Hoyte's injury aside we go into the Barnet game full of confidence. Despite the Chesterfield defeat we have a strong case for the defence and our midfield can not only deal with, but also excel at, the bees.
A month ago this would have been the relegation derby, a do-or-die 6 pointer either side of the Football League trapdoor to the Blue Square abyss. But now Drewe Broughton has left, the Imps sit not so unlucky 13th and Barnet sit bottom two points adrift of safety.
