Lincoln City have entered form at just the right time, climbing into the play off places in League Two after a solid Easter which saw them collect six points from two very tough games.

Firstly, they beat Exeter City 3-2 in a real thriller at Sincil Bank, before grinding out a 1-0 win against in form Carlisle United. The win effectively ended Keith Curle's play off ambitions, but put City right in the mix for the final few games.

It's been a hugely successful season once again for the Imps, they've got a week off from league action now as they prepare for their first ever trip to Wembley in the Checkatrade Trophy. It could be the second piece of silverware they lift in a calendar year, not bad for a side who's previous honour was the 1988 GM Vauxhall Conference title.

Many put the turnaround firmly at the feet of manager Danny Cowley and his assistant, brother Nicky. They've helped revolutionise a club, awake a sleeping giant and point them in the direction of success. Next week they're set to receive a civic award honouring them for their contribution to Lincoln as whole. Some might say it's already overdue.

Next season will already be on most fans' minds and whilst the little issue of the vacant manager role at Ipswich rumbles on, the hope is both Cowley brothers will be at Sincil Bank next season. If they are, they're going to have a couple of bold calls to make in the summer.

FLW look at four risks Lincoln City might have to take in the summer.

They have got to bring in another striker. Goals haven't been hard to come by, they've still scored more than Coventry and Exeter, but it has been the inability to turn draws into wins that has kept the Imps out of the top three.

Lincoln have lost nine games, the same as table toppers Accrington and Wycombe Wanderers in third place. If they had help for Matt Green, perhaps they could be higher up the table. Robust striker Matt Rhead isn't mobile enough for certain matches and Ollie Palmer has more impact coming off the bench.

There's been talk of a move for Barnet's out of contract Simeon Akinola, a player the Cowley's know well, but fans will be craving a bigger name with a ready-made reputation.

Young Ellis is a huge talent, he's been described as 'hell of a player' by Danny Cowley and was rewarded with a new deal earlier in the season.

So far he's only made cameo appearances, but he is widely considered to be the 'next big thing' to come out of Sincil Bank and only game time will coax the best from the former Leicester youth.

The January window hit Lincoln harder than some might admit, losing both Rob Dickie and Sean Raggett meant an entirely new centre back pairing had to be found. There's no coincidence that since the turn of the year the Imps have conceded more goals and that will need addressing.

Scot Wharton won't be coming permanently from Blackburn and Michael Bostwick is preferred in midfield, so City will need a new centre half to put pressure on Luke Waterfall and James Wilson. Former Imps Jack Hobbs is approaching the end of his Forest career, he's currently Lincoln's youngest ever Football League player, but he appeared for just two minutes before being swept off to Liverpool. A move for Hobbs wouldn't be cheap, but it might be worth the risk as he still has lots to offer. especially if City are in League One.

The final risk isn't on the pitch, but off it. Lincoln have consistently reached their capacity this season, with safety regulations keeping Sincil Bank under 10,000 capacity. This Sunday, they're taking 26,000 to Wembley, a phenomenal amount considering League One Shrewsbury have sold 10,000 tickets.

There's a thirst for football in the city and the club must look to capitalise on that in any way they can. They must take a risk and look to expand the capacity at the ground in any way they can, ensuring 11,000 fans or more at Sincil Bank for the first tie since the early 1980s.
