Saturday’s opponents went out of last season’s competition at the semi final stage after finishing 2-2 over two legs with Romford but exiting on penalties 10-9. Lincoln returned to winning ways in the league on Saturday leaving it late beat Deeping Rangers 2-1 after back to back defeats in the league.

Manager Daryll Thomas had this to say: “These are the games we want to be involved in we beat them last month and will go into the game full of confidence we can beat them again, we’ll have to be at our best to do so but we don’t fear them.” For the joint gaffers full comments make sure to pick up our Match-day programme.
