Lincoln City 4, West Bromwich Albion 2

More than 3,000 people headed down to the LNER Stadium to see the Imps rounded their pre-season off in style with a 4-2 victory over West Bromwich Albion.

Almost 2,000 Imps were at the game, with 1,229 Baggies making the trip to Lincolnshire on Saturday afternoon.

City head coach Michael Skubala (pictured below) was pleased to see his side end pre-season preparations on a high against the Championship side.

Two goals inside the opening three minutes were added to by second half strikes from summer signing Ryley Towler and Jack Moylan to help the Imps to a convincing win against their second-tier opponents.  

Skubala said: “It was a great way to end pre-season. I’ve said before that the performance is more important than the result and we certainly got that. 

“Hopefully that will give us confidence going into the first game of the season next week and beyond.  

“It was a good workout for us and it is always nice to finish pre-season on a high.”  

The Imps were a real threat from wide positions throughout the contest and Skubala was encouraged to see City continue to build on their strong qualities from the previous campaign.  

He added: “We have to keep our good qualities from last season, and the delivery today was excellent and caused them a lot of problems.  

“It was pleasing to see some of the things we’ve been working on in pre-season come off for us. 

“West Brom are a strong team and are tough to play against, but I thought we looked really good.  

“We made sure we played in the right moments and the balance of the team was excellent. It was a great performance.”
