Lawrence Vigouroux – 6

Did not have much to do apart from pick the ball out of the net twice. Not much he could have done about either goal thanks to a huge deflection and a piece of quality.

Kyle Knoyle – 6

Barely noticed the right-back once again. He continues to churn out consistent performances and was not at blame for either goal.

Dion Conroy – 5.5

Looked far more comfortable back in defence after the ill-fated defensive-midfield role. Wellens criticised him for inadvertently setting up the second Lincoln goal.

Luke Woolfenden – 6

Battled with Akinde well and held his own. Hopefully he can build a partnership with Conroy and continue to take the lead at the back.

Matt Taylor – 5

Feels like he’s on the pitch for set pieces now as the ex-Premier League player failed to turn out a spectacular performance yet again.

Keshi Anderson – 7

Looked lively once again and played a big part in Town’s counter-attacking once Lincoln went down to nine. Tested Vickers without any real danger of a goal.

Canice Carroll – 6

Showed good distribution in his midfield berth and was much improved from last week. Put in some threatening crosses once he was moved to full-back in Wellens’ reshuffle.

James Dunne – 6

Mr Consistency anchored the midfield well and held his temper in check when things threatened to boil over. Did his job well for the most part.

Jak McCourt – 6.5

Spread the ball around well and covered every blade of grass. Has a tendency to shoot from range too often without success but nearly won it with the last kick of the game.

Kaiyne Woolery – 6

Made a number of good runs in behind and seemed to be happy enough to carry his strike partners workload. Had one good chance and should have done better.

Marc Richards – 6

Picked up better positions than the last home game and if he continues to do so, he will no doubt end up with a few more goals to his name.

Subs:

Scott Twine – 5.5

Came on to have little effect. Made a nuisance of himself and showed good work ethic.

Ali Koiki – 6

Signs of pace shown down the left wing.

Michael Doughty – 8

Made two significant contributions with the goals and he and Anderson dovetailed well to give Town more attacking impetus.
