We asked for the views of both sets of fans and here is a selection of what they had to say.

LINCOLN FANS

Paul - The big lesson to learn is that you have to take your chances in the Championship. Birmingham proved just that.

Nigel - Lincoln outplayed by a very good Birmingham side. The long ball tactics failed the mighty Imps. We make it hard for ourselves when we constantly gift the ball to the opposition.

Stephen - Played to their strengths, if the key moments in the match had gone our way the scoreline would have been so different. Ethan Laird should have been sent off for the high boot, Lincoln had a clear penalty refused.

Brian - If Lincoln drop down into the relegation places, they will not get out and will need new coach.

Steve - Lacking intent, width and any real idea.

BIRMINGHAM FANS

Richard - A game dominated by the long ball. First half was physical with a number of yellow cards and plenty of head tennis. Quality football was missing. Blues' centre-backs were excellent but we must get better to challenge for promotion.

Donald - Good win but keep the ball on the floor. All the best teams look to accurate passing and speed.

Patron - Well done you guys. Could be playing Villa next season with any amount of luck.

Bob - A great team performance.
