IT WAS his 21st birthday on Thursday, it’s St Patrick’s Day today and Lincoln City are on a roll in League One – no wonder Sean Roughan is loving life right now!
The Irish centre-half has played his full part as the Imps have put together a great run under boss Michael Skubala. Heading into yesterday’s home clash against Bristol Rovers, Lincoln were unbeaten in 12 league games and just three points of the play-off places.
And they earned rave reviews with a thumping 5-1 win at promotion-chasing Barnsley last Saturday and a 6-0 midweek home romp against lowly Cambridge.
“They were good results against a very good Barnsley side and a Cambridge side with their own threats,” said Roughan pre-weekend. “However, we can’t get carried away. There are very good teams ahead of us and we’re just looking towards the next game.
“If it happens (that we reach the play-offs), then it will be a well done to all of us. We’ll see in eight games’ time.”
