Stag hunt for Imps but let’s not get led down the garden path.

Whatever you may say about Steve Evans he’s good entertainment and this week he’s been buttering up to Imps fans saying how marvellous we are. Danny Cowley meanwhile wants us to not get carried away venting our spleens on Evans but sticking to the matter in hand, supporting Lincoln City. I think a mixture of both will be apparent.

City are really getting going now and have leapt up the table recently. I said a few weeks ago that the Imps needed to get to grips with the standard of league two and once they did so I was confident they’d then get motoring. They will certainly want to continue tomorrow.

Unbelievably, given the stature of some of the clubs in league two at the moment City now sit atop the attendances league which when you consider that includes Coventry City, Luton Town Swindon Town and Notts County that’s certainly a testament to the Cowleys pulling power. Tomorrow’s game will increase City’s average still further with a gate of between nine and ten thousand given that people were still on holiday when the season began.

Personally I did think there would be some more big games this season but so far my expectations have been exceeded and this weekend’s repast will top the season so far by some distance in fact I’m expecting an atmosphere that will live long in the memory and a win on top will raise the roof not that it will keep our favourite Scotsman quiet for long.
