Match Pointers
LINCOLN United are in the unique position of being the only team that can do the double over Albion this season.

The timing would not be better for the Whites, who languish seven points from safety with only six matches left to play.

Manager Mark Shaw believes his team pile more misery on Witton fans after their side's surrender to Fleetwood Town on Easter Monday.

"It's going to be a very tough test, to put it bluntly," he told the Lincolnshire Echo.

"Things are starting to stack up against us but I can't think of a better team do the double over than Witton.

"But for us to win, my players have to show the same desire as me."

Their 1-0 success over Jim Vince's men on the opening day of the season seems a lifetime ago now.

Front runner Gio Carchedi is a doubt to lead the line tomorrow after limping off during Monday's 2-0 defeat at home to fellow strugglers Ilkeston Town.

Strangely they have fared much better on their travels this season with five of their seven successes coming in away matches. Their last was a 3-0 win at Whitby in February.

Witton will be forced to make at least one change after Cavell Coo limped off during Monday's match. Ian Kearney will take his place.

Vince is expected to recall Rod Thornley to his attack upon his return from international duty with the England team. Brother Ben, signed this week, is not yet match fit.

Crewe Alexandra youngster Junior Brown comes into the reckoning after signing on loan from the League One club last night, although he may have to settle for a place on the bench tomorrow.
