Who makes them tick?
At the back: Jason Shackell – Joined the club on a free transfer from Derby County in August 2018 and gives the defence a huge amount of experience.
In the middle: Jorge Grant – Arrived in the summer from Nottingham Forest and has provided a club-high six league assists this season, with two goals.
Up front: Tyler Walker – The son of ex-England international Des Walker and former Wanderers loanee is The Imps’ top scorer with 12 goals in 24 league games this season.
They said it
“I couldn’t wait until half-time if I’m honest because I needed to get them in and calm them down because they could have caved in after the goal.
“The performance in the second half was outstanding, we were unlucky to hit the crossbar and their keeper pulled off a number of saves.
“We looked threatening after scoring the penalty and I am relatively pleased. If things went our way, then maybe we would be celebrating three points today.” Michael Appleton on his side’s performance after drawing 1-1 away from home against Shrewsbury Town on Saturday.
