James Trafford - 7
Made key stop from John Marquis in first half to preserve deadlock. Confident with goalkeeping decisions and good with distribution. Taken by surprise perhaps with Lincoln goal getting a deflection.
Gethin Jones - 6
Struggled at times on the right of the back three and was fortunate to not have been culpable for Lincoln scoring in first half. Could have cleared lines before Cohen Bramall scored equaliser.
Will Aimson - 7.5
Came back into the side in place of the absent Ricardo Almeida Santos and lined up in the middle of back three. Filled void very well and kept the likes of John Marquis very quiet and made several decent challenges. Unfortunate deflection took ball away from Trafford for equaliser.
George Johnston - 7.5
Didn't get as forward as much as previously seen in the first half but did so more after the break and in the right place to capitalise and net key opening goal. Fairly solid defensively too.
Marlon Fossey - 7.5
Main threat down the right flank for Wanderers and gave the Imps defence a hard time to try and keep him quiet throughout the encounter.
Aaron Morley - 7.5
Generally solid in possession from the former Rochdale man and put in dangerous corner which led to opening goal on the evening.
MJ Williams - 6.5
Returned to starting XI after being unused substitute vs AFC Wimbledon but looked off the pace at times. Improved as the encounter wore on.
Declan John - 6.5
Had some joy down the left flank in the first half and had been having a half decent game, but was taken off at half-time.
Dapo Afolayan - 6.5
Number 10 role once again for top scorer and had moments in encounter but did not have as much impact as recent matches. Taken off with around 15 minutes of normal time left.
Jon Dadi Bodvarsson - 6
Some good hold up play at times to bring other team mates into encounter but ultimately was not his evening. Taken off before the hour mark.
Dion Charles - 7
Hard work in the final third to chase the ball down but was feeding on scraps in the first half. Had more joy after the break and forced Josh Griffiths into superb save.
Substitutes:
Kieran Sadlier - 7
Went to the left wing-back slot but didn't have a great deal of impact from that position, as such, but was in the right place to fire home key second goal.
Amadou Bakayoko - 7
Added some extra energy in the final third and was booked not long after coming on, but made impact with crucial third goal on the night to continue rich vein of form.
Kyle Dempsey - 7
Given 15 minutes to make impact and did so, putting in the cross for a key Bakayoko goal which provided breathing space.
