No ifs, no buts, it's a must win game for us at Lincoln. Just hoping we have a plan to cause an upset and scrape a win whether it's entertaining or ugly.

Probably the strangest back to back results in the club's history were a 5-0 defeat followed a few days later by a 6-0 win against Lincoln, I'd take 1-0 today.
27 points available, we are aiming for all 27. That’s all well and good if you’re not aiming a bent rifle with a dodgy sight and your eyes closed. I guess we won’t have to wait long for reality to bite.
So many short sighted on here and anti hamshaw think that getting rid would suddenly sort things out. Things go much deeper and a lot are in for a big dose of reality today.
Sad to say, but it is the truth.
How anyone thinks we can get a result today needs to drink less.
Lee Clark's first #rufc team selection.
Looks like 4-2-3-1, with Jamal Baptiste in midfield.
Dan Gore makes the bench after injury.
Quick recovery from Lino Sousa who came off in midweek.
