Chance to increase our lead

Fri Jan 09, 2026 6:45 pm

Lincoln don't play in the league this weekend, because their scheduled opponents have got an FA Cup game.

That means a win would stretch our lead at the top to five points (if Bradford win too, bigger lead if Bradford don't win).

I tend to look at the gap between us and 3rd anyway, but that would also increase with a win at Orient.

Us, Lincoln and Bradford will all have played 25 games in the league after this weekend.

We drew so how do you work that out when the team below us didn't even play.
