Lincoln City’s head coach, Michael Skubala, is gearing up for what he anticipates will be a challenging and exciting League One season. In a recent interview with the Red Imps Club on BBC Radio Lincolnshire, Skubala expressed his optimism about the upcoming season, noting that he believes this year’s League One competition will be the strongest in recent memory.
Skubala, who took over as head coach last November, has been working hard to strengthen the team during the offseason. He has made 10 new signings, including goalkeeper George Wickens from Fulham and midfielder Conor McGrandles from Charlton. These additions, along with the existing talented young players on the team, have Skubala feeling confident about their prospects for the season ahead.
While acknowledging the tough competition that lies ahead in League One, Skubala emphasized the importance of having a good mix of experienced players and young talent. He believes that striking the right balance between youth and experience is crucial for success on the pitch and in the dressing room.
Despite the team’s solid performance last season, narrowly missing out on a playoff spot, Skubala is not resting on his laurels. He hinted at the possibility of more player movements before the end of the transfer window, although he downplayed the likelihood of Joe Taylor returning to the club permanently. Taylor, who impressed during his loan spell with Lincoln last season, is currently playing for Luton in the Championship, and Skubala understands that the young striker’s future may lie elsewhere.
As Lincoln City prepares to kick off their League One campaign against Burton Albion, Skubala and his team are ready to face the challenges that lie ahead. With a mix of experienced heads and promising young talent, the Imps are aiming to build on last season’s success and make a strong push for promotion.
Fans can expect an exciting season filled with twists and turns as Lincoln City looks to make their mark in what promises to be a highly competitive League One campaign. Stay tuned for more updates as the action unfolds on the pitch.
