My take aways from Lincoln:
- Enzo needs proper side line time.
- Garnacho likes falling over.
- Tyrique should be no one's scapegoat.
- Jorgensen was dire.
- Santos & Fofana were decent & need more 1st team action.

#LincolnCityFC exposed Chelsea's woeful defence, but just fell short. The Imps can be immensely proud as they pushed #CFC all the way. Big problems for Maresca though. #LINCHE #EFLCup
FT #LincolnCityFC 1-2 #CFC I George and Buonanotte spare Chelsea's blushes as the Blues sneak through #LINCHE #EFLCup
#LincolnCityFC couldn't find an equaliser. Much better at the back for #CFC as they win the freekick #LINCHE #EFLCup
Maresca’s half-time team talk worked… for about five minutes. We’ve been very lucky with some of our antics at the back. #LINCHE #CFC
Top save from Jeacock. That has kept #LincolnCityFC in it. Not the best finish from Buonanotte, but what a ball from Neto. He brings #CFC a cutting edge with his direct runs and passing #LINCHE #EFLCup
#CFC academy graduate Mhueka comes on for George as #CFC make 3 changes, whilst #LincolnCityFC make 4. #LINCHE #EFLCup
Draper hits the sidenetting! Brilliant from #LincolnCityFC, and Draper should've tested Jorgensen. #CFC continue to look poor at the back. The home side are still up for this #LINCHE #EFLCup
Jorgensen really doesn't seem confident coming for the ball. He puts #CFC bang in trouble, but #LincolnCityFC can't make anything of it #LINCHE #EFLCup
It appears that he might not have to, but the anonymous Garnacho is replaced by Estêvão #LINCHE #EFLCup
Again, though, #CFC look vulnerable at the back. Chalobah does what a good defender must though: clears the ball. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one #LINCHE #EFLCup
Maybe the mental pressure of leading against a side with the quality that #CFC have just got to #LincolnCityFC. It was a soft goal to concede, in actuality. #LINCHE #EFLCup
George was instrumental again. That's surely it now. No way back for #LincolnCityFC. #CFC have started with the urgency that they badly lacked in the first-half #LINCHE #EFLCup
Heartbreak for #LincolnCityFC as Buonanotte basically walks it in #LINCHE #EFLCup
And it's a goal from a player who was perilously close to moving to #FFC over the summer #LINCHE #EFLCup
Heartbreaking for #LincolnCityFC. How will they respond to that bitter blow? #LINCHE #EFLCup
