City will look to make it three wins in a row in all competitions when they travel to Northampton Town on Tuesday 19 August (7.45pm KO).

Michael Skubala’s thoughts:
'We need to be mindful of how we go after them, but also be aware of their strengths, too.
"We have to be on it. I thought we were excellent for the first 70 minutes against Plymouth last Saturday.
"Now, we have to go away and put in a solid performance. I think it will be a similar game to Wimbledon, in the sense that they will be looking to get their first win of the season, so it'll be a tough game for us."
Francis Okoronkwo's thoughts:
"I'm really happy to be here, I was at the game on Saturday and it was a fantastic win against a strong team. The fans were brilliant and I'm really looking forward to playing in front of them.
"I stepped up to men's football last year with a loan spell at Salford City and I'm looking forward to testing myself in the level above.
"Once I knew Lincoln City were in for me, it was a no-brainer for me to come here and I just wanted to get the shirt on as soon as possible.
"There's a rich history of players coming to this club, developing and going on to flourish and I'm looking to follow in their footsteps."
