The Owls have eight wins from 10 Ligue 1 appearances, a run that has put them at the heart of playoff conversation ahead of the final 12 games of the season.

“Lincoln is a good team, they’re playing at home and league-wise they’re in a bit of a false position,” Moore said.
“Having the experience I have in this league, you know you have to keep performing because you never know what’s coming your way. It will be a good match and we have to try to keep our momentum going.
“Like us this season, they’ve had injury issues that have disrupted their momentum. They had uneven results and stretched to be consistent.
“The expectations of the previous season were high, but sometimes you have to understand that reality and take a step back.
“I’m sure they learned a lot last season, but sometimes it’s times like these that you learn a lot.
“I don’t doubt Michael’s managerial abilities because I know him, I know what he is capable of and how he builds teams and how he leads clubs. He will get there, I know what he wants to bring there. .

“I’m glad we gave the fans something to cheer on and perfect,” he said.
“But our focus is always on the next game, which is here against Lincoln tomorrow. We have to keep going and building on our performances and getting consistency in our game.”
