Alex Neil reacts to 'missed opportunity' as Sunderland are held at Lincoln

And instead they had to settle for a single point on a day when they could have taken advantage as play-off rivals including Sheffield Wednesday, Wycombe Wanderers, and Oxford United also dropped points. "It's a strange one," said Neil.

"If you look at the performance as a whole, it certainly deserved to win the match comfortably in my opinion. I thought it was a really good performance and we created more than enough chances to win.
