Improvement needed against Lincoln

A big improvement is needed against Lincoln City at Sincil Bank/the LNER stadium tomorrow say CAS Trust in their preview, classifying the performance against Doncaster as 'the most dispiriting under Lee Bowyer's management': https://www.castrust.org/2020/09/lincoln-time-to-restore-some-pride/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lincoln-time-to-restore-some-pride

Despite the boost given by the takeover, it has only been possible to minimally strengthen the squad so far.  One crumb of comfort is that we have a good record against the Imps.

The Imps finished 16th in League One last season and Four Four Two are predicting a 10th place this season.  They comment: 'Expect more from the Imps this season.  Michael Appleton made do with a squad to play very differently from his own way and just as he toiled at Oxford before winning promotion in the second campaign, he should give Lincoln an edge.'

The contributor of the 'fan file' says: 'The fans' opinion of the gaffer is split, although the bigger group are firmly behind him.  He's very different to Danny Cowley and some have trouble accepting that era is over.  We'll finish 15th.'

Busy ex-West Ham forward Anthony Scully is a potential danger man.
