Paul Jewell writes: It was another frustrating evening for us.

The first half was like watching paint dry although in the second half I thought we did alright. And with a little bit more luck we could have won the game.

I believe we need to get our noses in front in a game if we are to get our season up and running.

We look to be a bit uptight and seem apprehensive when on the ball. We must try and lose that.

But after going a goal down, the lads do deserve credit for the way they fought back.

It would have been a travesty if we had lost.

Lincoln have their own way of playing and, credit to them, they stick to it.

But in the first half we failed to battle with them.

I was pleased with the reaction of Darren Moore and Andy O'Brien.

On Saturday I was critical of them in the dressing room but they responded in exactly the right manner against Lincoln.

It was always going to be tough but they battled hard.
