Preview: Grimsby v Lincoln

The Opposition

Could this really be happening, could Lincoln be bored of the play-offs already? God knows why they usually enjoy them as well. One place behind us in the league they've been able to hall their keisters off bottom and out of the relegation zone, knowing a 3-0 win will help them climb above us and onward to the play-offs like a stuttering space shuttle heading to Mars or at least Manby. Since the emotional scenes at Bradford on Boxing day where Lincoln just missed out on a point for their endeavours supporters of the Imps can find hope in a team starting to spit and show some fire after a shocking start to the season. The departure of Schofield and the arrival of Jackson (left) has ignited a mini revival at Sincil Bank with 3 wins in 4 in the league only to see the run crushed by Darlington 4-0 last week.

Head to Head

Lincoln are Town's earliest adversaries of all, pre-dating Town's entrance into the Football League which City helped to engineer late in the 19th century. Town have the overall edge against the Imps, and are especially strong historically at Blundell Park.
