Elliot Lee

The Luton Town loan man went off ill against Lincoln which altered Charton’s game plan at the LNER Stadium.

Adkins said: “I thought we were good for 20 minutes. Things that we worked on, in respect of trying to break the lines with Elliot Lee, get to counter attack, we had three or four good opportunities in the opening 20 minutes.

“Then Elliot has gone off ill, so we’ve adapted a little bit, put Charlie Kirk in the 10 position, changed [Jonathan] Leko and brought Corey [Blackett-Taylor] on but the game went away from us for a little bit there and we were allowing them out too easily.”
