With just one point separating the teams, Barnsley and Lincoln go head-to-head at Sincil Bank tomorrow in their League One clash.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Imps are hosting their first home fixture under new manager Michael Skubala, and are in a position to take Barnsley\u2019s position in the play-offs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tykes have two games in hand, but manager Neill Collins refused to be complacent on this matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: \u201cIt feels right now that you’re one win away from everyone being really positive and one loss away from everyone being really negative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barnsley\u2019s away day follows a woeful week which saw them eliminated from the FA Cup after they fielded an ineligible player.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving forward from this, Barnsley are preparing for a tough fixture in the shadow of Lincoln\u2019s majestic Cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skipper Jordan Williams said: \u201cWe played [Lincoln] at home [last year] and we lost, so I think we know we’re going to be in for a close encounter. But it’s about how we step into the game and show what we want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lincoln\u2019s four-game winless streak ended midweek with a 1-0 victory over Leyton Orient, their seventh triumph of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their campaign has been varied, most notably for the sheer number of injuries they have suffered among their strikers, and Imps boss Michael Skubula remained cautious at his press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: \u201cBarnsley are going well, and you can see by their results in the league that it will be a tough game, so I expect them to come into this strong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game kicks off at 3pm tomorrow at Sincil Bank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
