Michael Skubala is clearly a talented manager and seems to be the right man for Lincoln City. However, considering the hopes at the start of the season, their current 8th place position wouldn’t have pleased fans.

When it comes to standout players, their 19-year-old forward in Bailey Cadamarteri is one to watch at the moment. He has four goals in his last seven games and scored in their last game.
