"With their sights firmly set on mounting a genuine top-six charge this time around, the Imps have suffered just a single defeat from any of their first eight appearances across all competitions and the mood around Sincil Bank appears to be at a real high. However, suffering late frustration over the weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate against Mansfield, the former Leeds coach will know the importance of finding some crucial defensive stability."
"Mounting an eye-catching second-half comeback away at Tranmere over the weekend as they clinched a 2-1 victory away at Tranmere, Martin Paterson's side have now registered seven points from their previous three League Two appearances. Once again installed as a standout contender to claim another play-off ticket this year, Tuesday's guests have also found a recent clinical edge in the final third. Storming their way to a stellar 4-1 romp at home against Shrewsbury on August 20th, Notts County have bagged eight goals on their three-match unbeaten run."
Lincoln City have started the season strongly with just one defeat from eight appearances and a high mood around Sincil Bank while targeting a top-six challenge.
