Team news | Bolton Wanderers (H)

Lincoln City shirt in the changing room prior to the EFL Sky Bet League One match between Lincoln City and Bolton Wanderers at LNER Stadium, Lincoln.

Michael Skubala made three changes to the team that defeated Reading on Good Friday. 

Ethan Erhahon came into the side for his first start for the Imps since February following a long injury layoff, taking the place of Tom Bayliss.  

Forward James Collins was rewarded for his match-winning goal against the Royals with a place in the starting XI, coming in for Freddie Draper. Erik Ring also returned to the side, replacing Joe Gardner.  

Skipper Paudie O'Connor is on the bench after serving his suspension, with Jack Moylan back in the matchday squad for the first time since mid-January. 

Skubala said: “On Friday we were really good and it looked a lot like what we want it to be going forward. 

“We’ve got one eye on next season, but it is important for me to reiterate that we still want to win games. We were fantastic on the day and its important to back that up at home against a team who are pushing for the play-offs.  

“Jacko (Adam Jackson) and Tom Hamer have been magnificent together as a partnership, Paudie is back on the bench waiting on the wings, but for me that selection is down to performances.  

“Ethan (Erhahon) has been doing 30 minutes off the bench, and we felt he’s ready to start, he’s unlikely to last the full match, but it’s good to get him some more minutes on the pitch.  

“Jack (Moylan) has been magnificent behind the scenes, you certainly can’t question his character. He has worked so hard to get himself back with the group and now he gets the opportunity to potentially come off the bench for some minutes.”  

Imps: Wickens, Darikwa, Jackson, Erhahon, Hackett, Hamilton, Ring, House, Hamer, Roughan, Collins.  

Subs: Jeacock, Bayliss, McGrandles, O’Connor, Moylan, Gardner, Draper.
