  • 25' Reece James has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 24 cards already picked up this season.

  • 35' Doncaster Rovers FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Lincoln City FC backline.
  • 40' Lincoln City FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
