From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

Adam Jackson says Lincoln City went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

A falling-out at Lincoln City

Veljko Milosavljević and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Loan watch

Deji Elerewe wants to come home

“I did not go to Plymouth Argyle to sit and watch. I want to come back to Lincoln City and fight for my place.” 3 appearances in 10 matches say the rest.

Looking ahead

The leaders are next for Lincoln City

Barnsley top the table and they are coming into view. Nothing to lose, which is what every manager says before losing.

Market

Adam Jackson told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Adam Jackson has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Lincoln City.

The dugout

No hiding place for Sonny Bradley

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sonny Bradley, and the manager let it.

The dugout

Jakov Medić knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Jakov Medić trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Mads Andersen

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Barnsley in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The dugout

Joe Gauci has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Lincoln City will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad

Veljko Milosavljević in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Lincoln City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Chiedozie Ogbene runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Appearance number 100 for George Wickens

100 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

The dugout

No hiding place for Ariel López

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ariel López, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

James Collins was the difference for Lincoln City

Marked 7.67. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Match

Lincoln City and Rotherham United take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout

Simon Cunningham on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Simon Cunningham after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Ryley Towler's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

The dugout

Tanto Olaofe does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

In brief

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

The knee: Adam Reach out for 49 days

49 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Lincoln City lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Transfer targets

Veljko Milosavljević is a medical away from Lincoln City

The deal with Bournemouth is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

Andrei Coubiş signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Andrei Coubiş and Lincoln City agree another 4 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Lincoln City

Tanto Olaofe and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Nick Oyekunle

Lincoln City asked and Southampton said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

7 new faces, and Lincoln City are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout

Andrei Coubiş knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Lincoln City, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

No hiding place for Tom Bayliss

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Tom Bayliss, and the manager let it.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Sonny Bradley

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Plymouth Argyle in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.
