Manager Comments
Imps boss Michael Appleton discussed the threat Fleetwood Town have going forward and what to expect from Joey Barton's side in tomorrow's clash.
"We will look to stop the supply chain to the forwards," explained the Gaffer.
"That won't be easy because they have good experienced midfield players at Fleetwood. We will look to stop them early and deal with the threat. It will be a good game for us to judge our performance and see how we handle them.
"That will give me a better idea of where we could end up at the end of the season."
Appleton added comment about the Fishermen's last match against Hull: "The way their game went last week is probably what most people expected from them this year, they had a fantastic season last year and are a good side who will do well."
