“We huffed and puffed but did not have great quality.”
Bulman reckoned Lincoln City were reminiscent of promotion-chasing Reds under the management of Steve Evans.
He said: “It reminded me of the Crawley of old under Steve Evans; not great on the eye but we were hustling and bustling and very functional.
