Fagan scores first City goal

Chris Fagan scored his first goal for Lincoln City at Boston United, but it was unfortunately another frustrating night as the Unibond Premier side equalised before the half time interval through Marc Newsham's penalty.

Fagan became the first player to score for the Imps this season as he unleashed a beautiful volley just two minutes into the game, although it was an easy chance as it was an open goal. City generally bossed the game after this but couldn't really produce another goal and Boston had a penalty when Cullingworth was brought down my Miller, Newsham slotting away the spot kick.

Oakes hit the post from 25 yards in the second half before trailists Connor and Gladwell both came close to giving their chances of a permanent deal no harm at all.

So not the best result but not the worst. It is a bit worrying that we haven't won during pre-season so far but how many times have we had really good pre-seasons and then flopped?

City's next friendly will see Sleaford Town come to Sincil Bank on Sunday afternoon.

May it be the first of many; glad I didn't bother making the trip to Boscum though!

I wasn't there either, no-one covered my shift at work so didn't really have a choice. Oh well.

Good Luck, Mr Gorsky

I think it's embaressing that we can't put chances away against teams that are playing at a much lower level than we are.

Boston should be smashed out of sight.

have seen us lose to boston,grantham, gainsborough and lincoln utd in friendlies over years so wouldn't get too worry just yet.
One of the worst was at home Grantham just before 02/03 we lost 2 1 or 3 1 I think it was.
The Grantham captain at the time Brendan McDaid told me we would be relegated with standard of player we had signed... we got to the playoff final!
In particular he singled out Futcher claiming he was hopeless and not a league player at all... out top scorer that season!
3 weeks to go and plenty of work to by the sounds of it.. we will see.
