Lincoln v Grimsby Preview

The Opposition

Lincoln started the 2007/2008 campaign poorly, managing just two wins before a winless streak that lasted from August 25 to November 24th. During this winless streak the Managerial team of John Schofield and John Deehan were sacked, and replaced with former Huddersfield Town manager Peter Jackson. Jackson turned things around and City were one of the form teams of the second half of 2007-2008.

This season the losing start had been repeated, with City yet to pick up anything in any of their four games to date. In fact when the two teams met at the same time last year both were in similar positions to where they are now.

New keeper Rob Burch was sought after by others, including City, while Frank Sinclair could prove a clever buy if he still has the legs.
