We take a look back at the Imp’s rollercoaster last season
Lincoln City secured a fifth straight season in League One with an 11th placed finish in 2022/23 – a campaign which saw a new Imps era take shape, woven in between famous wins, a lot of draws, and a few nervy times.
Speaking ahead of the season, Mark Kennedy was full of praise for the well-documented structure of the football club, saying the way it is run sets managers up for success and progress right away – though patience was still required in his first full season in charge of a senior football team. Take, for example, the Imps’ record against the top three sides in the league this season. Against champions Plymouth, Lincoln picked up four points. They also picked up four points against 2nd placed side Ipswich Town, and held Sheffield Wednesday to two draws.
That is just 11 points from a possible 24 against the four worst teams in League One this season, and it is surely something Mark Kennedy and his staff will work on improving over the summer. Drawn away to non-league Chippenham Town in round one, Lincoln received a taste of their own underdog medicine, as they were beaten 1-0 by the sixth tier side in a major cup upset.Lincoln City’s Player of the Year for 2022/23 – Paudie O’Connor.

Another contender for that award was Ben House, the centre forward who took his game to the next level in 2022/23. A word must also go to Ethan Erhahon, the Scottish midfielder who joined the Imps from St Mirren in January. The 22-year-old offered a calmness and quality to the midfield area that was desperately needed, and in a matter of months he has become an integral part of the football club’s future plans.Lincoln City manager Mark Kennedy.

However, Mark Kennedy’s focus and philosophy has not shifted and all we have seen in recent months is a growing togetherness within the squad – translating to impressive results on the pitch.
