Marked for Jonathan Mitchell

Squad25 Dec 2028

Jonathan Mitchell damages knee ligaments — 17 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 17 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match19 Dec 2028

Sean Steur leads the rout of Harrogate Town

4‑0, and Sean Steur took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Lincoln City tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings25 Dec 2028

Both of them Sean Steur's — 8.24

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.24, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match23 Dec 2028

Still nobody has beaten Lincoln City

The unbeaten run reaches 8. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad25 Dec 2028

Rhian Brewster is carrying Lincoln City

18 goals and a season average of 7.22. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad25 Dec 2028

At 20, Sean Steur is already the best thing here

An average of 7.03 in a first team he is several years too young for. Lincoln City have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Squad25 Dec 2028

Paris Maghoma falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces25 Dec 2028

One of their own: Rio Patterson-Powell

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Player ratings25 Dec 2028

One of those days for Jahnoah Markelo

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.11, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad18 Dec 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jonathan Mitchell

26 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Lincoln City lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match16 Dec 2028

6 unbeaten for Lincoln City

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation Lincoln City did not have in the autumn.

Squad18 Dec 2028

Tempers go at Lincoln City

Josh Honohan was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Loan watch18 Dec 2028

Txus Vizcay counts the days

“I watch every Lincoln City game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Neftchi runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad18 Dec 2028

Defences have started doubling up on Jahnoah Markelo

4 goals and a season average of 7.31 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Player ratings18 Dec 2028

Jahnoah Markelo takes the honours

Marked 7.42 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Lincoln City had the best player on the pitch.

The dugout18 Dec 2028

No hiding place for Rio Mundle

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Rio Mundle, and the manager let it.

The dugout18 Dec 2028

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Jason Lawrence was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Lincoln City dressing room was either.

The dugout18 Dec 2028

Cristian Ramírez dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

In brief
