Having won just two of their 20 League fixtures this season, Crewe can perhaps count themselves fortunate that they only sit seven points adrift of safety.

One of those victories came as recently as November 20, Alexandra getting the better of Gillingham, but back-to-back defeats have since been posted at AFC Wimbledon and Ipswich Town.

Despite positives coming from each of those outings, David Artell knows that only points will keep him in a job in the long term with the Crewe board inevitably considering his position to some degree.

In all competitions, however, Crewe have posted three wins from six games, their latest success coming over Doncaster Rovers in the EFL Trophy on December 1.

Each of those three wins came at the Mornflake Stadium, a record which gives Michael Appleton and his Lincoln squad something to think about ahead of Tuesday's contest.

在本赛季20场联赛中，克鲁队只赢了两场，他们或许可以认为自己很幸运，只差7分就安全了。

其中一场胜利发生在最近的11月20日，亚历山德拉战胜了吉林厄姆，但随后在亚足联温布尔登和伊普斯维奇镇接连失利。

尽管每场比赛都带来了积极的影响，大卫·阿尔特尔知道，只有得分才能让他在克鲁董事会长期工作，因为董事会在一定程度上考虑到他的位置。

然而，在所有的比赛中，克鲁队在六场比赛中取得了三场胜利，他们最近的胜利是在12月1日的EFL杯中击败唐卡斯特流浪者队。

这三场胜利都是在莫恩弗雷克球场取得的，这一记录让迈克尔·阿普尔顿和他的林肯队在周二的比赛前有所思考。
