Lincoln City 1-1 Sheffield Wednesday

Last updated on 5 hours ago5 hours ago.From the section League Onecomments41 Promotion-chasing Sheffield Wednesday were held to a draw by Lincoln in League One. The Owls took an early lead as Lee Gregory fired the visitors in front after just seven minutes but Daniel Mandroiu's first league goal for the Imps secured them a share of the spoils. Gregory pounced on a mistake by keeper Carl Rushworth to give the South Yorkshire side the lead after his clearance went straight to the number nine. At the other end, David Stockdale pushed Ben House's fiercely-struck effort wide. Defender Ben Heneghan was denied a first Owls goal by the post after he got on the end of Barry Bannan's teasing free-kick. The Imps struck immediately after the break as Mandroiu poked home after being slipped in by House. Paudie O'Connor did well to clear Bannan's effort off the line five minutes later. Both sides pushed for a late winner but failed to find a decisive moment as the points were split. Report supplied by PA Media.Line-upsMatch StatsLive Text

22:41Surely if Lincoln can get a point against Sheffield Wednesday who will win promotion this season, surely that must mean the return of Lincoln biscuits
Ya know what I mean !00S

20:55Thought we were superb first half-strong tackles at back, great possession. Could and should have been out of sight.
Thought Stockdale should have saved goal.
Scrappier in second half but still looked as though we would win it.
Smith needs better crosses. Cant win every away game. Squad good- no need to panic.31M

20:36Thought this one was a bit dodgy they are a decent side unbeaten at home but we weren't at the races today despite the early goal.Bristol on Wednesday will not be easy either.10O

19:46Bit disappointing after taking such an early lead, but Lincoln are no mugs and will give many teams a hard time. In the end though it is another point gained, but scoring goals is becoming a bit of a problem, so many shots today, so few on target.
That needs sorting out smartish.

Two home games coming up, 6 points required to keep the momentum up.

Stiffen the sinews Wednesday, promotion beckons.71M

Sunderland have scrapped their way out of it. Wednesday still have a way to go.00J

17:31Got up at the crack of dawn ready for our big day and I just knew the boys would do it for us. A draw!!! No idea how we pulled it off but what a result against a true giant of the game. Fair play t' Wednesday fans tho, they packed aht that away end and most of our home section an all. Definitely lived up to their reputation as the most liked club in English football. Fact.

17:17I think the owls could miss out on automatic promotion because they don't score enough goals when they are on top. Despite dominating possession in the first half they never forced the Imps keeper into a save, the goal was even a Lincoln mistake. Smith is so far not showing the form we hoped for and Johnson might as well stand with the fans for all the impact he has on the game.91D

17:16We were very poor today against very poor opposition.
Too many of our players were shocking and we were dreadful in the final 3rd.
Does Darren Moore work on crossing and finishing because we are clueless in that department.
We signed a goal machine in Smith and the service to him is pathetic!82M

Better teams than Wednesday have struggled to score against the Imps this season.62More replies (4)downR
