But before any ladies out there beat a path t my door, I have to say this game was far more entertaining than a minute in the sack with me.
My clipping from this morning's copy of The Sun
The Sun’s football website: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football
A cross from skipper Gareth Ainsworth was nodded on to the inside of the near post by striker Stuart Beacon and winger Betsy had the easiest of tasks to tuck away his second goal in two games and four for the season.
It took the Imps until the 21st minute to respond, but the thing that will have pleased new boss Steve Tilson is that they didn’t let their heads drop.
Gambia-born winger Mustapha Carayol collected a sublime, long, cross field pass from midfielder Clark Keltie - that left Wycombe’s defence on the back foot – and cut in from the left into the area before unleashing an unstoppable shot for his first goal since the season opener against Rotherham.
Seven minutes before the break, Reading man Scott Davies put the home side ahead again with a curling shot from the edge of the box. Davies, 22, is in his second spell on loan with the Chairboys and this was the busy midfielder’s first league goal of the campaign.
In the second half the Imps had opportunities to add to their score.
Carayol fired wide from about twenty yards and had a cross cleared off the line by full back Danny Foster and Lincoln keeper Joe Anyon bravely threw himself at Ben Hutchinson’s feet as the striker bore down on goal.
In the 69th minute though Hutchinson was rewarded for his efforts with his 3rd of the season and a share of the points.
Co-striker Drewe Broughton nodded the ball down and Hutchinson – on loan from Celtic – swept the ball home.
I had seen Hutchinson turn out for Swindon a few times last season and afterwards he told me:
“I signed for Celtic when I was 20 and even played against Manchester United when I came on in a Champions League game. In all I turned out four times from them in front of 60,000 people and I was probably too young to handle it at the time. Mind you I wouldn’t swap the experience for anything – it’s a great club. I’m maturing more as a player now and enjoying my football at Lincoln.”
More quotes from this game to come later today and tomorrow.
