Just hope we can turn some of our play into goals. Both Ipswich and Sunderland on Sat are mis-firing at the moment. We won’t get a better chance to turn them over. Come on City :toot:
 
Looking forward to this one.
It, like most games at the moment will hinge on players we cant drop at the moment because there is nobody to replace them with.
We in particular need Anderson to be firing on all cylinders, taking people on and getting quality balls into the box.
Please let's not mess about to much in our 18 yard box from our own goal kicks, it's only a matter of time before you give a pointless goal away.
 
Really looking forward to this. Last chance of me seeing us actually win a match in 2019. This being the 9th/10th game I’ve been to this year.
 
Today we take on the dirtiest team in League One: according to the FA Fair Play table, Ipswich have accumulated 216 disciplinary points (46 yellows, 3 reds) in their 20 league games. In contrast, only three clubs have a better record than Lincoln (140 points) - Bolton (138), Peterborough (134) and Rochdale (128).
 
It barely needs repeating that less than three years ago, there was a three-division gap between these two clubs, and it is a gap that existed for a very long time. Today is the first time we have met Ipswich in a League game since 15 April 1961; despite trailing to City at half time through an Andy Nelson own goal, Alf Ramsey's side left Sincil Bank with a 4-1 win courtesy of goals from Ray Crawford, Jimmy Leadbetter, Ted Phillips and Roy Stephenson.

Phillips and the perennially prolific Crawford scored 70 of Ipswich's 100 league goals that season. Curiously, the attendance today will be well in excess of the 7,820 poor souls who trudged along to witness yet another home defeat in 1961.

The win took Ipswich to within one point of promotion to the First Division for the first time in their history, and they went on to win the Second Division title by one point from Sheffield United. Lincoln had been relegated at Brighton the week before, and within two seasons had finshed in the bottom four of the Fourth Division. Lincoln have not been back to the second tier since.

Talk about diverging paths! What happened the following season is the stuff of legend - Ipswich won the First Division title at the first attempt in 1962. Three league titles in six seasons (Div 3S, Div 2, Div 1) earned Ramsey the England job in 1963, and we all know what happened after that.

There is a final twist: Ipswich were relegated in 1964, just two years after being league champions.
 
Today may deliver our second 10,000+ gate of the season to date.

On the subject of attendances, we have now had:
65 successive league gates over 5,000
61 successive league gates over 6,000
58 successive league gates over 7,000
20 successive league gates over 8,000
