The Seasiders conceded two penalties and saw Ollie Norburn sent off in the disappointing away display.
Neil Critchley’s side have now gone four games without scoring.
Lincoln took the lead in the eighth minute, with Danny Mandroiu converting from the spot after a clumsy challenge from Marvin Ekpiteta.
The defence struggled in the first half but looked slightly stronger after the break. Casey was solid enough at the back once again for the Seasiders. (Photo: CameraSport - David Horton)
Ahead of the break, the Imps doubled their advantage.
Ethan Erhahon made a driving run forward before releasing a shot into the top corner from the edge of the box.
During the break, Critchley made three changes to his team, with Ekpiteta, Kenny Dougall and Jake Beesley making way for Andy Lyons, Sonny Carey and Owen Dale.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t find their way back into the match and conceded a third 73rd minute.
It was a silly challenge from the centre back to concede the penalty, with the tackle almost happening in slow motion. There was no need to go in like that, and it put the Seasiders on the back foot. Along with two of his other teammates, Ekpiteta was subbed at half time. (Photo: CameraSport - Chris Vaughan)
Norburn was shown a red for his challenge, moments after his first, while Teddy Bishop slotted past Dan Grimshaw.
Here is how the Seasiders performed:
Like Casey, Husband looked solid in periods, but it was an overall poor day for the defence. (Photo: CameraSport - David Horton)
Hamilton did produce some bright moments going forward, but once again his final product wasn't good enough. (Photo: CameraSport - David Horton)
Dougall was among the three subbed off at half time following a difficult opening 45 minutes. (Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Vaughan)
It was a frustrating afternoon for the midfield, who failed to take control. Norburn was shown a straight red in the 72nd minute for stopping a clear goal-scoring opportunity. (Photo: CameraSport - Chris Vaughan)
Like the other players in midfield, Morgan struggled throughout the game. He was replaced by Jensen Weir in the 80th minute with the game firmly over. (Photo: CameraSport - Chris Vaughan)
Connolly had an early chance to open the scoring, but fired the ball over the bar; when he should’ve hit the target. (Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth)
Beesley didn't really offer anything up front in the first half and found himself subbed at the break. (Photo: CameraSport - David Horton)
Shayne Lavery departed the action in the 26th minute and headed straight down the tunnel. (Photo: CameraSport - David Horton)
Rhodes was introduced in the 26th minute, and ad his moments, forcing a good save from Lukas Jensen just after the half hour mark. He showed willingness to work hard at both ends of the field but nothing came off for him. (Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Vaughan)
Sonny Carey looked bright for a period after coming on, and forced a rare save from Lukas Jensen. (Photo: CameraSport - David Horton)
Owen Dale was one of the players who came on in the second half but couldn't really make an impact. (Photo: CameraSport - David Horton)
Like the other subs, it was a similar story for Lyons. Meanwhile, Jensen Weir was introduced in the latter stages. (Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker)
