Transfer News Round-up

23rd November 2007

Transfer news round-up: actually, there is no transfer news!

Sadly, the transfer deadline for loan deals expired yesterday (Thursday) without Lincoln City bringing in any new players. According to Imps' manager Peter Jackson: this was not for the want of trying. However, the experienced players that he wished to sign refused a move because Lincoln are currently bottom of League Two.

So where does that leave us?

Basically, with the same squad that started the season, i.e. the same players who have got us into this mess! Happily, the squad is much better than their league position suggests. However, the old adage of "too good to go down" could soon apply to Lincoln unless some of their players start believing in themselves. They must also cut out the individual errors that is costing them points as demonstrated last week at Wycombe Wanderers when The Imps were reduced to ten men. Had all eleven been playing then there were signs that Lincoln could have claimed a point at promotion chasing Wycombe.

Jackson also have various youth team players to call upon, which he will have to as injuries take their toll on senior players. Thankfully, both Jamie Forrester and Dany N'Guessan are back in contention following injury. Unfortunately, both Nat Brown and Mark Stallard are still some time away from recovery, which should mean that youth teamer Danny Hone continues his involvement with the first team.

Next up is a vital six-pointer against Notts County on Saturday.

Up the Imps!!
