Kennedy: The fans are so important

Mark Kennedy is looking forward to the atmosphere in City’s return to the LNER Stadium on Saturday.

The Imps host Wycombe Wanderers in the first home match of 23/24 at the weekend and the head coach is excited to reconnect with the City supporters after the summer break.

Kennedy said: “The things that always stand out to me are the home games and the connection with the fans. I am looking forward to that and it played a huge part in our success last year.

“The fans are so important. We have a group of fans that continually get behind us from start to finish and I think a good example of that was Peterborough United away last season.

“How the fans have connected and behaved towards us has been a real standout for me since I have been at the club.”

The Imps also completed the signing of Jack Burroughs on a season-long loan from Coventry City during the week, who is a player that Kennedy has been tracking for a while.

Kennedy continued: “I am really pleased to get Jack’s deal over the line. We have had our eye on him for some time. He is a very good player and is good technically with both feet.

“He is incredibly two-footed which is unique in modern football. He is a decent defender so I am really pleased to get that done.

“His versatility and adaptability to play in several positions was a key factor as well.”
