One time Lincoln midfielder Schofield is now reaping the benefits of his work with the club’s youth team and has made a bright start to his first season as a manager, gaining 20 points from the first 24 available, and maintaining a top 4 position throughout the season so far.
Lincoln have two of the leading scorers in League Two with Jamie Forrester and Mark Stallard (left) on 13 and 7 goals respectively, and are comfortably the highest scoring side in the division. Ex-Mariner Martin Gritton has struggled to break up the Forrester-Stallard partnership and has mainly been used as a substitute, scoring two goals so far this season. Highly rated young midfielder Lee Frecklington, who has chipped in with six goals, defender Lee Beevers, goalkeeper Alan Marriott and Stallard have all started every league game this season; whilst like Town, The Imps also have three players in on loan and are likely to start with Nicky Eaden (Notts Forest), Shane Nicholson (Chesterfield) and Mathew Birley (Birmingham).

Despite the upper hand against The Imps over the years, Town have to go back to September 1957 for their last league win (excluding play-offs)at Sincil Bank, a run leading up to last season’s 5-0 hammering. P 100 W 45 D 26 L 29 F 191 A 44 Lincoln Head-to-Head (16th on The Opposition Ladder)
