Club captain Peter Clarke says the squad can’t wait to get back into the action after last Saturdays postponement of the Peterborough United game. Idle until Monday, the big stage is the FA Cup second-round tie at Lincoln City.
Clarke confirmed, “The boys are all looking forward to the game after a bit of a break following the postponement. Greeny is getting near again and we look forward to the cup tie and doing what we need to do to progress to the next round. Over the course of time, I've played in ties against bigger sides and non-league and lower-league opposition in this competition. No matter whether it’s a team from the top of the Premier League or the National League, we will give them the same respect they deserve and prepare ourselves in a way that gives us the best opportunity to win the tie.”
“If teams get a bit of momentum, they can ride the crest of a wave. Grimsby have shown that after promotion and they are doing well this season. It is the case for any cup tie that you want to quieten the crowd - not just because Lincoln are on a decent run. We will go there with a game plan to beat them.”
