From a Mansfield POV, a Lincoln win is a worst case scenario based on remaining fixtures. A draw not much better and a Coventry win is probably the one they're hoping for.

Mansfield may have the ‘easier’ remaining fixtures but can you see them winning all/any of them in their current form? I certainly cannot.

Despite current form there has to be a reasonable chance they will, 3 games unbeaten, doesn't take much to change the draws to wins. Factor in that out the last 6 two of their losses were Accrington and Luton.
 
We have to assume they will win their remaining games and target 4 points. Tonight looks the better bet for us to pick up the 1 - at least. A win would be better as I don't want us to have to beat Yeovil on the last day.
 
Ollie Palmer needs 1 goal to reach double figures for the season.

Matt Rhead needs 2 goals to reach double figures for the third season in a row, which hasn't been done since Simon Yeo. Rhead hasn't scored in 16 games.

Top scorers: Green 16, Palmer 9, Rhead 8, Anderson 7, Bostwick 6.

The only players who have yet to score this season are Long, Arnold, Habergham, Stewart, Chapman, Williams and Pett.

Neal Eardley is set to play his 50th game of the season tonight. Not bad for a player written off by a number of clubs due to injury.

Top appearances: Palmer 52, Green 51, Woodyard 51, Bostwick 50, Eardley 49, Anderson 45, Rhead 45, Habergham 40, Whitehouse 38, Waterfall 36, Raggett 28, Long 25.

Tonight's attendance could be the largest of the season at a regular Lincoln match, currently held by the game at Notts County (11,672).
 
Hoping for a West Germany vs Austria in the World cup type of game. Will be best thing for both clubs. How friendly are DC & NC with the Coventry management team??
 
I think every team has a bogey team and we may be Accrington’s. I expect us to get 3 points Saturday. Tonight - anyone’s game!
 
This is taken from the Coventry forum:

'Who cares he’s a big donkey anyway'

Hope Mr Bostwick sees that.

Said the same to my mate on Saturday. We are just the type of clogging, dark-hearted, cynical thugs to upset their party.
