Pretty much the complete spectrum of our players in terms of ability!

REF WATCH

Tyne and Wear official Sebastian Stockbridge will take charge of today’s match at Sincil Bank.
Stockbridge was appointed to EFL national list in 2013.This season he has taken control of 22 games issuing 69
Yellow cards and two reds. His first OUFC match was the 1-0 win at Hartlepool in November 2015.
He also refereed the 3-2 win at Shrewsbury in March 2020 - the U’s last match before the UK locked down
due to COVID-19.

His last OUFC match was the 1-1 Carabao Cup draw at Burton in August 2021.

Let’s hope he has learned to count…

FROM THE ARCHIVES

Managers Jim Smith and Colin Murphy inspect the frozen Sincil Bank pitch in January 1984 but the game went ahead
and the sides drew 2-2.

Tough game
Going for a draw 1-1

 

[mooro]

Forget COVID, forget Wycombe, forget Sheffield, forget new strikers, forget new contracts, forget buyout clauses.....

.... this is us, away at a team with a talented and astute manager that will make it tough for us....

.....but we are a good team and with endeavour and focus we can come out on top...

...go do it boys!!!

Today’s L1 programme.

Wycombe v Sunderland is live on Sky Sports at lunchtime.
Apparently hospitality is sold out, the away end is a complete sell out and the car park is sold out too.

Difficult game, think Lincoln are better than their league position. Could do with a win today to take some of the pressure off next week's really tough game at Wycombe

 

[MC Yellow]

Going for a hard fought 1-2 win to start the next push and to maintain our unbeaten run of 2022.

Safe trip to all yellows coming up to Lincoln, let’s hope we have a good turn out.

Is ifollow available for sure? I thought there was no 3pm sat kick offs allowed

 

[unification]

It was the other way around for MApp. We were rubbish in 2014-15 and yet produced one of my favourite ever Oxford sides the season after.

The corner has to be turned for Lincoln at some point. They can’t be as bad as their position and form suggests and you’d expect them to pick up but where and when remains to be seen.

Be professional and get the job done today.

I know all teams eventually turn it around but looking at their recent form, a loss for us today would be very, very disappointing (much like it would have been against Cheltenham). Having said that I’d be slightly happier with a draw than I was against Cheltenham as we’re away from home.
