.

Collins 9 m o m unplayable, could easily have had hat trick.(3+6=)
Loft 6 ok first time he didn't finish from being put clean through but he had 3 very good, clear cut chances and on another day could have scored hat trick.

Subs: Saunders 3 nope.
Coutts 6 should have been on earlier.
Marquis 3 still don't understand his inclusion?
Jasper 6 finding his feet, we need his pace as options for longer in matches.

Ref 3 some seriously bizarre decisions. Inconsistent.
Lincoln 4.5 (6 for attack +3 for defence)÷2=) they were as poor in defence as us but their keeps made some good saves and some last ditch defending meant we could have equalled them if we had finished better! They'll be a middling team this season and if we end up a place or two within them, that looks to be fair with our developing squad atm imo.

Belshaw his form has dipped as the players in front cause jitters 5

Hoole needs a break, but we have few options. A fullback learning his trade not strong enough or competitive enough for CB 3
Whelan his pace was always going to be an issue but his passing was a real let down 3
Gordon not yet ready for this level of football a great debut now tailing off. 3

Anderson a poor game where his competitive instinct could not make up for his poor footballing skills. 4
Evans corners were poor and needed to much time, the free kick thou reminds us he is still worth a place and will regain form 5
Finley battled hard but in the end was a ticking time bomb. A lot didn't come off today 5
McCormick need to be patient he will come good, thrives in a struggling team a quality we may need 5
Clarke more dangerous in attack then most but not a final ball out to prove Joey wrong, but can he defend. 6

Collins Great finishes always looking for a third 8
Loft fantastic goal but missed two sitters. His height means he should be winning far more in the air 7

Subs:
Saunders aimless 4
Coutts tighten things up but hard not to. Too many over hit passes but one cracker to feed in collins. 5
Marquis showless 3
Jaspar fullback seemed untroubled 4


Ref poor penalty but his contribution was not our issue 5
Lincoln didnt need to do much to score 6 but it could have been worse if they had defended better 6
