11 | Lukas Jensen on mountain biking, clean sheets and finding a home with the Imps

Lukas Jensen has had an unusual journey - giving up football completely as a teenager to focus on mountain biking, before moving to England where he was training with international goalkeepers at Premier League club Burnley.
He joined the Imps in the summer and has been part of one of the meanest defences in League One, as well as the shootout hero of City's Carabao Cup win at Premier League side Sheffield United earlier in the season..

Post Wigan Athletic | Ben House on giving everything in the final three games.

It was a tough day at the LNER Stadium as our unbeaten run came to an end with defeat to Wigan.
But, after dusting ourselves off after a first defeat in more than three months, we can take great pride in the long unbeaten run which has put us right in the play-off mix.

Post Reading | Freddie Draper fired up for final four games

City had to settle for a point at Reading, with the 1-1 draw extending the unbeaten run to 16 games. Although results elsewhere dropped the Imps down to seventh, City's fate remains in their own hands as they head into the final four games of the season.
For Freddie Draper scoring his first League One goal was a special moment - he's relishing playing an important role in the team during the run-in to the campaign.
Head coach Michael Skubala was frustrated to see his side pegged back, but felt a point was a fair result against an impressing Royals side.

Jovon Makama's third goal of the season was the most important yet, as he came off the bench to seal a 1-0 win over Leyton Orient with a brilliant individual strike.

Pre Leyton Orient | Paudie O'Connor on making the final games count

Lincoln City's great form has certainly caught the eye, but skipper Paudie O'Connor knows it will only mean something if the Imps continue to perform in the final games of the season.
With a packed LNER Stadium awaiting when Leyton Orient visit on Good Friday, Paudie says the backing of supporters is crucial in every remaining fixture.
Head coach Michael Skubala, meanwhile, is keeping everyone focused and not looking beyond the next fixture.

Post Bristol Rovers | Lukas Jensen on keeping his 17th clean sheet

It was another impressive performance as the Imps registered a 5-0 win over Bristol Rovers. A hat-trick from Joe Taylor, along with goals from Paudie O'Connor and Reeco Hackett, sealed the victory but Lukas Jensen also caught the eye with a couple of important saves.

Pre Bristol Rovers | Sean Roughan on creative freedom and confidence

Sean Roughan is thriving under the creativity afforded to him by head coach Michael Skubala. Speaking on the day he turned 21, the centre-back has already amassed 89 senior appearances for the Imps and thinks this current form is the most he has enjoyed playing for the club.
Michael is enjoying the unbeaten run which now stretches to 12 games, but is taking it just one game at a time as he looks to mastermind a strong finish to the season.
