Lincoln have what it takes for promotion - Bradley

Defender Sonny Bradley says Lincoln City have what it takes to earn League One promotion this season.

The 34-year-old was part of Derby County and Luton Town sides that previously went up from the division and is convinced the Imps are on track to emulate his former sides.

He helped drive home that point on Saturday by scoring Lincoln's winning goal against league leaders Cardiff City, which moved the Imps up to second spot for Christmas.

"We have everything, I believe, we need to go and achieve what we want to achieve," Bradley told BBC Radio Lincolnshire.

"I've been in promotion-winning teams at this level on a couple of occasions and I've seen what it takes, certainly to be in the top six.

"I was with a Wycombe team on loan last season that finished in the top six, and we have got everything at the minute."

Lincoln are in their seventh successive season in England's third-tier competition, and have only featured in the play-offs once in that time.

They got past Sunderland in their two-legged semi-final in 2021 but were then beaten by Blackpool in the promotion final at Wembley.

Bradley says there is much for Imps supporters to get excited by again.

"Along the way there's going to be ups and downs, and we might have a couple of games where we don't get the results we want, and all I can ask from our fanbase is stay with us," he said.

"We go out every week prepared to win and we never settle for a draw. Stay with us because I believe we have everything in the building right now to be successful and we have January [transfer window] coming up now as well, so it's a possible chance for us to strengthen even more."
