Glad that Lincoln won although the game had shades of our match with Blackpool about it. Sunderland had some chances (especially as Lincoln tired towards the end - that second goal was a bonus for them) and aren’t out of the tie yet.
It’s better keeping Sunderland down over either Blackpool or Lincoln. They’re always going to pack our away end whether it’s a Tuesday night or a Saturday KO. They’re a big club and a money maker. Plus, they’re the new Luton Outlaws when it comes to righteous anger and we can all laugh at that.

And repeat.
