Lincoln United dropped more UniBond League Division One (South) points when they lost 2-1 at home to Loughborough Dynamo on Saturday.

The Whites took the lead in the third minute through midfielder Matt O'Halloran but Dynamo equalised in the 38th minute through Neil Morgan's penalty.

The visitors grabbed the winner with eight minutes remaining after substitute Carl Adams found a route through the United defence and slotted home.

"We were untidy with the ball and did not pass it crisply," said manager John Wilkinson.

"The system we employed in the first half was stretched to the limit but we sorted that out at half-time.

"In the second half, I thought we had enough chances to do a bit better than we did."

Wilkinson disputed the award of Loughbrough's penalty.

"I don't think they (Loughborough) were the best," added the Ashby Avenue boss.

"The penalty was never a penalty, Jonty Hawley had his back to the ball and it hit his arm, nothing more.

Dynamo won the penalty and they scored it.

"That was just another chance. I don't try and look at officials because I think you have to look beyond them.

"We had a nailed on penalty in the second half, some days you get them, some days you don't."

One plus for United was the performance of the youngsters who were thrown into the mix to try and change the game in the closing stages.

"They didn't get long because I thought it was difficult to change it," added Wilkinson.

"That was true in the second half particularly because everyone was doing their jobs.

"Kallum Smith, I thought, had an excellent second half.

"He was a real threat and we hit the woodwork twice.

"Sean Cann had a great chance in the last minute, set up by Sean Wright, who got six minutes of first-team football and did really well.

"Chris Funnell came on and almost slotted away a great chance and it would have been great for the youngsters if they could have affected the result because I felt, over the 90 minutes, we deserved a point."
