Tom Heaton 5

Positioning not the best for the goal. Aside from that he didn’t have a shot to save.

Tendayi Darikwa 6 (Man of the Match)

One of the few bright spots of the game. Good run to set up Barton chance in the first half when he showed a smart turn of pace to reach the byline. Linked up well with Arfield in second half to tee up Gray for chance he scuffed.

Michael Keane 5

Had a pretty quiet game with Tarkowski the busier man. Was closest man to Raggett for goal though.

James Tarkowski 5

Seemed to be targeted by Rhead when the Imps went long. Had a shaky spell in the second half when he was rattled by Lincoln’s approach.

Jon Flanagan 3

A shadow of the player he was three years ago. Probably needs a run of games but his first touch and use of the ball was awful.

Lancashire Telegraph:

Johann Berg Gudmundsson 5

Only lasted 20 minutes before his injury so difficult to judge his display. Couldn’t have done any worse though.

Joey Barton 3

Tried to force the issue for Burnley but passing was loose and he got drawn into needless battles. Unusual to see in Burnley shirt.

Ashley Westwood 5

A contrast to Barton. Tried to steady the game and calm it down, but the hectic nature of it passed him by.

Scott Arfield 4

Wasted a couple of chances with wild slashes at goal which summed up a below par display.

Lancashire Telegraph:

Andre Gray 4

Has improved link-up play this season but his touch and passing on Saturday were miles off. Missed a couple of good chances.

Sam Vokes 4

Like many others he started the game slowly with some loose touches. Might have made a difference defensively for goal.
