Head2Head & Team News - Lincoln City

Well, with all the off field problems and speculation this week our attentions turn to on field matters and we look to get our first win in five games against visitors Lincoln.

City arrive at Millmoor in contrast to the Millers, having won their last five matches and rising to mid table respectability after spending the early season in the relegation mire. The news of manager Peter Jackson's throat cancer may have spurred them on, and with Jackson still in charge tomorrow before he heads off on gardening leave for treatment in the near future, they will fancy their chances of inflicting further misery on Mark Robins' side.

Jackson must do without star man Lee Frecklington again though, as a recurrance of his ankle trouble against Accrington continues to keep the midfielder sidelined. Elsewhere striker Lous Dodds returns from suspension and will either partner Jamie Forrester or start from the bench.

The Millers welcome back Ian sharps from illness after he missed last weeks defeat at Wycombe. Loanee Joe Widdowson is available for his debut at left back, whilst Robins only other selection posers are which formation to opt for and to choose the best personnel for key positions.

It may be likely that Ian Ross is recalled to the starting eleven for the first time since early January, whilst Peter Holmes could figure against his former club. His namesake Derek will be hoping to get back to scoring form after his hat-trick in the 3-1 win in the reverse fixture at Sincil Bank just over a month ago.

Here's all the stats for you.
