Views from the Match Thread ahead of kick-off:
Skip155: “Effectively our game in hand over Posh and Ipswich today. Be very nice if we could make it count.”
berksimps: “Hoping for more attempts on target and more goals today. Come on you Imps.”
Luke Imp: “We don’t really have another option but Grant as a deep midfielder against a side who are direct and scrap for second balls isn’t really ideal.
Melbourne might come in at LB for some additional height?”
