RICHARDSON'S BACK

The Imps have secured the loan services of fan favourite, Marcus Richardson. After over a month away, many are blaming the recent Imps slump on his absence.

Marcus Richardson is back with the Imps. He signs on a loan deal. He was on loan to the Imps earlier in the season and scored 4 goals in 10 starts and many see him as the best Imps loan signing since Peter Gain or John Finnigan.

He was recalled to Hartlepool just after the 3-1 victory over Huddersfield in October, however, he has only figured in their first team 3 times since.

Since his departure, the Imps haven't won away from home, losing 3-0 twice, 3-1 and a 0-0 draw. Hopefully with Marcus back, we can continue our playoff push.
