Freddie Draper

But perhaps they did.

I don't want to be too harsh on them because they had a chance early on with Freddie Draper, a header where they could've gone 1-0 up.

Just goes over.

Yeah, just, just goes over.

Seven goals scored, eight conceded, so they don't really score many or don't really give up many, although we're still so early in the season.

Their leading scorer is Freddie Draper on two goals.

They've got...

It's kind of a mix from around the entire pitch it looks like.

Rico Hackett leads with three assists, three goals and assist contributions.

He has assists.

As I mentioned, Freddie Draper is the leading goal scorer with two.

Oh, man.

I know.

It's a Freddie Draper scavenger all over.

No, it's, no, it's an Adam Reach screamer for two halves.

That's what it is.

And then his two strike partners, so to speak, is, of course, Nathan Lowe.

what can we say about Nathan Lowe that hasn't already been said and then I think to play off the right he's a striker but I think if you tell him to run and run that channel he will run and he will run that channel and that is Freddie Draper just a wrecking ball of a striker doing quite well in the championship now for Lincoln so fair play great team yeah

Yeah, it is.

And do you know what? I'd like to thank everyone for those specific questions because it was quite nice to have a look back at some different times.

He's a player who I think would have made it to double figures if it wasn't for injury last season.

I'm so pleased I get to end on Freddie Draper because he is one of my favourite Lincoln City players.

And I'm going to talk first of all about his defensive qualities.

He's 98% in the division for defensive contributions.

People don't quite understand.

We talk about how great Ben House is without the ball.

Freddie Draper this season has been almost as good.

He has been so good, but he's a target man as well.

I can't believe you.

Draper.

All right.

He should've gone Wicken's, he's the best player by a mile, keeper.

Which one's Jim's team?

This one.

Will you stop? Jim! Oh, he's got Draper in his team anyway.

He ain't got a chance.

I thought 45 minutes.

I was doing some prep for a subsequent game, but I thought Freddie Draper.

Freddie Draper?

Yeah.

From Lincoln?

twist and turn.

And actually it results in Freddie Draper being penalized for a foul because I was watching all the fouls that have been given against Freddie, because obviously we are going to talk about him on the one subject or two.

And so we do have those little moments.

And I don't want to play into this misconception that we are devoid of that match winning moment because we've got some really good footballers.

Rob Street did.

Freddie did.

Freddie did.

Um, um, uh,

I know there's been a feat quite a few.

So that's why you will see George Wickens being used as an out ball.

You know, if the ball is with, let's say, Riley Towler at left centre half, he's looking, oh, actually, you know, the opposition side have set themselves up so well.

There's not really a clear opportunity to get it over the top to a Freddie Draper, a Michael Adafoga, to whoever.
