Danny Cowley: 'Major decisions went against Lincoln City'

Danny Cowley has claimed that Lincoln City were hard done by due to "three major decisions" going against them in the 2-2 draw with Notts County.

The Magpies had taken the lead through Jon Stead’s header in the 35th minute, which led to Cowley being sent to the stands for protesting a foul in the build-up.

Lee Frecklington and Matt Green then scored to put the Imps ahead, only for Jorge Grant to salvage a point midway through the second half.

“Overall, I’m disappointed [to draw],” Cowley told Lincolnshire Live. “It took us 30 minutes to get going but from minute 30 to 90 we were really good.

“Three major decisions went against us and they were game changers. For the first goal, there was a foul on Sam Habergham which he [the referee] didn’t see.

“Credit to players because the way they responded was excellent. After that we created lots of chances and we’re disappointed we haven’t won the game. We feel it is two points dropped.

“I must say that was a hard game to referee, I respect that, but I was disappointed with three decisions that went against us.

“The first goal was a clear foul, then Matt Rhead was flattened at the back post.

“Then Michael Bostwick gets in a great header and their boy lifts his hand and it clearly hits him on the arm. Those decisions didn’t go for us but I think referees need a bit more help.”
