Lincoln boss Michael Appleton is looking forward to Saturday's game against Sunderland, and expects a tough game against Alex Neil's men...
ATMOSPHERE
“It’s a great game and everyone’s looking forward to it. From an atmosphere point of view, it will be like that Sheffield Wednesday game. They’ll bring a lot of fans down from the North East."
MUST-WIN
"They’ve got a newish manager in Alex. They massively need to points to keep themselves in the play-off positions."
RUFC 2-1 LCFC
“We’ve got to dust ourselves down and try and reproduce something similar to the second half (against Rotherham). If we do that, we’ll give ourselves a chance.”
CHARACTER
“They’ve showed really good character over the last five or six games, they win games late on. After that 65-70-minute, they’ve started to score regularly. They’ve been behind in a few games, so they’ve obviously got a good spirit.”
REGAN POOLE
“Regan is a doubt for Saturday but, knowing how he’s recovered in the past, you never know. I’d say his chances are 60/40 against playing."
