📝 Match Preview: Lincoln City (H)

9 March 2023

The Grecians take on Lincoln City this weekend in a battle of the Roman cities, looking to build on a positive performance last weekend.

City drew 1-1 at Wycombe last time out, meaning it was four points from two games after their last home win over Cambridge, and the mood in camp is promising ahead of the clash.

Lincoln are the draw specialists of League One having shared the points a whopping 18 times in 34 matches this season, but have lost only nine - only the top three have lost less matches this term.

Her Game Too Weekend

This will be the second time the club have hosted a Her Game Too dedicated weekend following a successful pair of matches in October 2021, when the men hosted Newport and the women hosted Plymouth Argyle.

For both matches, the two sides will warm up in Her Game Too t-shirts and there will be stadium announcements, big screen graphics and articles in the match day programme about Her Game Too. Alongside this, Her Game Too will be providing mini-flags for supporters, and there will be a selfie board in the fan zone for supporters to grab some pre-match snaps!

We will also be promoting the campaign across our social media channels to highlight some of the issues faced by women within a sporting environment.

The women’s team have also chosen to use their St James Park appearance to raise money for City Community Trust’s Peter Eveleigh, who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease last year. With this, there will be an online auction – including signed Lionesses memorabilia – in the build up to the game and they will also wear t-shirts supporting this cause, alternating between the warm up and pre-game line-up photos.

Exeter City is committed to ending all forms of discrimination. Should you hear anything at St James Park which you think is not right, you can text ‘HELP ECFC’ to 62277 to report discrimination anonymously.

Kevin Nicholson's Thoughts

City face a Lincoln side with a peculiar record this season - the 11th placed Imps have only lost more games than the top three in the division, but have only won nine matches all term, their 18 draws sets them on course for a new record of draws in the division with 12 matches left to play. 

"They are well structure and organised and difficult to beat as the stats will tell you," Nicho said.

"They are a tough nut to crack and they don't lose many games. They have got threats up front - they don't score too many or concede too many but on their day they can beat anybody. 

"We need to get the balance right between getting out on the front foot and exciting the fans, but also making sure we're secure at the back and not going all out up top and hope things work out.

"We are getting far better at controlling games and managing possession."
