Darlington Affect Imps' Leave Roster Again!

3rd April 2006

Darlington have forced Lincoln City FC's leave roster to be rewritten, for the second time this season!

On December 31st 2005, Lincoln threw away a 2-0 lead against ten-men Darlington to drew 2-2 at Sincil Bank. Two days later, Imps' manager Keith Alexander and his assistant-manager Gary Simpson were placed on unexpected leave by Lincoln City's board of directors. Alexander later returned to the club, although Simpson left by mutual consent.

Now, Darlington have forced the cancellation of all leave for Lincoln City's players. This is Alexander's response to Lincoln's 4-2 defeat at Darlington, which occurred last Saturday.

Alexander confirmed: "I've told the players that there will be no days off until they get it right. It's as simple as that!

"Before (the Darlington match), we had seven games left, and I said that we needed to win four, but now we've got six left and we've got to win five."

Lincoln's final six matches of the season are mostly played in April, with fixtures at Wycombe Wanderers (Apr 17th) and Shrewsbury Town (Apr 29th) plus home matches against Mansfield Town (Apr 8th), Bury (Apr 15th) and Leyton Orient (Apr 22nd).

The Imps' final league match of the season is at Sincil Bank on May 6th, when they entertain Rochdale.
