Expendable Strikers The Imps may yet sign

Bold statement: Lincoln City would be a Championship team if it weren’t for injuries.

Okay, I’ll say it differently: Lincoln City would have been a Championship team in 2021/22 if it weren’t for injuries. If Liam Bridcutt, Tom Hopper, and Jorge Grant had not all had injuries at the same time in the last months of the 2020–21 season, we would have been promoted to the second division automatically.

A team with a lot of potential is once again in danger of being overshadowed by injuries. When I learned that Tyler Walker and Ben House would be sidelined for an extended period of time, it brought back terrible feelings of sadness because the best-laid plans of a club that was on the rise had, for the time being, been derailed by bleeding injuries. Certainly, losing one striker

I truly believed we had a decent chance of maintaining a top-ten drive, or maybe a run to the top six, but losing both of our key attackers for two to three months will make that extremely challenging. We’ll have a serious offensive weakness till the holiday season if Danny Mandroiu’s injury lasts longer than anticipated.

At this point, every clickbait website will offer you a list of free agents we could sign to fill the void. Warning: I’m not convinced that’s the path we’ll take. We have Reeco, who can play centrally, and that should be enough to see us through till November without Jack Vale, who should be a few of weeks away.

There’s no need to drive attention to those clickbait websites when I can simply list the free-agent strikers from England and Ireland for you here, right? Instead of me saying that these are the players we’ll be signing, the goal is to demonstrate to you that, despite our situation, there isn’t much we can do in terms of free agents.

since we won’t.
