Pre-match views from the Match Thread: PerthImp: “Stacey West reporting that Portsmouth have an injury problem with some of their players (at least two key players) and also that Mousinho is looking to change his team following two 3-1 defeats – speculating Regan Poole could be one of them to miss out. Of course he might be playing mind games. Let’s see what we’re really capable of and have a good go at them. 3-1 to the Mighty Imps” Scotimp: “Disappointed not to be there after my unscheduled flying lesson in Middlesbrough last week; sod’s law that I can’t make it to the first second division game at the Bank for 65 years. Will be watching on TV and clapping my bandaged hands enthusiastically.” clanfordimp: “I think when the coaches were going through the fixtures, targeting games where we would like to pick up maximum points, this would have been one of them. Totally different game to last week where we have to go out and be more on the front foot, be positive and create opportunities as well as having our disciplined shape and defensive work rate. Going 2-0 Lincoln. Wickens Darwikra – Hamer – Elerewe – Reach McGrandles – Varfolomeev Street – House – Hackett Draper”
