"When Lincoln City were casting around for a new head coach back in late 2023 the name Michael Skubala may not have been at the top of everyone's list but, a win over Doncaster on Saturday (15:00 GMT) will take him to the top of something even more important, the League One table. The former PE teacher had a brief spell as caretaker boss of Leeds United, eventually becoming Javi Gracia's first-team coach before Lincoln came calling."
"The pumpkins are firmly in the compost, the last firework has fizzled out and it is the final international break before Christmas. So, while countries scrap it out for those remaining automatic World Cup spots or a place in the play-offs, League One and League Two can take some of the spotlight. We could have new leaders in the third tier while in League Two an old face rolls into Milton Keynes."
The final international break before Christmas shifts focus to League One and League Two fixtures across the EFL. Lincoln City can move to the top of League One with a victory over Doncaster; Michael Skubala progressed from PE teacher to Leeds caretaker and first-team coach before taking charge at Lincoln. A two-goal win would elevate Lincoln from sixth to first, while Doncaster arrive with two points from their last nine games. Matt Hamshaw returned to manage his hometown club Rotherham after a lockdown quiz project, but a strong late run last season contrasts with six defeats across the opening nine matches this term.
