There is more than one league team that has not played a fixture since November but perhaps the side with the worst fixture backlog is Lincoln City.
This morning's postponement of their home game with Shrewsbury Town is their 5th league postponement of the month and leaves them to play 28 league games in 18 weeks having played 18 league games in the first half of the season.
In addition to this, Lincoln have an FA Cup 2nd Round replay still outstanding which is due to be played on 3rd Round day and as it is at home to bottom of the league Hereford United they will be favourites to win and have a 3rd Round tie at Wycombe Wanderers.

The next 4 months and 1 week are going to be very busy for Lincoln City before the season ends on May 7.

Their players are professional athletes, they can play twice a week.

Fair comment, but it does put them at a disadvantage fatigue wise compared to teams around them in the league.

They've played 18 games so far.
It's a 24 team league and 12 other clubs have played 19 games. So, they're actually just one game worse off than half of the league.
